Often mistaken for the Class of 1915’s sundial, which is actually located on the lawn, the armillary sphere on the terrace of Old Main is a gift from the Class of 1966. The sphere is mounted on the back of a turtle as a depiction of the Greek myth about Atlas, the god that held the earth, who would place the world on the back of a turtle when he grew tired. Armillary spheres were invented before the Common Era and were used as an instrument to measure the position of celestial objects in relation to Earth. Courtesy: Penn State Archives

The original Old Main — Penn State’s first academic and administrative building — was completed in 1863. A fire partially destroyed the roof in 1892, which resulted in remodeling the upper floor and the bell tower. Age and heavy use took their toll, and the building was torn down in 1929. The current Old Main was opened in 1930.Courtesy: Penn State Archives
