The University Club of New York, a private club whose charter dates to 1865, actually dates to 1851 when a group of college friends, principally Yale alumni, who founded the club hoping to extend their collegial ties. Founded to celebrate the union of social duty and intellectual life, the Club states in its charter that the purpose of the organization shall be the "promotion of Literature and Art by establishing and maintaining a Library, Reading Room and Gallery of Art, and by such other means as shall be expedient and proper for such purposes."
The first meeting was held in the rooms of the Columbia College Law School, where Theodore Dwight, the Club's first president and a Hamilton College alumnus, was a professor. After several moves, the club took over an existing town house at 26th Street and Madison Avenue in 1883.
By the 1890s, with its membership limited by the size of its building to 1,500 resident members and 900 who lived elsewhere, the Club was looking for a larger space. It acquired the St. Luke's Hospital site and proceeded to seek an architecture firm. The firm of McKim, Mead and White, who were all members, got the commission to architect the $1 million building, which set the standard for urban social club buildings.
Erected in 1899 in an Italian Renaissance palazzo-style, lead architect, Charles McKim chose a col pink granite for the exterior--a vast contrast against the soft, rich marble used for similar McKim, Mead & White buildings like the Metropolitan Club. Gone, also, were the days of low-rise clubs. McKim, instead, opting to digsuise a six-story building organized around a three-story facade with arched openings. On the ground floor, the large central entry court is surrounded by giant green Connemara marble columns 25 feet high. Along the Fifth Avenue front runs a great red and gold lounging room, with windows starting at the floor.
The next level of high arched windows contains the club's great library, a long room with a vaulted ceiling. Organized into alcoves, the double-height book stacks have small balconies reached by tiny staircases, all underneath a sparkling series of ceiling paintings and embossed decorations by H. Siddons Mowbray. The highest main level holds the dining room, a vast wood paneled space with columns at each end and a coffered ceiling.
In addition to its many grand architectural features, the University Club hosts one of New York's great private art collections, with a particularly strong group of works by great American painters such as Gilbert Stuart and Childe Hassam, who featured the Club's facade in his work "Allies Day, May 1917".
The University Club was designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967.

The University of Aarhus, which dates from 1931, is a unique and coherent university campus with consistent architecture, homogenous use of yellow brickwork and adaptation to the landscape. The university has won renown and praise as an integrated complex which unites the best aspects of functionalism with solid Danish traditions in form and materials.
The competition for the university was won by the architects Kay Fisker, C. F. Møller og Povl Stegmann in 1931. Stegman left the partnership in 1937, Fisker in 1942 and C. F. Møller Architects has been in charge of the continued architectural development and building design of the university until today.
The University of Aarhus, with its extensive park in central Aarhus, includes teaching rooms, offices, libraries, workshops and student accommodation. The university has a distinct homogeneous building style and utilises the natural contours of the landscape. The campus has emerged around a distinct moraine gorge and the buildings for the departments and faculties are placed on the slopes, from the main buildings alongside the ring road to the center of the city at Nørreport. All throughout the campus, the buildings are variations of the same clear-cut prismatic volume with pitched roofs, oriented orthogonally to form individual architectural clusters sharing the same vocabulary. The way the buildings emerge from the landscape makes them seem to grow from it, rather than being superimposed on the site.
The original scheme for the campus park was made by the famous Danish landscape architect C. Th. Sørensen. Until the death of C. Th. Sørensens in 1979 the development of the park areas were conducted in a close cooperation between C. Th. Sørensen, C. F. Møller and the local park authorities. Since 1979 C. F. Møller Architects - in cooperation with the staff at the university - has continued the intentions of the original scheme for the park, and today the park is a beautiful, green area and an immense contribution to both the university and the city in general.
In 2001, C. F. Møller Architects prepared a new masterplan for the long and short term development of the university. Although the university has been extended continuously for more than 75 years, the original masterplan and design principles have been maintained, and have proven a simple yet versatile tool to create a timeless and coherent architectural expression adaptable to changing programs. Today, the university is officially recognized as a Danish national architectural treasure and is internationally renowned as an excellent example of early modern university campus planning.
Tulane University (New Orleans, LA). Took @ St. Charles Ave. with my Canon 40D + 35mm f/1.4 after I graduated from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. The EXIF is missing after HDR process (actually pseudo HDR - generated from single photo).
First lensbaby upload! I brought my camera to school today to grab some day time photos so after our lab I went out. It's was insanely cold, we were losing the light and Dave's battery died so not an easy day out. It was still great to get some field time with the lens.
Few things, lensbabies are incredibly hard to use! Full props to anyone (especially those with film) who has one. It's full manual on my camera and to adjust the aperture you have to add/remove the aperture ring so it's all about planning ahead. Focusing is all about trusting your eye and nothing else. I might try to find a way to disable the focus confirmation light because it hasn't got a CLUE what's happening.
I was out shooting today like it was Christmas day and I was eight, just having a good time. Terrifically fun, I can see why everyone is so glee about there lensbabies.
Be sure to check this big on black.

The university gave us a tour of the city, which consisted of one stop -- Nan Shi Da's (南京师范大学) new campus. The rest of the time we were in a bus. Our guide pointed out very important sights in Nanjing -- like the new Toyota dealer and the government department where we can get our drivers licenses.

The University of Freiburg (German Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, colloquially Uni Freiburg), sometimes referred to with its full title, the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, is a public research university located in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The university was founded in 1457 by the Habsburg dynasty as the second university in Austrian-Habsburg territory after the University of Vienna. Today, Freiburg is the fifth-oldest university in Germany, with a long tradition of teaching the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. The university is made up of 11 faculties and attracts students from across Germany as well as from over 120 other countries. Foreign students constitute about 16% of total student numbers.[1]
Named as one of elite universities of Germany by academics, political representatives and the media,[3] the University of Freiburg stands amongst Europe's top research and teaching institutions.[4][5] With its long-standing reputation of excellence, the university looks both to the past, to maintain its historic academic and cultural heritage, and to the future, developing new methods and opportunities to meet the needs of a changing world.[6] The University of Freiburg has been home to some of the greatest minds of the Western tradition, including such eminent figures as Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Rudolf Carnap, David Daube, Johann Eck, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Friedrich Hayek, Edmund Husserl, Friedrich Meinecke, and Max Weber. In addition, 19 Nobel laureates are affiliated with the University of Freiburg and 15 academics have been honored with the highest German research prize, the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, while working at the University of Freiburg.
