Kingston Life S ituated in the historic community of Kingston, the Kings- ton Campus of the University of Rhode Island captures all the splendor and excitement of New England. Just a few miles south and east are the beautiful coastline and beaches which have given Rhode Island its national reputation, and a few miles to the north and west exists the picturesque countryside that so many authors have espoused for generations. And here in the middle exists the university - free from the hassles of the big city, yet complete with all the modern conve- niences of contemporary American lifestyles. Class after class of students never forget the scenery around the campus. And the splendid nineteenth-century architecture provides a perfect set- ting for teaching the virtues of classic academia. Warm Spring mornings and snow-filled winter evenings leave memories that students carry with them for life. Hardly anyone forgets the first time they’ve seen the snow covering the quadran- gle. What a perfect place to pursue life’s true meanings. The new and the old: The Chaffee Social Science Center (far left) and Davis Hall (inset) are one of the newest and oldest buildings on campus. Green Hall ' s towering weathervane (left) can be seen from most points on campus. Students (above) have many places to study, or just hang around and relax. 5
