A few views of Stanfordius

There's nothing better than going for a walk on a warm, lazy Sunday afternoon. Yesterday I realized that after living on Stanford's campus for almost two months, I've only walked through the main part of campus once. So I grabbed my camera to experience the campus a little more. Here are some of the pictures I got. Here's a view of the Memorial Hall with the bell tower in the back. I'm not sure what all the vases are for in front of the hall, but I like them.

This is the courtyard in Memorial Hall.
Jane Stanford built this church in memory of her husband. For more information about him you can ask Alex Olson! He has newly become an expert on the subject due to his 4th grade project. The actual university is named after their son Leland Stanford Jr. Anyway I learned from Stanford's website that the church's facade has over 20,000 shades of color, and since 1903 about 7,500 couples have been married in it! There were two couples having their pictures taken around the quad while I was there. While I was walking around the sun decided to come out, and its brightness gave the church a great silouette.

Every graduating class at Stanford has their own tile put around the quad. You can see in the picture how the tiles just go on and on... I wonder what they'll do if they run out of space. I hope you enjoyed your short tour of campus with me. Tune in next time for more fun pictures.
