A trip to a local thrift shop unearthed this poster from 1972, which shows that the Hanneford Circus appeared on campus on March 26. We have not been able to confirm whether there were live elephants in Ben Light Gymnasium, but as of this year there will no longer be elephants performing in any circus shows in New York, thanks to a law signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo, which prohibits them from being used for entertainment.
