of the gems of the university that make it unique (its
“signature”) [4B] Related goal: To capture a sense of
the university as a place, esp. the campus as an
alma mater, a second home: HRC, the tower, totem
animals, Dobie walk, etc.
[4B1] To invoke the personal presences (ghosts,
genius loci) embodied in campus places, such as, in Waller
Creek, the ghosts of Joe Jones, Frank Dobie, and the
students of 1969 and others; and all the ghosts inhabiting
the Harry Ransom Center; i.e. to give some sense of the
social as well as environmental history of this campus,
and comparable genius loci embodied in the social and
environmental history of other colleges.
