Image 3 of 11

In 1952 the widow of Herbert Atkinson asked then-President Howard Bevis if her husband could be buried somewhere on campus. Atkinson was a 1913 law graduate who. among other things, served on the Board of Trustees for 23 years. The Board of Trustees granted her wish, and his cremated remains lie inside a second-story wall behind a plaque bearing his name.
