A Panoramic Shot of the Back Side of the Formal Opening, October 1912

This Schlueter photograph was hanging on the wall of a colleague’s office, unnoticed by me for a period of years:

You have to zoom in on it to see how remarkable it really is. (It’s big so it might take a minute.) The cars alone transfixed me for quite some time, then I saw the kids on bicycles at the Sallyport and only later noticed that the academic procession is going on off to the left. To the right, though, work goes on. They didn’t stop even for this grand event. That’s what you call focus.
