1943 Anchor, School Spirit Artillery Gun

An anchor from the USS Randolph WWII aircraft carrier and a decorated artillery gun.

[Gina Godding, 01/09/2010]

Nice to see our weapons of war adorned with symbols of collegiate pride. And the anchor seems convenient for late night chaining and humiliation of fraternity pledges.
