Interesting photo p/u - May 24th 1944 Fire
Every memento burned up, from Hobey Baker 1914’s hockey stick to the round football from the Yale-Princeton game in 1873. Also lost were 14 athletic murals that a noted artist had spent two-and-a-half years painting and a 2,500-volume library of sports and medicine, assembled over a lifetime by a retired staff member.
  http://paw.princeton.edu/issues/2014...that-was-then/ Picked up this interesting 1935 photo today of the Princeton Trophy Room...which burned down on May 24, 1944...So it's a rare glimps of these murals which were destroyed in the fire. I was about an hour from Princeton last summer of 2013 and was considering driving there to see their trophy room...but when I read it burned in 1944 there was no need
