WE ARE HEIRS TO A The thrilling sight of lofty towers, majestic lines and imposing grandeur is readily had from every conceivable angle at Boston College. Among the more breathtaking views of the college is the one which may be obtained from the Lawrence Reservoir which rests at the foot of Boston College and is so often the mirror of Gothic beauty. Boston College and its environs are familiarly, almost intuitively, known as Universit ' Heights by all who have been privileged to bear witness to the architectural gems, the immense vistas, and dramatic elevations with which our Alma Mater has been endowed by men and nature. Sites of the beauty and majesty of Boston College present a problem of grave importance to those whose task it was, and ever is, to build wisely, inspiringly, triumphantly upon the superb property which God and the community had committed to their care in December of 1907. As the potentialities of the locale became increasingly clear to them, the designers of the new Boston College were faced with a difficulty which they gloriously solved by gracing and blessing Chestnut Hill with the enduring heritage of a Gothic crown. By the spring of 1913, the initial stroke of genius was finally translated into the noble Tower Building which focuses the attention of all who approach upon the Christian philosophy and educational purposes of Boston College.
