"Ol John's" shoe shine parlor

Description
  • John Finley Hines ("Ol John") began shining shoes in the Memorial Union in 1930, within a year after the Memorial Union opened. His parlor, one of the "friendliest places on the campus", was a campus attraction because of John's extensive display of photographs of students, athletic teams, events, and campus scenes.
