Fun stuff
✨
Although the outer ring is large enough for the names of the 4,000 enslaved people that worked on University grounds, only 578 of their full names are known.
✨
Another 311 are known by their first name only, their job, or their relation to others who lived and/or worked there.
✨
Most of the ring is blank, with only notches, representing the other 3,000+ for whom even this basic information is lacking.
