...moment, construction workers are hanging the windows. From the glances one can glean from outside, the exterior brick walls, aluminum ceiling stuccoed on top and the electrical guts of the building look as if they are in place.

Rumors circulate: one account explains that early one morning, forty years ago, a cleaning lady vacuuming alone in Wadsworth House saw a grim character in a Tricorn hat and cloak silently come down the stairs and go out the door; another report describes the sounds of a phantom dinner party that filled the corridor by the southwest corner of University Hall, a displaced echo of the dining hall that occupied the building in the 19th century; and some remember hearing Bill Gannon, former sexton...
