<< That makes a lot more sense now.  I had never seen that kind of crossing
of wires of the college for the seminary, to be honest.  I was assuming
that they had tracked back along the northern fencelines of the College
over to the Seminary, then into town via the Chambersburg corridor.  >>

There's also an account from Osborn. 11th Corps artillery brigade commander, 
which unfortunately I don't have ready to hand, which also refers to the 
Seminary when it's clear from context he was referring to the college. 
Really a reasonable enough mistake to make, under the circumstances, for 
people who didn't have any prior knowledge of which instiution was which.
