Thanks Christine, Alan, Frank & Dan... ... and Paul,
Chicago is my and my husband's alma mater, too! There are several new buildings since our day -- the Ratner Gymnasium, the Mansueto Library, the Max Palevsky dormitory just north of the Regenstein Library/south of the Field House, the Logan Arts Center along the Midway (the views!), and another dorm called "South Campus" (awaiting a name/big donation, I presume), which is on 61st, behind Burton-Judson dorm... Plus, the old Bartlett Gymnasium has been converted into a dining hall! It is interesting to see the University pushing farther south... I lived 2 years at B-J, and we never even went into the back yard of that building -- that was the campus perimeter, and beyond that, the dangerous wilds of the South Side. ;) Despite all the new construction, everything is very familiar, the kids all look the same, even. I'll have to look & see what other campus photos I have from the weekend... BTW, ever read "Devil in the White City"? Tells the true story of a serial killer who used the 1893 World's Fair to lure his victims... :) -c On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 at 10:13 AM, Paul Stenquist <[email protected]> wrote: > Excellent pics.
