The University of Alabama
By:Robert O. Mellown
Published on 1988 by University Alabama Press
Welcome to Tuscaloosa and the campus of the state’s oldest university! This pocket-sized guide offers four separate tours of the campus designed to acquaint the visitor with the architecture, history, and traditions of the University. Three tours are designated “walking tours” and identify structures and monuments located in or near the central campus. The fourth is an automobile tour that highlights the University’s growth over the last two decades as evidenced by the more modern buildings on the periphery of the campus. The reader will enjoy the unique blend of facts and legends associated with the Capstone and will delight in the details of such familiar landmarks as Woods Hall and Denny Chimes. However, the tours also include less well known buildings and monuments such as one of the South’s oldest observatories, a Tiffany memorial window honoring University cadets who served in the Civil War, and an engineering building with a simulated coal mine in the basement. The guide is also a serious study of the University’s buildings and discusses architects, dates of construction, and architectural styles as well as facts about the persons for whom the buildings were named. The information presented here results from a decade of research in the University’s extensive archives, and much of it is printed for the first time in this volume.
