That Gothic structure near the center of the image and above the Red Square is Suzzallo Library, which is not only the graduate library but was also home to the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. To give you an idea of how captivating it was to be a student in this institution, the nearly 200 pages of my monster comic Assorted Thoughts on Insanity was almost entirely composed while enduring lectures in this delightful program.
After attending undergrad at the wild and experimental Evergreen State College in the 1970s, going to the UW was like stepping back into high school. But I did enjoy being on a large academic campus in a major city.
