Glasgow University

I went to Glasgow University at the weekend with a friend from work. I took some photos. It's one of the oldest universities in Scotland. It was founded in 1451. It's also the 4th oldest university in the english speaking world.




this is the kelvingrove art galleries and museum from Glasgow University hill

nice shots of a grand looking edifice. 1451! damn, that's friggin old. u.s.a. wasn't born until 1776, you know? remarkable it's still crankin' along doing it's same thing after all these centuries. hope they've updated their curriculum.

btw: how do they keep a place like that cool / warm..? it's presently 99F in pahr lepht. that's why i ask...

thx for the pics, Bennie. i enjoy your photos.

Kinda makes me wanna get up and study something ...hallowed halls syndrome.

Thanks, Bennie. I see how the University of Toronto tried to emulate whatever it could from those mighty walls.

We have Flagler University, built in the late 19th century, so that's about 500 years after Scotty U.

I also appreciate this, as the connection with the ancients here is polluted by conquest and abandon.
