Finals week can be a stressful time for students and faculty alike. On December 4, 1967 a desperate student was caught trying to steal an exam by a cleaning woman on the third-floor laboratory. The student panicked and attacked the woman. After almost decapitating the woman, the student made of with the master set of keys. He was caught months later while trying to sneak into professor Kent Rylander's office while trying steal another exam. The custodian still shows up around finals time roaming the halls with a lit candle. Supposedly, there is still a large bloodstain on the third floor where she met her demise.

Howdy, Enjoy your blog BUT, this is NOT where the cleaning lady was murdered. This may be the biology building now but she was murdered in the middle building of the old science quadrangle, second floor. I know because that night I was walking back to Thompson Hall from the library (where I was scoping out girls in the basement)...
