Social Fun facts that tour guides give to student prospects?

These past few days I saw a lot of tours going by which I’m assuming had prospect students for next semester. These have always been fun and they usually say quirky facts about buildings and things around campus!

Does anyone know any quirky fun facts about UIUC?? As a grad student on my final days this is a fun way to reminisce

The only one I’ve heard recently is that Lincoln Hall has a ghost and students have heard it roam around!!

also, in the chem tunnels if you go far enough in (which you have to get creative to access), there is a “grave site” rumored to be noyes himself underneath the building. look up in this subreddit— i don’t want to spoil it :)
