dorm room in Waldo Hall c. 1908

Posted on Thursday, April 10, 2008 by Laura

Check this out! From the OSU Library Archives: “From left to right: Faye Roadruck ‘08; Jessie Davidson ‘09; Gertrude Davidson ‘08. Photo was used in the 1908-1909 college catalog in the picture section.”

The OSU Writing Center, and where I spent most of my time, is in the basement of Waldo Hall. It’d be great to have a high-resolution version of this photo so I could see/read everything on the walls. That’s obviously Lincoln in the middle top of the group of portraits at right. Is that Whitman at left? And who’s that to the right of Lincoln? Looks like Hawthorne at the far left, and John Ruskin (!) at right. Mona Lisa and ?? at bottom.

Faye Roadruck \'08; Jessie Davidson \'09; Gertrude Davidson \'08.
