“People, not structures, make a great university. However, great structures inspire and enable great things to happen in a university. A commitment to ‘noble architecture’ makes a clear statement about the academic excellence to which the university continually aspires. The university’s entry into the twenty-first century is marked by the coming to fruition of a number of exciting new buildings that inspire and serve us.”—from the introduction by Willard L. Boyd, professor of law and president emeritus
