In the Spotlight

From the Archives

The From the Archives photo series returns with the start of the new school year. On alternating Mondays throughout the academic year, Purdue Today will feature a photo from Purdue Libraries Archives and Special Collections and give readers a chance to answer what's taking place in the image. The full story behind the photo will be revealed in the following Friday's issue.

To kick off a new year, we look at a beginning. Can you identify this Purdue location and tell us what — aside from crowds of students — is missing from the finished space? Visit the Purdue Libraries blog for a closer look and to share your theories in the comments.
