Van Amringe Quadrangle and Memorial
Revision as of 22:28, 24 February 2008 by Absentminded (talk | contribs)
The Van Amringe Memorial Quadrangle, popularly known as Van Am Quad, is located between Hamilton and John Jay Halls, immediately in front of Wallach Hall, Hartley Hall and the Taint Gate. The 'quadrangle' is named after John Howard Van Amringe, the popular first Dean of Columbia College. It consists of two lawns with a rotunda in between housing a bust of Van Amringe.
The area around the rotunda and Taint Gate is considered one of the most picturesque spots on campus.
Near the rotunda, there is now a memorial to alumni killed on September 11th, 2001.
