ANNOUNCEMENTS


The glass rotunda of the Graduate Center take visitors back to a time when higher education drew heavily on the classical arts. Serving as the campus library from 1914 to 1969, the building is wonderfully appointed. Filled with beautiful paintings, marble steps, floor tiles and this stunning ceiling, the entrance also is classically influenced with its commanding Ionic columns. Many alumni can recite the names of the literary giants displayed on the outside of the building. Read about more campus curiosities in your edition of the Tower magazine or online at www.kutztown.edu/tower.
