In the winter of 1953, a sparrow flew into the second floor of Terrell Hall. The sparrow, named T.P.2, died the next day at noon “after a brief and sudden illness,” according to The Colonnade article. Services were held that afternoon with scriptures and prayers. T.P.2 was buried in a casket lined with tissue paper at “Front Campus Cemetery” in a grave dug with a cake knife.
