Handsome campus, impeccably maintained in true Lutheran fashion!

Nice!  I applied to Wittenberg and visited once, but it looks like they've already got several new buildings since then.

I've been to Springfield several times, but never to this campus.  Thanks for sharing.  It seems bigger than I thought it would

I like this pano from 1910
