<div>Austin College moved from Huntsville to--I believe--Sherman, TX. Either Sherman or Denison, but I think Sherman.</div>

<div>The Old Main building at Texas St U in San Marcos still stands. It was weird to see Old Main that tall LOL<br><br></div>

<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">I did a historical piece on Old Main a couple of years ago for Sam’s 125<sup>th</sup> year celebration. We reconstructed a 3d model in AutoCad and 3d Studio Max from blueprints, photos, and a few oral accounts. Don Charles has a copy of the DVD and I still have a few. If you like, I will pass one on.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">One of the oral accounts passed on the story of having seen the blaze in Madisonville. It seems that the hill where Old Main is located is the highest point between the Gulf of Mexico and just southwest of Dallas.</span></p>

<p>This IS Raven's Fort's 20th Anniversary coming up, right? If I'm not mistaken, Baron and Baroness Raven's Fort were invested on 23 September, A.S. XXIV (1989).</p></div>
<div>

<div>
<p>In a strange coincidence, the cornerstone of the Old Main building at what was then the Sam Houston Normal Institute was laid on 23 September 1889 :-)</p></div>
