Waterworks Ruins

In 1913, President Graham undertook to improve the College's water supply.  Here a dam and sluices collected water from several spring-fed streams; it was then run through filtration tanks (whose walls still stand), and pumped up to the water tower beside Cushing Hall by a Model-T Ford engine bolted to the pylons beside the path.
