Barnard College - Mortarboard Yearbook (New York, NY)

Of course it is the campus that gets mos our attention; the Barnard buildings strung out on one easily memorized row, and the clumps of Columbia buildings which remind so many freshmen of a treacherous labyrinth. By the end of our four years the only treacherous aspect that remains are those beautiful herringbone brick walkways which provide as much friction when it rains as an ice skating rink. There really is so much that is imposing and outstanding on both the campuses. The red brick of most of the academic buildings is wonderfully rich, with real Old World elegance.

St. Pauls Chapel nestled among a cluster of campus buildings. Alma Mater sets a good example by actually reading while sitting on the Low steps The statue of Alma Mater presides over activities in front of Butler salmon pink in bright daylight. Notice the coke bottle behind her? An Past architects have left us with a Beaux-Arts library which looks like a Greek temple, while recent ar- chitects have given us a pre-fabricated biology building and an underground Fine Arts Library. Time has shaped much of our present use of the campus, con- verting the Low Library steps into an area for loung- ing, and robbing us of several tennis courts, only tc replace them with the all-purpose Mcintosh. So ofteri enclosed within the confines of the University, small daily confrontations with it have a huge impact on us. 24 COLORFUL REFLECTIONS
