Hilton U. Brown speaks at the cornerstone laying ceremony for Atherton Union

Description:	Hilton U. Brown (Class of 1880, M.A. 1882), President of the Butler University Board of Directors, stands at a lectern while speaking at the cornerstone laying ceremony for Atherton Union. Other University officials sit on chairs behind him. The man wearing the light colored suit in the front row is likely J. I. Holcomb. Student Council President Patricia Bond (Class of 1949) is the woman in the second row with the barrette in her hair. People watching the ceremony are sitting or standing in front of the speaker, or standing to the side, inside the building, even though it is still under construction. The mornings classes were shortened so that students were able to attend the ceremony.
