Just to be clear: the REAL Old Main was torn down in the 1950s, and the current Harrison Hall was built... the closest one can come to the location is the eastern corner of a central third-floor classroom on the southern side of the building. I have actually seen a picture of the Union Lit Hall, though it was nowhere near old enough... I've also read their constitution. If one examines that one, as well as the Erodelphian, one will get some VERY STRONG HINTS as to how Knox and Marshall went about their work. One needs to remember that Knox, graduating from college at the age of 19, on that Thursday in August, was quite good at Greek, as were all the rest.
