Where Lucky Married Chavez
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache was placed near where Lucky Chavez became Mr & Mrs., at Meharry Hall at East College. BYOP.
Difficulty level is due to the possibility of muggling, but students are always doing silly things in large groups here, so you will likely go unnoticed. Difficulty level here is strictly due to the amount of people who pass by regularly.
*Lucky Chavez has permission from Depauw University to hide a cache at these coordinates.
************CONGRATS ATWILL AND MERIWILL FOR FTF!***********
You will find the cache outside the building, NOT inside. It is large enough for a few coins and tags, and the log. We will keep a good eye on this one for muggling, but please PLEASE log any DNF's and maintenance needs so that we can be alerted right away to any attention needs. This one has potential for muggling, and if it happens we will change the coords a bit.
East College is centerpiece of the DePauw University campus. It is one of the oldest buildings on the campus of DePauw University. Located at the center of campus, it is a symbol to DePauw students of the University's tradition of excellence and learning. The bell tower houses a clock that was donated by the citizens of Greencastle and the East College bell, a gift from the class of 1879 which originally cost $350. The bell was hand rung on all special college occasions and to celebrate athletic victories. It was also rung as a result of student hijinks and to signal class hours. Now the bell is controlled electrically.
Meharry Hall is located on the second floor of East College. With its old wooden blinds, its high ceiling, and its divided wooden pews and balcony, complete with the creaks and squeaks of the traditional hardwood floor, Meharry Hall has the feel of an old chapel. This stunningly beautiful hall is the site of several convocations for the DePauw student body and, according to some students, is supposedly haunted.
The cornerstone was laid on October 20, 1870, but construction went slowly as it was dependent on the availability of funds. Help came in the form of a contribution of $10,000 from Jesse Meharry (who had once proposed that the university be moved to a location on his Tippecanoe County farm) and a subsequent pledge from Washington C. DePauw to complete the exterior, furnish the chapel, and landscape the grounds. In June 1874 the building was far enough to hold Commencement ceremonies in the chapel; in the fall of 1875 classes met in the structure for the first time. East College was officially dedicated at Commencement in 1877.
