Louis and Ruth Wright shot these aerial panoramas of campus in the mid 1930s as part of 3 different sets of film depicting student life during their undergraduate years. For reference, many of the panoramas are shot on the curved roof of what is now known as the Armory, and the tennis courts depicted were where the University Main Library's parking lot is today.
