News from Wabash & Vic Powell's favorite story

Here is the latest news from Wabash.  As you scroll down, look at the story by archivist Beth Swift about that famed statue of Lincoln and his dog on the steps of the Campus Center (Sparks Center).  With great fondness, I can recall Vic Powell, many times, telling with wonderful zest the happenings of that event.  He could barely get through the tale without falling in fits of laughter.
