As East Texas Baptist University celebrated its annual Founder's Day celebration on Saturday, the University also offered up several items from a recently discovered 100-year-old time capsule in the Marshall Hall building's cornerstone.

The cornerstone capsule contained several items dating from 1916 when the University's Marshall Hall building was constructed.
