Students can hang out in Raf’s Corner and learn about the professor’s colorful history at Transy. (On her shirt is a Rafinesque\u2019s big-eared bat, the school mascot<\/a>.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania University students and alumni have fond memories of the Rafskeller cafe, tucked away in the basement of the Mitchell Fine Arts Center like a secret eatery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that it’s moved to the Campus Center, the school doesn’t want to lose the Raf tradition. At the new entrance is Raf’s Corner, which has a sitting area and wall graphics featuring information about Constantine Samuel Rafinesque<\/a>, the eccentric 19th century professor the cafe is named after. (It also gets its name from the German word for basement restaurant: Ratskeller.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, the racing stripes in the design harken back to those leading students down the MFA steps to the old Rafskeller \u2014 they now take you through a timeline of the botany professor’s checkered career at Transy. And the sign marking the entrance to the new cafe is a fresh take on the old one, which was Raf<\/em>-fled off a few years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
