Ongoing research on memorial tablet to Burlingame, Chriswell & Lowery

This bronze tablet, or plaque, was in the old Normal building, then Hartwell, then in the '90s rehab taken down, along with several WPA building dedication plaques. They ended up in the library, and recently Mary Jo Orzech took the initiative to get them to Duncan Chase in Art for restoration. The memorial names one is particularly interesting, and am researching the several persons.

   One intriguing thread I need to pursue some other time is that at one point one of the dorms was named for Lowery, and later changed. When and why needs to be explored...
