A trip down memory lane: A look back at 'Old Campus'

[Kyle321n]

Now, to attract not just athletes but quality students to cheer on those athletes, just a few changes have occurred on campus since "The Shot"
1. 2004 $33,000,000 Christopher Center
2. 2005 Kalley-Christopher Center for Meteorology and Geography
3. 2009 $74,000,000 Harre Union
4. 2013 Fites Addition to Engineering
5. 2013 Solar Energy Research Facility
6. 2013 New Arts and Sciences Building
7. 2014 New Welcome Center
8. 2014 Beacon Hall
9. 2015 Completion of $15,000,000 addition to the Chapel
10. Significant addition to the University's Endowment

I know I've missed some things.  All this with a living alumni base of less than 50,000.  Has Loyola built as much in the same time frame?

The things I can think of is Kade-Duesenberg in 2000 and Uptown East Apartments even more recently for residential. But that's a pretty good extensive list of things.

Don't forget the Heritage Hall remodel in 2010!

Good catch!  Actually though, it wasn't a remodel but rather a "cosmetic duplication".  The original was way to far gone and with all the new laws it couldn't be saved.  The new building was made to "look" like the original.

I, like many, thought it was a nod to "old campus", until someone (my mom?  Mel Doering) enlightened me that it was a (Richard?) Heritage for whom it was named.  Who'd've thunk?

I bet a lot of other people here remember old campus...the old "19 SCIENCE 07" building and the other...uh...what was the other building?  Did they both go in the fire or just one and the other later? 

What was the name of the multi-story building to the N of Heritage...used to have YASW there 25 years ago...and of course, across the street, the immaculately named "Moody Labs".

Sigh.

ll, let's start the "old campus" stroll, here, at DeMotte Hall, where many of us studied business:

DeMotte!  OF COURSE thank you so much.

(then where was "Rensselaer Hall"?  ...besides RPI, bbtds.)

But then again, were you referencing old SCIENCE hall, where the atomic reactor encouraged students to "keep moving" when the red light was blinking??

[LaPorteAveApostle]

Yes!  And glad I remembered the 19 07 part right.  The other one was ...what, though?  I'll kick myself when you tell me.  Wasn't 1907.

As it turns out Baldwin, the last of old campus, other then Heritage, was torn down in 1996.

How about

? ? ? ?

It's on south campus.

Baldwin Hall...right.  Science was destroyed by that awful winter fire...early 90s?

What year was Baldwin?

17. Baldwin Hall: Constructed in 1900 as a science facility, Baldwin Hall was notorious for its poorly controlled heating
system. Students would come to class after hiking the tundra (see #32) and their glasses would fog, snow and ice would melt off
their boots onto the wooden floor, and they would sweat through classes. The hall was named for Samantha Elizabeth "Mantie"
Baldwin, a professor who came to the campus with Henry Baker Brown and taught at the school from 1873 until 1914 (see #34).
Baldwin Hall was demolished in 1996.

34. One of those who traveled from Ohio, Mantie Baldwin
(see #17), was in love with Brown. Unfortunately for Mantie, Brown fell for his secretary.

It should have named Mantie's Unrequited Love Hall

18. Heimlich Hall: Built in 1906, Heimlich Hall was the home of Valparaiso University's medical school. Students could
complete their first two years of medical school at Valpo and then transfer to a medical and dental school owned by Valparaiso
University in Chicago. Located alongside the campus railroad tracks, classes in Heimlich were disrupted whenever a train would
pass. The floors were slightly slanted, so when trains rolled by, not only would the building shake, but the whole contents of the
classroom would slide across the room. Several professors prided themselves on being able to lecture over the sound of a train
going by. Heimlich Hall was burned by a local serial arsonist in 1993.

A new medical student, while observing his professor, who was trying to lecture over the sound of a train going by, with the building shaking so hard that the stethoscope around his neck became lodged in his throat. The student fell on the professor, due to the shaking, and dislodged the stethescope, therefore saving the professor's life. The move was later called the Heimlich Maneuver.

RIGHT I REMEMBER THAT NOW...CRAZYTOWN

Wait...so Heimlich was "Medical Building" and Baldwin was "Science Building"?

The move was later called the Heimlich Maneuver.

Saw what you did there.

DeMotte, my favorite building from my time at Valpo.  2 years there then the new building opened.

My first class was in Heritage.... Psychology with Professer Rudolph C Waldschmidt.

I also had a speech class in a building down there where they had doors on two sides of building, one for the first floor and the other for floors two and three. What was that building?

Correct. When the buildings were constructed they had had not been named for HB Brown's former lovers yet.

On another note... I did not watch Quantum Leap very often, but still remember the episode where Sam leaps to a Bar Mitzvah in the greater Cincinnati area during the mid 1960's.  He is talking to his sidekick (whom no one can see) and is walking past a man that begins to choke.  Sam immediately performs the Heimlich maneuver on the man, and continues on.  Others come up to the man and say "Dr. Heimlich, are you OK".  The real Dr. Heimlich was from Cincinnati, and published his 'manuever' in the early 1970's.
