Revision
August 14, 2007- I have spent the last 48 hours completely revising this page to the best of my ability (within this limited amount of time I have to devote to this endeavor). I am sure everyone will agree this is a vast improvement over what the page previously looked like. However, I am sure I have made errors and ommissions (my spelling is typically poor). Please feel free to add to and correct the contents of the this page to make it as good as possible.24.160.164.185 20:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Traditions/legends
}}
 * 1) School Colors - Black and Magenta. The school officially made these the school's colors during the 1894-95 academic year. Legend has it that the color magenta was inspired years ago by a ribbon on a much admired hat of a lady faculty member.
 * 2) Muskie "Hello!" - It is tradition that students, administrators and faculty members greet each individual they see on campus with a cheerful "Hi!" Because the campus is small, students quickly become familiar with virtually everyone on campus.
 * 3) College Seal - Another respected tradition at Muskingum is that of never stepping on the college seal which is inlaid in the floor of the main entrance to Montgomery Hall. Legend has it that breaking this taboo results in the violator failing their next examination.
 * 4) Spoon-holder - According to campus lore, sweethearts who kiss three times on the Spoon-holder, a small gazebo on the shore of the college lake, will someday marry.
 * 5) Illumination Nights - the campus is illuminated on Commencement Weekend and Alumni Weekend, when the entire campus is lit with Japanese lanterns.
 * 6) Chapel... the campus community gathers for worship in Brown Chapel on Thursdays at 11 a.m. No classes are scheduled during this hour in order that a time for reflection and renewal might be observed.
 * 7) Alumni Weekend - occurs annually, usually in mid-June. Hundreds of Muskingum College alumni converge on campus for class reunions, the president's state of the college address and the alumni banquet.
 * 8) United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America - the precursor to the current Presbyterian Church (USA), was established during merger talks between the United Presbyterian Church of North America and the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America in Muskingum College's Brown Chapel in 1958.
 * 9) Bob Jones, Sr. - ,the founder of Bob Jones University, was awarded an honorary degree by Muskingum in 1921. In less than a decade Jones would establish his controversial fundamentalist Christian school
 * 10) Ghost of Patton Hall - Patton Hall is said to be haunted by the spirit of a female student who hanged herself on the third floor. This spector, whom people call Denise, enjoys locking and unlocking doors, leaving residents presents, and turning off and on lights. Some have claimed they have seen her noose when looking into a third story window from Lakeside Drive.
