The Tabor College campus will soon be illuminated by street lights donated to the college by the city council. The 10 granite posts were formerly used along the main street of Hillsboro but were recently replaced by the new lighting system. The senior class is taking the responsibility of digging the holes and trenches, setting the light poles, and furnishing the underground cable. The lights will be placed in front of the administration building and music hall.
