By Mark Alden Branch ’86 | 6:19am October 14 2024

Before Sloane Physics Lab on Science Hill, there was another building by that name on campus. Where is this carving that commemorates its former location?

    <> Jonathan Edwards College. Interior courtyard. Near the northwest corner <> One problem: The old photo of the old Sloane Physics Lab shows its footprint corresponds to the Wheelock Hall section of JE built in 1925 on Library Street, facing Branford College/Harkness Quad ...The present Sloane Physics Lab was built in 1912. Therefore the old Sloane lab must have been demolished before 1925. Can anyone confirm this deduction?

    <> Finally...found a photo showing this carving above Entryway G, the one with the drama masks marking the college theater...
