Welcome back Loggers! I hope you’re all enjoying your return back to campus, with all of its beautiful people and architecture!
Speaking of architecture… is that something you’re interested in? If so, come and visit the Archives & Special Collections! Here we have a fascinating reprinted book: De Architectura by the Roman architect Vitruvius himself. First published in the 16th century, the book was a treatise on architecture dedicated to Vitruvius’ patron, the emperor Caesar Augustus, as a guide for building projects. The work remains one of the most important sources of modern knowledge of Roman building methods, as well as the planning and design of structures. You may want to brush up on your Italian, but if architecture is your passion this is not an opportunity to pass up!
Architecture not your thing? Not a problem! This book also contains detailed human anatomy and proportions, perfect for you artists and pre-meds. Come check it out!
Archives & Special Collections is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1:00pm to 3:00pm or by appointment.
