In response to the ever-increasing cost of on-campus construction, some bright, energetic Wabash men have discovered a relatively low cost method of "growing" building materials.  In the photo you see a 4" by 4" growing out of a recycled paint bucket.  The 4" by 4" lumber is growing so fast it need supports.

This experiment may be a little behind the times though, as most campus construction uses a steel infrastructure.

Oh well...

Tomorrow, the rest of the story...
