		How many of us look down as we walk across campus, or direct our gaze purposely to where we are to be, what we need to do?
How many times can we enter a building and still not be aware of the lights on each side of the doors? The Doric columns? The metal filigree in the entryway? The arched doorway with the ornamental terra cotta detailing? Good questions. The three people working on this story had a total combined time on-campus of more than twenty years, but we either had never seen many of these classic details, ornamental friezes, bas reliefs and other architectural delights, or our memories failed us. Can you remember the buildings where these details and structural elements are found? See how many you can guess and then check the answers at the bottom. Photos by Todd Goodrich
