 | | ROBERT ANDERSON/Daily Review Atlas Jeff Rankin, director of communications at Monmouth College, and also the unofficial college historian, stands beside a Civil War era field cannon - technically an artillery rifle - donated to the college by the class of 1903 to be placed on the campus as its memorial. |
 | | The gun's disappearance remained a bit of a mystery until 1929, during the 25th reunion of the Monmouth College Class of 1904, when one of the perpetrators told the story of what had happened, and gave some clues. |
 | | Barnes, whom Rankin called "the ringleader," was a 1904 graduate of the college, and had gone on to own several newspapers over the years, including this one, which he purchased in 1923. |
