I spent this past Saturday as one of two photographers covering activities during Alumni weekend at Saint Francis. I spent some of my time shooting for myself and that is why you will notice that this blog is about photography and less about the alumni.

The Bell Tower houses the original bell from Old Main, which burned in 1942.
Sullivan Hall currently houses the School of Sciences. The newest building on campus will become the new home of the School of Sciences when it is completed in 2013.

Inside each of these goblets is another container that holds a wick and oil which are burned on special occasions.
So far we've been able to identify this as a portrait of Baldassarre, a monk. It is attributed to Perugino and was created around 1498. The original is in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy.
The original home of Charles Schwab is now named Bonaventure Hall.
