Finally, justice has been served.
And it rocks.
Last November, I covered the story of a stony situation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
It’s a tale dating back nearly 150 years.
In 1887, Thomas Chamberlin became president of UW-M.
He held the position for five years.
Thomas had been Wisconsin’s state geologist from 1873 to 1882.
In 1925, a large boulder — officially deemed Chamberlin Rock — was adorned with a plaque in his honor.
The inscription:
As state geologist, [Thomas] conducted a survey distinguished for high scientific and economic value.
As president, he made the spirit of research effective in the organization and life of the university.
He first distinguished and named the drifts left in this region by successive ice advances. This boulder, brought by the continental glacier from ancient pre-cambrian bedrock in Canada, was deposited here in the Wisconsin or latest glacial drift, of which this hill is a part.
But the 1920’s were drastically different than their century-ahead counterpart.
