Description
“We think we are most happy in the selection of our name, The Mound. Situated near the center of the campus is the Historic Mound, upon which grows a stately sycamore tree, in which birds of days gone by have been born, reared, educated, and graduated into the knowledge and mysteries of life.” – 1908 Fairmont State Normal School Yearbook This wood is from the present day Mound Tree – a poplar which was removed in 2014.
