Celebrating 100 years of AYRES HALL, MORGAN HALL, and NEYLAND STADIUM

Picture it. Knoxville, June 1921. Campus is bustling with the excitement of commencement week and the dedications of two grand new academic buildings: one crowning the Hill and becoming a symbol of the university, and the other nestled near the river, solidifying UT as one of the country’s agricultural leaders. And just a few months earlier, another area of campus—one that would come to be known for touchdowns and cheering fans—was christened by the crack of a baseball bat. Take a look at some interesting and unusual facts surrounding three campus icons celebrating their centennials this year: Ayres Hall, Morgan Hall, and Neyland Stadium.
