WILSON’S WAY: Students, faculty, and staff gathered this spring among balloons, cake, and commemorative items to mark the 40th anniversary of the dedication of Wilson Commons, the hub of campus life designed by architect I. M. Pei as “a place to be, and a place to remember.” Envisioned by benefactor Joseph Wilson ’31 as the center of University life, Wilson Commons is known for its signature honeycomb windows, constructed with 18,000 square feet of glass, to place in focus the tower of Rush Rhees Library.
