"People, not structures, make a great university. However, great structures inspire and enable great things to happen in a university. A commitment to 'noble architecture' makes a clear statement about the academic excellence to which the university continually aspires. The university's entry into the twenty-?rst century is marked by the coming to fruition of a number of exciting new buildings that inspire and serve us."--from the introduction by Willard L. Boyd, professor of law and president emeritus Excerpted from The University of Iowa Guide to Campus Architecture, Second Edition by John Beldon Scott, Rodney P.
