Inspired by Andrew Sullivan’s long-running but now defunct View From Your Window Contest and our enthusiasm for collegiate architecture and landscapes, we’ve launched a regular feature at PSmag.com called View From Your Ivory Tower. Since putting out a call for photograph submissions of views from the windows of university campuses in March, we’ve selected and published more than a dozen beautiful scenes. Each week, our readers have also had the chance to guess where these shots were taken. So far, dozens of one-year gift subscriptions to our print magazine have been awarded to both photographers and successful sleuths. In the process, we’ve provided a peek behind the walls and beyond the gates of the institutions where the research we write about is so often conducted. Can you guess where these were taken?
Answer Key: 1. Duke University; 2. University of Chicago; 3. University of Washington.
View From Your Ivory Tower is a photo submission contest. High-resolution photographs of views from the windows of places of higher education should be emailed to rjacobs@psmag.com and include the name of the institution and a description of the buildings or landscapes pictured. Those whose photos are selected will receive a free one-year subscription to our print magazine.
