I spent part of Saturday taking shots around the campus...




I spent the Saturday afternoon wandering the campus and the James Turrell exhibit at the Pomona Gallery and taking pics of the campus.  James Turrell is also redesigning our courtyard at Harper Hall.  I'll post some of his works later.  Very cool stuff.

President Ronald Reagan Library-Oval Office


This is the layout and furniture from the Oval Office while Pres. Reagan was in office.  If you recognize the desk it's because it is the same one with the famous picture of John Jr. Kennedy crawling through with his father in the background.  Note: the middle panel was added to hide Franklin D. Roosevelt's wheelchair.  The desk was made of timbers from the H.M.S. Resolute, an abandoned British ship discovered by an American vessel and returned to the Queen of England as a toke of friendship.  Queen Victoria commissioned the desk out of the retired timbers and presented it to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880.
