Riddle 6
I was born before many of my peers, with mighty columns tall,

- Ask them their favorite and least favorite thing about math.
- Teach them to solve this math problem: find the derivative of the function: (f(x)=3x^{2}+4x-1)
- Take a picture with them upload it to padlet.
Hint
Look for the oldest academic bell, a Greek façade with wings wide spread,
Once a hospital in conflict’s hour, now where chancellors tread.
Hint
The Science Center has many wings, but mine is where you solve;
Named for Alfred Hume- ’neath lecture lights, is where the math evolves.
Hint
English, history, modern tongues,
Philosophy where thought is sung.
Look for stained glass, colors aglow,
The Liberal Arts’ home you’ll know.

Hint
Thirty-six bells in harmony chime,
Marking the hours in measured time.
Look for the tower where voices soar,
A chapel of welcome forevermore.
Hint
You’ll find me in red bricks, not labs, but language, politics, culture in my tabs.
“Study abroad” is part of my deal; international by zeal.
