You’re in American History and your professor asks a question. 话还没说完, 你举起手来, 确信自己掌握了相关信息. 等一下, you realize your grave mistake; instead of the expected an inquiry on the civil war, 她问了一个关于bwin体育历史的问题. 你希望你能把手放下来，但是已经太迟了. 她叫你的名字，永远结束你的尴尬. 但不要再受辱了! Here are five fun facts of Geneva’s history that may even stump your teacher:
“One, two, three; Golden Tornadoes!” This is the cry that rings from every sports team across campus. 但是“黄金龙卷风”这个名字是从哪里来的呢? 自1881年建成以来, Old Main stood peaceful and majestically on the slopes of Geneva’s campus. 不幸的是, 33年后, the building’s peaceful demeanor was changed in an instant to a weather beaten catastrophe. In 1914, 龙卷风席卷了校园, ripping off Old Main’s golden-shingled roof and giving origin to the name “Golden Tornadoes” in Geneva’s history. Little did anyone know that a small catastrophe could lead to such a large legacy for future generations.

The first Science Hall, built in 1897 by Johnston, was burned to the ground in 1912. 在剩下的地基上, the building was reconstructed and later expanded to become the current Science and 工程 building with its twisting pathways, 无尽的楼梯, 还有无数的出入口. Fortunately, these entrances and exits are the perfect escape for any future fire emergencies.
这是1892年一个寒冷的下雪天. Football season is over, but the men’s athletic drives still surge high. Little did they know that a year earlier James Naismith invented a game perfect for those dreary winter months – basketball. In February of 1892, the first college basketball game was played intramurally by Geneva students. 一年后, 4月8日, 1893, Geneva played its first official game of college basketball against the New Brighton YMCA, 赢得3 - 0. 现在, the game is played nationwide, but its origins are not forgotten.
