Yellow or green? The Faculty Club controversy
Original color
of Collier House
sparks debate

What was the original color of
the University Faculty Club?
According to most of the
photos in the University ar
chivist’s office, the faculty club
used to be black and white, but
that evidence has not quieted a
minor furor on campus — what
color should the faculty club be
repainted?
The Faculty Club’s exterior
may be repainted sometime this
year, and the Faculty Club's
outgoing president. Bean Com
rade, said club members and
staff would like it to be in the
original colors.
But this presents a problem
because no one knows what that
color was.
‘‘A whole number of people
volunteered to do the detective
work (to determine the original
color),” Comrada said.
The Physical Plant, after tak
ing some paint samplings from
the building last spring, decid
ed the original color was
yellow.
But a University architecture
student used the controversy as
a basis for his master's thesis
and determined that the color
had more of a green cast to it.
University Planner David
Rowe, who was involved in the
yellow paint decision, said
more extensive testing had pro
ven the greenish-color theory.

Despite repeated tests and a master's thesis on the subject, the original color of the University faculty dub remains a
mvaterv
But he said the color didn't
really matter.
“It'd be nice to get the color
as close as possible, but some
other things are probably more
important," Rowe said.
He said funding for the re
painting project is still up in the
air, and the building also has
some problems with dry rot that
need to bo fixed before the
building is painted.
Collier House, constructed by
physics Professor George Col
lier in 1886. is the second
oldest building on campus. It
turned 100 years old last spring
term.
The University bought the
house from the Collier family in
18H5. At that time, the only
other buildings on campus were
Deady and Villard halls.
The house served as home to
a succession of University
presidents and chancellors.
I^ter, a chancellor's house
was donated to the University,
and the Faculty Club began ren
tiiiK the Collier House from the
University.
An interior restoration of the
building was completed about
one year ago in preparation for
the 100th birthday celebration
in the house.
