What students didn’t know when they entered Allen Arena for the normal Tuesday morning chapel is that they would take a few steps back in time to 1891 — the year David Lipscomb and James A. Harding founded Lipscomb University. David Lipscomb, portrayed by Henry “Chip” Arnold, was welcomed on stage by Lipscomb President Randy Lowry on Tuesday, Oct. 6 for Founders Day. Musical guests Daves Highway and The Calling performed. Lipscomb students were dismissed from all noon and 1:20 classes for Fair in the Square, a carnival-themed lunch that took place in Bison Square. Carnival games and food were offered as The Arcadian Wild provided music for the packed square.
