Bascom Hall is the single most important symbol, and I always regret its feeble appearance at night. The dim light on the white columns is sad, especially when contrasted with the dramatic light on the Old Red Gym. I know that the current interest in energy savings may be considered a reason to economize, but this symbolic image seems to me worth the effort.
