Dodd Hall is a historic structure on the campus of The Florida State University in Tallahassee, in the U.S. state of Florida. The building currently houses the Department of Religion offices for Florida State University. The building is also home to the Heritage Museum and an ornate exemplification of Collegiate Gothic architecture.
This building was constructed in the Collegiate Gothic style of architecture and was built in 1923 to serve as the library for the Florida State College for Women. A smaller west wing was constructed in 1925, while larger south and east wings were built between 1928 and 1929.
Above the main entrance is the phrase, “The half of knowledge is to know where to find knowledge.” inside the lobby is a painted ceiling and a large mural donated by the Class of 1949, “The University, Sunrise to Sunset” by Artemis Housewright, an FSU alumna. The artwork depicts school history as well as local fauna and flora.
It was FSU's main library until the Strozier Library was constructed in 1956. After the library moved to Strozier, the building was home to the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Philosophy and WFSU-TV, which housed its studio there from 1960 until 1982. The building was named in 1961 for William George Dodd, an English professor who accepted a position with the FSCW in 1910 and became Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences until 1944.
The Claude and Mildred Pepper Library opened in 1985 at Dodd Hall. It remained there until the new Pepper Center was dedicated in 1998.
Dodd Hall received a complete renovation in 1991 but retained both exterior and interior architectural integrity as did its' Auditorium, completed in 1993.
The Werkmeister Humanities Reading Room opened in 1991 as a quiet place for student study in Dodd Hall's west wing. It was named for Professor William H. Werkmeister and his wife, Dr. Lucyle T. Werkmeister in the Department of Philosophy. The professor was one of the nation’s foremost authorities in the field of philosophy and authored the book, "History of Philosophical Ideas in America", printed in 1949. Department lectures and symposia were often held in Werkmeister. On October 31, 1997, the Werkmeister Window was unveiled and dedicated. Design was by Professor Emeritus Ivan Johnson, crafted by Bob and JoAnn Bischoff and depicts four well-known FSU buildings. The window took a decade to build and is composed of over 10,000 glass pieces. It stands 22 feet tall, ten feet wide and completed the first phase of renovation.
For the eleventh annual Heritage Day, sixteen stained glass windows were unveiled and dedicated on April 8, 2011, in the Werkmeister. The windows were created by students enrolled in the Master Craftsman Program at FSU over a dozen years with money from private gifts and donations of individuals, classes and other groups. Six different groups of students worked on the windows, guided by Bob and JoAnn Bischoff.
In the years since, the Master Craftsman Studio continues their work creating and installing leaded-glass Commemorative Windows in the Heritage Museum of Dodd Hall.

The pinnacle of knowledge, this Tardis stores within it ever book ever written, and every book ever to be written. Spanning three levels, the shelves are chock-a-block with knowledge, with every subject from bakery to advanced sciences at the pilots finger tips. Dotted across the three levels are small step ladders and chairs, each with a different coloured cushion. Does the pilot make these themselves? Who knows.
This Tardis was a bit of a project, unsurprising really when you forget to colour the book's, and have to go around and colour all the bloody things, all while making sure the colours don't appear too often, or not often enough. I'd say this is definitely one of my favourites. Though, I'm not a fan of the top bit, should have made it a bit taller, and more elegant. Only downside of this Tardis is that the walkways going to the central core, with the the console and that on, plunge everything below them into complete darkness, which is a shame, 'cos some of the furniture on the bottom level is a bit hard to see. Might have to revisit it, maybe remove some stuff to let a bit more light in. This is the fourth render I did of the build, and this one had the best lighting.
So, that's another Tardis uploaded. Still got loads more, so keep 'em peeled for them. As always, lemme know what you think, and if you have any suggestions for any future Tardis themes :D
Everyone deserves that power.
Our world doesn't seem to learn.
That war is not the answer.
That history repeats itself.
That the same problems we said we'd aim to fix ten years ago.. still persist today.
And the only way to change, advance, and revolutionize
Is to enlighten the world.

