The Story

The student newspaper preserves two campus legends: Pennsylvania Hall's elevator supposedly opens onto a wartime hospital scene, while Stevens Hall's Blue Boy peers through windows. In the latter story, students hide a child on a freezing window ledge and later find him gone. The newspaper explicitly treats his fate as legend.
