eclicaiion , In the year of che refinishing of Old Main's exterior, the Knox Gale can be dedi- cated to only one person. A man built Old Main, two men made history in a debate in the shelter of its bricks, men as teachers and presidents and trustees have proclaimed the important association of Qld Main with a central man and a central speech in American history .... But, as usual, a woman has had to carry the job through, a woman who needs no introduction to Knox students, new or old. janet Greig Post was a graduate of the Class of 1894, just before Dr. John H. Finley held the first cele- bration of the Lincoln-Douglas debate. She was the Dean of Women from 1896 to 1902, including the occasion of the second celebration. Then she was the wife of Judge Philip Sidney Post, a member of the Class of 1887 and a Trustee of the College from 1901 to 1920. Since 1925 Mrs. Post has carried forward her husband's work as a Trustee and has endowed a professorship in the College in his name. Now, in the face of one of the most severe periods of depression our country has ever experienced, this devoted woman ,has set herself with single-hearted courage to the redoubtable task of accomplishing the restoration of Old Main, that its significance for Knox and America may be as soundly, as beautifully, and as permanently ex- pressed in wood and brick and stone for the second century of Knox's life, as it was for the first.
