This week we're digging deep into the archives and traveling back to the old campus. This photo of a car entering the Olivet, Ill., campus was taken just a year before a fire devastated the University. In November of 1939, the main building on Olivet's campus burned down and the school relocated to its current location in 1940.
Byron Carmony, author of Olivet's Alma Mater, penned the song "Back Again in Olivet" in 1939.
"Old Olivet,we're back again once more within your halls
We love to know tho far we go that oft your spirit calls
To those who spent their student days inside your welcome door
To Olivet our voices raise, 'We're here again,' once more"

Thanks to all who participated in last week's caption contest! Congratulations to Chadwick Oring Anderson for his winning caption:
"After 10 semesters of nothing, ONC officially stopped offering the 'Rapture Watch' course, much to students' disappointment."
