The Student Center, reflected by the chapel.

The Dayton Campus Center on the left, Kirk Hall (a dorm) in the center, and the Dewitt Wallace Library beyond the students in the sunlight. Old Main is mostly hiding behind the trees. Dewitt Wallace grew up on this campus, then founded Readers Digest, which made him rich. Wallace money was crucial to the school's development in the fifties and sixties. We sixties and seventies students were painfully (yes, painfully) aware of that. My impression is that current students mostly think of Wallace as the guy whose name's on the library. Things change. James Wallace, Dewitt's father, was the college president for a decade or so, and a professor for several decades. One of the dorms is named after him. And the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center is named for Dewitt's mother.

Spent a couple nights in the Twin Cities in April. Here's the view from my room at The Marquette. When I was a college senior, IDS Tower was the tallest building between the Mississippi and the west coast. Or something like that. These days 'tain't even clear that it's the tallest building in Minneapolis. It's still quite impressive, nonetheless.

I just spent a couple days at my alma mater , Macalester College in Saint Paul. I've known the campus for over fifty years; this photo could have been taken in any of those springs. 115/365
