What makes a university great? Its faculty? Its students? Its curriculum? All three to be sure. But also its architecture. Great buildings inspire. They transform how we think, how we see, how we learn—how we act. In this illustrated talk, painter and author Adam Van Doren will use images of his watercolor paintings from his most recent book, The Stones of Yale, to explore the rich architecture of one of our country’s most distinguished places of higher learning.
