Campus trivia:

One of the things that we seldom focus on is the signs and plaques around campus. As important as they can be, because they blend in, no one would suspect how many there are.

A recent inventory revealed that there are approximately:

242 Painted signs

115 Bronze plaques

77 Bronze building names

25 Monuments

For a grand total of 459!
