Ivy League School Trip

Today, I went on a trip to a school that's a member of the Ivy League. Which one? Guess :D
(Hint: The Ivy League consists of 8 schools which are Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, U. Penn, Cornell, and Brown.)
Fine, I'll tell you, it's Columbia.
I took pictures :D Yay! And I took notes.

 Columbia University~

 

One thing you should know is that the animal is the lion.

 This path is called College Walk.

 This is the newer library.

 The Library of Columbia University has this Alma Mater statue. "Alma Mater" means nourishing mother.

 If you look closely in the statue, you'll see a owl.

 This is what's before the statue.

  This use to be the library. It is now a place with offices. This place is called Butler Hall (with a library called Butler Library) This place is named after Nicholas Butler, the person who created the SAT. He also won the Nobel Peace Prize.

 This is the mathematics place.

 The computer center...

 Marcellus Hartley Dodge Physical Fitness Center: The entrance to the underground gym :D It's like, 4 floors down.

 Uris Hall = Business place...

 Guess what this is! :D :D :D

It's a dollar sign.

 Wallach Art Gallery

My trip group went in but we didn't see any art cause it was apparently closed. (It's wasn't suppose to be.)

 This is St Paul's Chapel. There is no particular religion and it's a place for weddings and such. The door has words engraved above it. The words say something like this, " LVMINE TVO VIDEBIMVS LVMEN" (I have no clue what that means or even if I got the words right XD)

 This is Buell Hall. It is one of the oldest buildings. You can learn more than 20 languages here. An interesting fact about this place is that it use to be an insane asylum.

 You can't really see it in this picture (sorry for bad pictures) but you can see a statue of The Thinker.

This is just a funny picture XD

If you can't see why, it's because the sign says "Restrooms" with an arrow pointing to the bench. Therefore... *cue laughter* Do you get it now?

I wanted to post this on Ellen's website for "What's Wrong With This Photo?"

Unfortunately, you have to be 18 years or older D:

Residential halls... this is where people lived. The 2nd building you see in the 1st picture (focused onto the 2nd building in the 2nd picture) is called Hamilton Building. Alexander Hamilton went to Columbia University but dropped out because he went to help out in the American Revolutionary War.

 The round looking thing you see is actually a sun dial. It's a sun dial with zodiac signs. The interesting part about this sun dial is that it only shows one time and that is 12 o' clock. It also has the words "Horam Expecta Veniet" which means "Await the hour, it will come."

 This is Alfred Lerner Hall. It is the modern building in the college.

 One more picture~ Um you can't see anything in this picture that clearly (or nothing at all.) I took this picture because the subway had a "No Entry" sign and I was like, "Then why is it open (meaning no tape thingy saying "DO NOT CROSS" or something) and why not?" They probably had gates closing it but I didn't get a chance to see.

Ah~ I spent a hour or so trying to post these pictures. I took 79 in all but I only let you see 25 of them. Oh well~

I'll post the map tomorrow I suppose. Bye now~

Question of the post: Have you ever been to a college campus?
