You can now own a piece of the building that has schooled the last century of Illini. Bring home a slate tile from Lincoln Hall’s roof—and your donation will support student scholarships!
Tile Engraved with Column I:
$50 donation
($20 goes to student scholarships and $30 covers the cost of engraving)
Plain Tile
$10 donation
(100% goes to student scholarships)
Of course it’s a nostalgic souvenir, but what else can you do with an old slate tile?
- Welcome sign
- Stepping stones along your garden
- Chalkboard for your home or office
- Trivet for your kitchen or patio
- Serving platter (i.e., for artisan cheeses)
Or you can get crafty and embellish them:
- Attach a photo and make it a frame
- Add legs and make it a plant stand
- Create a fireplace hearth
- Combine several tiles for a table surface
Only 80 tiles are left; you must pay by cash or check and pick them up in person. Engraved tiles must be ordered and paid for in advance (may take up to 3 weeks). Tiles are roughly 11" x 15" and ¼-inch thick.
Purchase your tiles during regular business hours:
