#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: UWW Centennial Candle

It’s time once again for #flashbackfriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.

Here is another photo from the Robert Ortmann collection. Robert was a student at UWW (then Wisconsin State University-Whitewater) from 1967-1971. This view is from 1968 and features the “Centennial Candle” marking the 100th anniversary of the UWW in that year. This is the first photo of this the museum has seen–who remembers it?

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
