1935
This photo of North Gate appeared in the 1935 annual yearbook The Oak. See the 1927 yearbook photo from the other direction. Weyandt Hall would later occupy the area to the left of this "gate" entrance into campus. The brick road (Washington Street) seen on this side of the gate no longer exists and basically merges into the same location as the present entrance walkway into Weyandt Hall. (See more information.) The sidewalk pictured coming in from the right would now lead into Weyandt Hall on the left. These brick pillars were later moved alongside Oakland Avenue. (See more information.) I remember seeing these same brick pillars there for a while with the balls on top in 1976 and then replaced later by a much larger brick entrance (c. 1980?). Especially notice the white plaque in the 1927 photo that says the gate is a gift from the class of 1900 in the year 1920. There is a plaque on each of the two sides of the gate and these same two plaques are now embedded in the newer brick entrance (without the original balls on top).
