History[edit]
Ceader Street once ran through campus, passing in front of the libary and the quads. The street was removed in the 1950's when the library was remodeled and an addition was put on Seymour Hall. This is why the Beta house looks so out of place, because the front portico used to be curbside to cedar street. If one were to look carefully at knox campus and notice the fire hydrants from cedar street still line the campus as if the street were still there. visualize and try to imagine campus in a different era.
