You are here. This is a moderate-sized archway built from limestone mined from a nearby quarry. Visually, it frames a fountain that fronts the white facade of a building which is in turn capped by a clocktower and framed by the trees and brown brick building fronts that line the Great Mall. You stop a few minutes to ponder their meaning. You walk toward the South Mall.
Majestic elms line either side of the mall.
Their boughs, curving toward the center, form a cool green canopy for strollers below. Two park benches provide a comfortable place to rest. To the east, through the trees, you see the Conference Center and to the west the Administration Building. Bovine Library and other buildings lie to the north, beyond a fountain. You walk north.
