This was the
first class we took together in OSU in which, I (Iris), Franklin, Kid and Leon made
up a team to participate in the information hunt activity.
We first went to
the Orton Hall which is a beautiful building with stone walls and a tower. When
we walked in, it was quite. We stood and looked around silently, and saw nobody
in the hall. I noticed that the fans on the celling upon the stairs are made of
elaborately-carved wood. Noticing that, in front of us behind the glass door,
erected a skeleton of some kind of a large animal; we walked in and then found
our interviewees.
We separated and
chatted to two of them. The man told us that, he is a professor of another
department and was bringing his children and family to visit this tiny museum
filled with fossils and rocks. He introduced that this museum is for students
of earth science. The large skeleton is a Megalonyi Jeffersoni Giant Ground
Sloth. There is also a memorial library of Geology on the first floor.
The stone wall
of this building is made of Hocking ralley red sandstone. The tower is a bell
tower and it used to ring when class begins and ends. There are 24 pillars
around the tower, on witch curved a different gargoyle which represents a
different type of prehistoric animal life found. The other family members
searched in the museum to help us, too. It was so nice to meet them.
