This one will be familiar to alums who remembered to look up on their way to class. Anyone know where we spotted this ornate chandelier?

    <> Main Staircase, Linsly-Chittenden Hall <> The tip-off ? -> the 1906 vaulted ceiling built of Guastavino tiles, similar to the tile arches built in 1903 for Grand Central Terminal's wonderful Oyster Bar <>

    That's exactly right! There's a similar light fixture in the entrance lobby, but you recognized the difference in the two Guastavino ceilings!
