They seem to like pointy roofs at Shippensburg.

That was the architectural style of the time.

Recitation Hall at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, is a product of that architectural style preference .

I would suggest the Allegheny Courthouse, in Pittsburgh shares that preference, too.

Yes. H. R. Richardson was the architect of that courthouse - major leading figure of the day and style.

Panty-raid!!!

The reflection of the bridge in the water in the Galeton photo is very nice.
What is that strucyure (?) in the water at the lower right?

Healey,
You would never get into that dorm without inside help and you might never be seen again.

Thread drift warning.

Did anyone posting or reading MTJ ever actually take part in a real panty raid?
If so did you get any panties and what did you do with them?

Yes. Nice part of the photo...

Looks to be some sort of barge // house - logging related, maybe?

Never, though some of my more "adventuresome" frat bros. did, upon rare occasion.
I never quite got the point of it, though some of the girls living in the dorm right next to our frathouse seemed to enjoy the episodes; however, their "dorm-mothers" never approved.
I had other things to do, some of them shenanigans, too, which kept me busy and amused; in fact, I enjoyed studying. The books opened up whole new worlds to me, as they were intended to do, moving me from being a former high school bumpkin to growing into a young man ready for his next adventures, in Europe and in NYC.

I still have those books.

While my freshman year was one that exposed me to a disturbing level of stupidity demonstrated by what were supposedly smart people (25% attrition rate 1st semester), I avoided as much of it as possible. I was a pre-Med chemistry major at the time and there were expectations that I was being held to that limited such foolishness.

I did see girls throwing panties from dorm windows but never met someone that had actually made it into a dorm.
Some of the panties that were thrown out were quite interesting.

What a buzz-kill, Rufus. As a freshman I participated in one sponsored by the seniors in my dorm, but it was hardly a true raid. We had prizes for biggest, smallest, most colorful, etc. I was fortunate to have a couple of female friends on campus that offered up samples so I didn't return to the dorm empty-handed (which I would have otherwise).
