[QUOTE="SuperintendentChalmers, post: 1868440, member: 535862"] I believe it was a professor who would occasionally write pieces contesting the name of Assembly Hall, because it was not a "hall," which he took to mean "a rectangular space with various entryways." He crafted some technical, impossible-to-prounounce name that he said accuratlely described the building's dome and circular shape. Though his suggestion wasn't used, I hope he was somewhat gratified by the name switch to State Farm Center if he was still around. [/QUOTE]
