Campus Old Main . . . history of a campus inscribed in weathered masonry. Old Main has become synonymous with Denver Uni- versity. lt has observed the growth of a school in its students and in its administration. Officially named Uni- versity Hall, this campus landmark houses both classrooms and adminis- trative offices-the office of admis- sions and records, the dean of stu- dents, counseling. ln Old Main the machinery of a campus keeps the wheels of its history in motion. The history is one of the present, pointed toward the future. Quan-as-su-1 illiafi E. Carnegie Hall . . . a beginning and an ending framed in stone. Carnegie Hall en- compasses many segments of Denver University. Here the freshman at- tends his first lecture in the largest of University Park's lecture halls, here the senior takes a final semi- nar. Once the university library, la- ter the student union, Carnegie has witnessed all phases of Pioneer pan- orama. Still retaining an importance in campus life, it houses the Air Force ROTC and the office of employment placements and admissions coun- seling. From its files the first infor- mation about the University is sent to prospective students. ln its rec- ords the questions of graduating sen- iors find an answer. K is 'l 113, ' .PJ V',, ,

Chapel a .' 3 , 5, b . . . laughter captured in red brick and plate glass. Center of campus life, the Student Union reflects the emotions of the university. Here students gather at all hours for coffee and bridge, committee meetings, cakes and small talk. In its cafe- teria meals and snacks are served while the bakery, campus shop, barber shop and game room offer a variety of services to stu- dents. Upstairs the lounge becomes an auditorium for lectures exhibits and shows, and a ballroom for dances. ln the Union I I rhythm from a jukebox and the clatter of dishes form a back- ground for life at DU, here friendship finds a companion, laugh- ter, a quick response. . . . modern faiths molded in mis- sion architecture. Buchtel Chapel encompasses the soul of the cam- pus. Under its Byzantine towers, a world of races meet in a com- mon search. In its sanctuary many faiths become one. lnterdenomi- national services are held each Sunday and Wednesday during the year. ln this church away from home, the office of the chaplain provides a working ground for members of religious groups, here counsel is offered to offset doubt and skepticism. Buchtel Chapel brings out of faith, fellowship, out of confusion, confidence. Student Union me. . ff , ,
