The building itself reflects this lofty vision, including distinctive stained-glass portraits of great thinkers and artists, whose depictions were intended to “add impetus to the desire for self betterment.” The architecture is full of inspiring details, including ceramic tile illustrations of the arts and the evolution of communication. Quotations abound. Even the roof, with its pyramidal surfaces, was designed to create a feeling of uplift symbolic of the expanding horizons imparted by research and education.
