My friend, Glenice, and I roamed the Iowa State University campus in Ames and enjoyed the beautiful creations and reminisced about our days as students there a few years ago. The campus has over 400 sculptures and works of art on display. Here are a few of our favorites plus views of the beautiful campus:
 |
| Newly Renovated Curtis Hall, home of my first Sociology Courses in 1962-63. |
 |
| The Campanile |
 |
| Looking over Central Campus to Beardshire Hall, home of the administration building and napping during late afternoon Philosophy Class on the third floor during Spring quarter while listening to bands playing at the Memorial Union (no air conditioning so windows were wide open). |
 |
| "Panther with Deer," 1920 by Christian Petersen, Danish-American, 1885-1961 |
 |
| "The Panther" with Glenice |
 |
| The renovated 1890 Morrill Hall with sculpture |
