Sprau Tower

A Walk Around Western Michigan University

Kalamazoo, Michigan.

I attended classes at Western, off an on, for several years. though I returned to Macalester College to complete my BA. On the whole it was a good experience.

Four decades later, the campus has changed. Of course.

Waldo Library

Waldo used to be a big green box.... Visited the WMU campus today intending to get a photo of this building. But not this photo. I rather like this view, though.

By Carol Harrison, in front of the Dalton Center (the fine arts building) at Western Michigan University. This was the only sculpture I saw yesterday I'd seen before, as it's been a campus fixture for decades.

Sculpture

On the Campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. I can find neither the name nor the artist, but it's quite a striking work--and a remarkable piece of engineering.

Wonder Wood

By Charlie Brouwer, on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. This is a delightful work; photographs really cannot do it justice.

The Professor

By Dennis Smith, in front of the Chemistry Building at Western Michigan University. My favorite of the sculptures I encountered in my little walk around the campus. Much to my surprise, several students went out of their way to avoid interfering while I was setting up this photo. I've grown quite accustomed to folks just walking through my frame....
