OLDEST PHOTOGRAPHIC VIEW OF HANOVER

Ihe frontispiece of this issue represents, so far as has come to our attention, the oldest photograph of any section of Hanover. It was discovered a few months ago in an antique store in Lebanon and represents the north side of the campus, probably in the very early '60s. Professor John K. Lord, who has examined it, writes as follows:

"In regard to the picture I can only say that it must have been taken before 1864, as the porch on the Lord house, built in that year, does not appear in it.

The house on the corner was 'Lang Hall,' occupied as a general store from 1791 to 1820 by Richard Lang. From 1830 to 1838 the building was the bookstore and printing office of Thomas Mann, and from the latter date it was used for students' rooms until 1865, when it was removed and made into a dwelling house in the rear of what is now Crosby Hall."
