ZippyRulz Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Go Buchtel, Beat Denison !!Is that the current Buchtel Hall?It's hard to read the signs but it looks like there are some score predictions with Akron winning...just like on Zipsnation Quote
UAZips Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 I see signs for Hiram, Case, Denison, Kenyon...it looks like scores from their season thus far, or at season's end. Quote
Class of 82 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Is that the current Buchtel Hall?Yes. You can tell by the windows, the lintel over the doors and the brick "columns" on either side of the windows. That is the north entrance (front), with the students standing on the steps.You can even date the photo to the first decade or so of the 20th century, since the "new" Buchtel opened in 1901, and Buchtel College became the Municipal University of Akron in 1912. EDIT TO ADD: But the scores do use "Akron", so it's possible this dates post-1912.Go Buchtel! Quote
Zipmeister Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Of course that is Buchtel Hall in the background of this photo snapped last year. In the foreground are a bunch of education majors holding signs with their prediction of the 2008 Akron-Can't State football game. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 That picture was apparently edited at some point...I'm guessing in the late 1920's? I peeled back a few layers and found this - Quote

ksu sucks Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 It's 1908 and Can't is still 2 years away from sucking!!!Shh!! They're a historic four corner university! Quote

The founding of Can't Normal School in 1910 was a watershed moment... nay, perhaps even the defining moment... in the training of school marms in the Ravenna Metropolitan Area and throughout Portage County.You guys are so needlessly cruel and belittling.

ksu sucks Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 You guys are so needlessly cruel and belittling.Fixed that for you.they're about as historic as Stautzenberger College Quote
Class of 82 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 You guys are so needlessly cruel and belittling.Fixed that for you.Hey... making fun of Ravenna's school marms is bad enough, dude. But besmirching the wannabe paralegals and dental-office file clerks studying so furiously within the ivy-strewn storefronts of Old Stautzenberger crosses some sorta line. Have you no decency, sir?!

Zipsrifle Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure that this was AFTER Can't was founded. I think this may have been the original group of AK-Rowdies! Quote
