This is a pre-posted blog, as I am out of the office today – and will be out all next week as well.

Wake Forest is arguably one of the prettiest campuses in the country, and each week I have been trying to pay homage to the many special places on campus. Here’s a sampling of a few more places that provide great beauty, a quiet moment for reflection, a great view, and more.

The balcony off Benson University Center overlooking the Tribble Hall courtyard

Wake Forest students walk to class across Tribble Courtyard early on the morning of Friday, April 16, 2010.Sit in one of the wooden rocking chairs and enjoy the great view as you watch the campus walk by beneath you.

The patio tables outside of Zick’s in Poteat Hall

The swings on Davis Field

Frequently you’ll see students swinging gleefully and enjoying a spontaneous burst of childlike joy. Our late president, Thomas K. Hearn, Jr., was known to swing on these.

The Mag Patio

With wide circular tables and rocking chairs, this is a great place to study or eat al fresco.

Wait Chapel Steps and the Quad (Hearn Plaza)
