Huh. I was still on campus in Chicago when the 125th celebration occurred,
but I was home shortly thereafter and found no sign of such an exhibit. If I
can, I'll try to find out what that was all about! (It's possible that there
was a *very* temporary display for that one weekend, I suppose, but I find
it highly unlikely that no one would have told me about it...)
