Since Murphy Hall is such an \u201celusive\u201d place on Arcadia\u2019s campus, students that don\u2019t have any reason to be there tend to forget it even exists. I\u2019m sure that there are first years that will arrive, make it through their 4 years, and graduate before knowing Murphy as anything more than \u201cthat one with the tower over there.\u201d Maybe it\u2019s the fact that the building doesn\u2019t reside within that loop around Haber Green, which hides it in the background. Maybe the hill leading up to it has simply deterred too many people because \u201cit\u2019s just not worth it.\u201d Maybe the orientation tours just don’t come up that far. Who really knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point is, Arcadia students don\u2019t know anything about Murphy Hall. So, what we decided to do was play a little game of two truths and one lie with people around campus. We worked together to compile a list of obscure facts about the building by talking to various faculty members and doing some research on Murphy\u2019s history. We then paired these truths together with some believable lies that we hoped sounded more true than the facts we found. When it finally came time for Luke Fournier, Maxwell Henry, and Alex Kang to go out and do some lying, we received some interesting results. Check it out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
