Foto Friday: One Of Those March Days

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” ― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

Foto Friday: Spring Blooms at Falvey

A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period –
When March is scarcely here

A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels.

 “A Light Exists in Spring” by Emily Dickinson

 

Everywhere you look around campus, the first signs of spring have taken root. Tree branches bud with leaves, and new flowers splash color at the edges of Falvey Library. So, drink in these long, warm, days, students!

Foto Friday: Caption This Wintery Scene!

By Shawn Proctor

 

Snow-covered statues near Mendel Hall, Falvey Library in the background.

Caption this wintery scene! Comment below.

After more than 700 days without snow (or a class cancellation for snow!), Villanova’s campus was blanketed in three inches of powder. The iconic bronze statues outside Mendel Hall, “Augustine the Teacher,” sculpted by Peggy Mach (1921-2013), took on its own snowy fashion statement. I wonder what they’re talking about here? Or how they feel about being outside on a frigid day? So, what’s your best fun caption to describe this scene?

Want to learn more about the sculpture displayed at Villanova? Falvey’s Digital Library has a sculpture collection with photos, details about the artwork, and the map coordinates to find them.
