Walking around on campus for the game and I walked by the military science building and noticed the 2 cannons are stripped from their bases. Anyone know what the deal is?

I hope they are out being refinished or something and not permanently removed.

They were a gift from General Sherman so that should cover any PC issues.

And they have great historic value. Hopefully they're going to be back where they belong.
