In November 1941, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus was performing in Atlanta. Eighteen circus elephants were poisoned by what was later determined to be arsenic. When nine of the beasts died, an enterprising professor in the Oglethorpe medical school had one of the elephants hauled to campus and deposited behind Lowry Hall (now Weltner Library) for use in his comparative anatomy class. As the animal began to decay, a hole was dug next to the body, where the elephant was then rolled into and buried.
