From Campus Journal:
In 1949 the cornerstone of UNH’s Kingsbury Hall was laid into the ground and one year later the facility opened its doors to engineering students. But before this occurred, the late professor of arts John Hatch painted a mural on the back wall of the Kingsbury Hall Library–a mural that spoke of the newly discovered atomic energy as either a key to the future, or the downfall of humanity. His warning is far from outdated, and as the university continues onward in the 21st century with an up-to-date Kingsbury Hall for engineering and science students to study, learn, and invent in, the “Atomic Age” mural will be coming too, in a new location, and with a few touch-ups.
