- Abstract
- For many years, including 1972, students perched a Christmas tree on top of Throop’s dome. The wrecking crew had to remove it on December 20 that year before they started demolishing the building, but in the spirit of the season they put it back up again on December 22 for the holiday weekend. Later their company donated a full-grown tree for planting on the Throop site. Throop Hall miscellaneous.
