O UR Many members of our graduating class have been heard to bemoan the fact that they had never been privileged to enjoy the benefits of a true university campus. How mistaken they were! Although most of us have been oblivious to the fact for many years, Washington Square College does have a campus,-a campus which, for beauty, artistry, and inspiration, does not have its equal anywhere else in the world. For the benefit of those who have graduated without having had the opportunity of visiting their campus, and to awaken fond reminiscences among those who have taken advantage of their privilege, we have compiled a collection of some of the many interesting landmarks of this campus, Greenwich Village.
