Campus architecture database

The Historic Campus Architecture Project of the Council of Independent Colleges includes an excellent database with information on:

  • society halls, such as the fabulous 1850s gothic Diagnothian and Goethean Halls at Franklin & Marshall;
  • the better-known Eumenean and Philanthropic at Davidson (with Princeton’s Whig and Clio in this category if Princeton were in the CIC);
  • the cold war bunker now used by Amherst as a book depository;
  • Middlebury’s Snow Bowl, which combines in one place the functions that emerged at the same times at Dartmouth, such as the late-1930s base lodge (Moosilauke) and the late-1950s ski area with lodge (the Skiway);
  • Sewanee’s campus, which lies within its Domain of 10,000 acres and is a bit like putting Dartmouth’s campus in the Grant; and
  • Hastings College, which has a casting of Lundeen’s seated Frost, as Dartmouth does.