Me and a few other ARC troopers of the 253rd have been ordered to take a little detour back to Kamino before our next mission. Command has ordered us to pass on our knowledge and train the next batch of ARC troopers, that will one day fight beside, if not replace us. I am happy to assist in training. I remember how I was in such a ARC promotion program and thus know what these recruits might be capable of one day. I’ll try my best to teach them well.

Miltalie school was a one teacher school which opened in 1915 to service the local area which is north-west of Cowell on Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. It had 11 female teachers during its 20 year life.
At least, that is the motto seen here over a side entrance to the old main building of Hamburg University. It is not that old, only dating from 1911. And it did not start as a university (that happened in 1919, in the Weimar Republic) but a "Kolonialinstitut". Germany before 1918 did have colonies. Knowledge as an instrument of power gets a totally new meaning then. But even later, when being a university, this academic institution was rather particular where its knowledge ought to be invested. For the Jews they did not cry when thousands were assembled next door virtually, at the Moorweide, and deported to their death. Knowledge? Yes. But whose knowledge, whose power? Fuji X-Pro1.
Rowan University Acquires Knowledge Is Power sculpture
Zenos Frudakis’ monumental bronze sculpture Knowledge is Power will be installed at Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey in Autumn, 2014. A dedication will be held in November.
The bronze sculpture is 8 feet high x 12 feet long, with two free-standing over life-size figures on either end. The figures represent educators holding an open book that presents individuals from intellectual history. One page presents Darwin as the central figure; the partnering page, shows Einstein stepping out of the book. Some of the 31 portraits of individuals and their quotes, mathematical formulae, musical notations and other elements are listed on a separate page.
The sculpture was commissioned by Dr. Francesca Cottone Shaughnessy in honor of her brother, Villanova educator Charles Sebastian Cottone, now deceased. Dr. Shaughnessy
worked for the School District of Philadelphia for 30 years as a psychologist. She asked Zenos Frudakis to create a sculpture that would "encourage students to enjoy the pleasures of learning" and site it where students and teachers could enjoy it. Inspired by Henry Rowan’s $100M gift to Glassboro University (renamed Rowan University) twenty-one years ago, Dr. Shaughnessy decided to offer the gift of this sculpture to Rowan University.

@ Barcaldine railway station. This time of year there are so many flocks of parrots (cockatoos, corellas, galahs, blueys) everywhere you point your camera. Caught some stragglers from a large flock when taking this pic to add to the flavour of autumn in the outback - tourist season. Tree of Knowledge Monument and Comet windmill tapping into the Artesian Basin in the background.
The Spirit of the Outback has been a favourite with Australian and international travellers alike for 10 years, due to the social atmosphere onboard and the spectacular views afforded throughout the 24 hour journey.
The 1,300 km journey between Brisbane and Longreach offers a unique insight into the history and culture of early Australia.
The 'Spirit of the Outback' ventures through the heritage towns of Blackwater, Emerald and Barcaldine (home of the Worker's Heritage Centre) before arriving in Longreach, home to the famous Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum and the Outback Heritage Centre.
I travelled on the train as a kid and record it in different locations whenever I visit my home town - Barcaldine, Queensland. The reason is, I wonder how long the service will be supported by the Queensland Government, especially as the current rollingstock is at the end of its life.
If you've a head for hedge mazes, you will be rewarded at the end by entrance to a vast and breath-taking library. Who knows what knowledge might lay between those pages!

When photographing the Paul Sabatier University library (Toulouse, France), I wanted to capture the geometric essence of this modernist architecture. I deliberately chose a diagonal framing to create strong visual tension and transform this familiar building into an almost abstract composition. The black and white treatment allowed me to emphasize the contrast between dark and light surfaces, while highlighting the repetitive patterns of windows and panels. I was seeking a clean image where lines and shapes become the main subject, moving beyond mere architectural representation to reach a more graphic and contemplative dimension. This photo tells the story of my fascination with how modern architecture can be reinterpreted through a minimalist lens.
