The history of the Four Crossed Logs


This brick pattern on the back patio of the Holley Academic Center originates from the Seminole tradition of searching for a better place for the community to live. Once scouts found a suitable place, they would leave a marked trail of four crossed logs, which would lead the rest of the tribe. The pattern notes the responsibility of each member of the academic community to make a path to a new place and to bring others along.
