Altgeld Hall

just read they are doing chimes tonite or tomorrow night, for what might be the last time for 2-3 years.
the Hall is getting totally remodeled.

I always loved the chimes . The Flintstones theme song comes to mind

I had one class in there . Calculus 105. My worst grade in my entire life. I just never understood it

Altgeld actually reminded me of my high school, creaky wooden floors, high ceilings and all. I also had one class there. Summer 1979, Matrix Algebra, sweated my ***** off while trying to keep up with the math majors.

I still have the paper copy of my first Math 285 (Differential Equations) exam from many years ago in Altgeld Hall. Amazingly, I got a 2 out of 60, and I'm pretty sure those 2 points were for writing my name. Looking back at it now, it is rather comical how much work I wrote out for each question, only to have it all be completely wrong. The professor's markings were a lot of 'x's and '?'s. I can laugh about it because I got a perfect score on the next exam and ended up with a C overall.

The way those were curved sometimes that might have been a C.
