Princeton University

Blair Arch at Princeton University, the twin-towered gateway in Blair Hall, with fall leaves scattered across the lawn. Blair Hall was designed by Cope & Stewardson, the Philadelphia firm that did much to shape the Collegiate Gothic look of American campuses. The arch is not just a photo stop: student a cappella groups regularly sing under it and in 1879 Arch, and the "arch sings" draw crowds of listeners. Time a visit right and you may hear the campus before you see it.
