Installers find surprise under chapel carpet

In the process of installing new carpeting in January 2016, workers uncovered an old patterned image on the floor of St. John’s Chapel. Though some speculated on its origin, no one at Newman University could positively identify the image or determine when it was created. The new carpet, paid for by a Student Government Association gift and St. John’s Chapel funds, was installed over the image.
