Some are created by the photographer, others by architecture and nature. All together they make the campus a series of shadows, light and dark. Structures lend a strange enchant- ment to the campus visitor. Many are not aware of the abstract beauty of the campus; others find it a constant source of excitement. The circles, vertical and horizontal lines and intricate designs combine in a myriad of architectural beauty to delight the eye and enchant the imagination.

Many of the older buildings have been replaced and will continue to be replaced by more modern structures. The as- similation of the various styles of architecture shown on the campus have shown the growth of the University in the past years.

The steeple atop the University Auditorium gives the student a hint as to the age of the well-known building. 20 kH
