Right up there with Harvard, Yale, and Virginia. Not a bad notice.

Could've gotten a better overhead picture, but still cool nonetheless.

I stepped on the seal my first day freshmen year, and I graduated. BOO YAH

Shouldn't this thread be in "Around the Hilltop"?

Anyway, the pic they used was from when they were renovating the roof of Dallas Hall a few years ago.

Here's another view - an even older shot, so to speak...

Yes, this belongs in "Around the Hilltop," but thanks for posting here. I almost never look at AtH.

As for Harvard, iconic I will give you, but beautiful, not so much. Grass just doesn't do well when it meets New England weather and a student body that doesn't know what "Stay Off" means.

Yale's courtyards are nice because most of them are enclosed. Of course, they are enclosed (you need a key to get inside) because there is an enormous crime problem in New Haven. When my sister was there, they had a running gun battle in the middle of campus.
