UNI students will once again search for the remains of the oldest building on campus.
This may seem a bit abstract, but please consider this: The grounds of the University of Northern Iowa are like a Jell-O salad.
Think of the grounds as a three-dimensional mold, the jiggly, gelatin confection analogy within which layers of the university’s history reside. Bricks, limestone rubble, nails and all other manner of bygone miscellany then become the fruit cocktail, the artifacts that are unearthed as you excavate through that iconic dessert.
