SHEER VERTICALITY SYMBOLIZING THE IDEAL OF THE UNIVERSITY, EVER TO REACH UPWARD TO A LOFTIER SPHERE, THESE TWIN SENTINELS CHALLENGE THOSE WHO APPROACH THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PORTALS OF THE CAMPUS, SHEER VERTICALITY OF A GLEAMING LIMESTONE SHAFT, CUT OCTAGONAL AND HEWN IN THE MOD- ERN MOLD, ANNOUNCES THAT BEYOND THIS LANDMARK THE SPIRIT OF MOD- ERNITY RESIDES. THE ALUMNI MEMORIAL PYLON BETOKENS A ZEAL OF SCHOL- ARSHIP THAT IS ETERNALLY ALERT FOR WHAT IS BEST IN THE NEW. )UST AS THE OBELISK ON THE NORTHERN END OF THE CAMPUS MAY BE REGARDED AS EMBLEMATIC OF WHAT THE LEARNING OF TODAY GRANTS AND THAT OF TOMOR- ROW PROMISES, SO THE TOWERING CAMPANILE OF MUDD MEMORIAL HALL OF PHILOSOPHY, MOLDED IN THE FLORENTINE GRACE OF THE ROMANESQUE, EM- BODIES THE SPIRIT OF WHAT IS NOBLEST IN THE LORE OF THE PAST. COMPLE- MENTARY TO EACH OTHER, THE TWO SPAN THE DIAPASON FROM THE WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS TO THE MARVELS OF MODERN SCIENCE, FROM ARISTOTLE TO EINSTEIN, IN THE SCALE OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE.
