The top of the marker will be Inscribed "University Club His- torical Marker, No. 13." The west faces will bear this legend: "These mounds mark the site of Dreristoric Indian bomes. They are believed to represent the re- mains of thatch-roofed circular adobe huts similar to those built by the Mandan Indians. Thou- sands of similar house mounds are widely scattered in groups throughout the Ozarks, but are being widely destroyed by agri- cultural agencies. Their builders antedated the Osages. Meager evidence indicates & non-warlike and. agricultural race, probably effaced alther by pestilence or by warlike enemy tribes. Erected by Drury college, October, 1927."
The east face of the marker will read: "100 feet east was the old St. Louis road which once ran diagonally through the Drury college campus from southwest to . northeast. The remains of the earthworks thrown up to fortify this road in the early days of the
Civil war can still be obscurely seen on the southwest corner of the campus."
