The cover of our May 14, 1926, issue documented the passing of a short-lived Yale landmark. Osborn Hall, a classroom building at College and Chapel, was built in 1888 over the objections of students and alumni who were unhappy about the removal of the cherished Yale Fence on that corner. By the 1920s, Osborn's exuberant Romanesque architecture was out of fashion, and the campus cheered its removal and replacement with Bingham Hall.  |
