Talk:Old Main (Pennsylvania State University)

Mule
There could be a mention of the mule Coaley, who carried the limestone used to build Old Main. Furthermore, the bones of Coaley still rest on campus in one of the Ag Hill buildings.
 * Do you have a reference for that? I've never heard of that, and I've been studying at PSU for a few years now. --Spangineer (háblame)  02:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No, but I've seen Coaly's (I spelled it wrong before) bones with my own eyes. There use to be a little coffee shop in the HUB called Coaly's Cafe after the mule.  Anyway, I found this article: Coaly and the Sesquicentenial.  Apparently, the bones are now in the HUB somewhere.
 * Last year the bones were on display on the upper floor of the HUB, along with the story.--Joe 18:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The bones are in the HUB, near the HUB auditorium under the wall-mounted television last I checked. That Coaly story is told to visitors who take the Old Main bell tour, along with a story that talks about how pranksters used to carry the mule up the steps to the towers. It could use a reference though. --Jtalledo (talk) 18:20, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * There's also a short story about him with his bones. (I just found them!) --Spangineeres (háblame)  22:52, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
