Photographer: William J. Toman
Taken: November 7, 2010
Caption: Nearby Class Year Markers
Additional Description: As noted on the UW-Madison Muir Knoll web page (see link), "During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was common for senior classes to erect memorials bearing the year of their graduation. Several of these markers can be seen near the edge of Observatory Drive. Over the years, some have complained that the assemblage of markers makes the area look a graveyard. Indeed, pranksters once planted a stolen tombstone here!"
