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 16^th 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.

As the falls sports begin their season, you cannot help but notice the green, thick grass growing on Peyton Field. Football and soccer get the chance to play some of their games on this first-rate turf this fall. It would be hard to imagine this field being any less than it is, but there was a time when Peyton Field was just layers of “too-fine sand, silt and clay,” hardly a place to compete. It was back in 1964 that the University of Puget Sound decided to call in an expert to fix the problem. Dr. Ray Goss had all of the old grass torn up. An irrigation system was installed and new sod was rolled out. Fifty-one years later, Peyton Field is still growing strong.

The Archives & Special Collections is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. or by appointment.

“For me alone Don Quixote was born and I for him. His was the power of action, mine of writing.”

It is the 400^th anniversary of the second part of Don Quixote, fully titled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. This Spanish novel was written by Miguel de Cervantes Saaverdra in 1615. The story follows the adventures of Don Quixote through Spain on his quest to undo wrongs and make the world a just place. Come by the Archives & Special Collections to celebrate the history of this powerful and influential book. While reading, check out the beautiful illustrations that appear throughout.
