These photos are from varied sites around campus. Yes, they were
all taken personally by me, so their copyright does belong to me.
You can also see photos of back campus,
and of Lynchburg.
This is Main Hall, our oldest building on campus. To this day,
it contains both administrative offices and student dorm rooms.
Isn't it wonderful to know that you're sleeping a floor or so above
the college President's office? There are also computer labs in
Main, and the student center. The tower bell, named Conway, rings
at traditional occasions during the year, such as Exams and Ring
Night.

This is the brickway that runs in front of Main Hall.
|
These are the front steps to the east "curlies". The curlies
are two sets of spiral staircases on the west and east of Main Hall.
I picked this view because the limbs of the tree in front are
beautiful and remind me of bones in a Georgia O'Keefe painting.
|
This is the Poetry tree in full bloom. Standing in front of
the west curlies, the tree is traditionally decorated every spring
by students who tie poems to its weeping branches.
|
This is Presser, the music building and the home to the college
Communications Office, where I work and spend the rest of my
time.
|
This is the tree in front of Presser, which looks pretty in
the fall.
|
The Summer House, or "Gazebo" is a great place to relax on
front campus.
|
The Botanic Garden is located between Martin Science Building
and the Library, on the east side of campus. I do not yet have a
photo of it, so right now you can see the west side of Main Hall,
which is such a bad shot that you can only see the trees, and you
can't even see the Poetry Tree (not blooming) behind all the big
trees!
|
The reassuring glow of several streetlamps on campus gives us
students beauty and security in the night--not to mention our
wonderful campus security officers. Cecil and "Big" Diane are
my favorites.
|
Though somewhat hard to see, this is one of the innumerable
squirrels on our campus whose tails are stripped off of fur. I
originally thought this was a weird "rat-tail" mutation, until
someone told me that the squirrels were probably having their tails
snatched at by cats. I swear it is not a mouse!
|
This is the college sundial, located in front of West Hall and
Thoresen Hall (not to be confused with Thoresen Theatre, in the
Leggett Building). It is dedicated to Mary Charles Conlee, class
of 1970, and the circled figure is my clumsily too-dark image of
a bird in profile. The inscription reads "Time like life can never
be recalled." [You may also see an
uncircled version of the
picture.]

In a recent winter, someone decided to decorate the Sundial
with a snow family.
