Talk:University of Southern Mississippi

Ah ha! They've apparently got a much better copier in McCain in the back. The first version of that picture looked AWEFUL, but then the lady took the book and was like "lemme see if I can get a better one," and a minute or two later she came back with this awesome copy. I wish it was a little bit wider so you could see the old eagle cage and Highway 49. -- Brad

I just checked the USM website (http://www.usm.edu/profile/index.htm) and it didn't have Southern Hall or Mississippi Hall listed as an original building, so I just decided to create a new category for old buildings but not original buildings. They're obviously pretty old since they appear in those pics from the 20's. -- Brad.

There is a conflict between History of Forrest County and Hattiesburg, A Pictorial History. HoFC doesn't mention Southern Hall as one of the original buildings but I think HaPH does. We oughta double check that. Southern Hall does seem newer than the others on the inside, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Also, HoFC doesn't mention Mississippi Hall as one of the original buildings. -- Brad
 * Southern Hall was built a couple years after everything else, so it's not an original building, but still one of the oldest. -- Brad

The old school house: http://hburgwiki.rednek.net/images/IMG_1340.jpg

Where is that old school house?!

The Old School house is basically inside OMH across from the library. The building was built around it. There is a little courtyard with the School House in it.

I checked it out and it is an open air area in the middle of the building. The building was built around it. I know it is impossible, but it would be great if you could get a camera shot up close on the school house, so that's all you can see, then pull out quickly showing the building around it, then pull out even more in a crane shot (I am really dreaming) showing more and more buildings ending finally in an aerial shot of the entire campus. O well, if we don't have dreams what do we have?

Perhaps we can get some stuff from on top of the USM Library or the Science Tower.
