Indiana University
With plans already underway for the celebration of Indiana University’s Sesquicentennial, in 1966 Benjamin H. Long (A.B. 1926) came forward with an interest in erecting a gateway in memory of his father and mother, Benjamin F. (Trustee from 1915-36) and Lucy Nichols Long who were both IU graduates. But the idea of erecting a portal was initiated by members of the Classes of 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902 who established a University “Arch Fund” “for the construction of an arch over the Kirkwood Avenue entrance to the campus.”
Finally in the 1980s when the majority of the opposition to the proposal had quieted, long-time University director of scholarships and financial aid Edson Sample stepped forward to fund the Eggers and Higgins design of the early 1960s in honor of his parents, Louise Waite Sample and Kimsey Ownbey Sample Sr. The final completion of the Sample Gates was in 1987.

PLEASE look at the original size!
I was taking a biker and had Sam's 70-300mm with me to try and get some bird shots - when I got home and looked at what I had TRIED to take, they were awful - had a rabbit about 6 feet from me and had taken about 10 shots and they were ALL blurry - was SOOOO pleased that these two butterfly shots "worked" - no PS needed! Yahoo!
There was one deer in the woods next to the trail and by the time I reacted, it had run off - maybe next time . . .
Anyone want a super sweet deal on one of my custom coats? I completed a custom order that came out a tad too small and had to be remade. I love this piece so much! LMK xo
