Perhaps these 1908 SAIC students were celebrating the original Friendsgiving? Wishing everyone a happy #Thanksgiving full of friends and family! We are thankful for the creative and innovative #SAIC community. #tbt #saic150

#TBT to the early 1900s. Chicago Savings Bank Building sat at the world's busiest intersection, the zero-zero mark in Chicago. Now called Jones Hall, this Chicago landmark houses over 170 SAIC students. #SAIC150
