The week in photos: Oct. 18-24, 2020

By: Lisa Mulcrone

While we all wait until it's safe to return to campus, here are some photos from the week to connect you to campus from wherever you are. As we approach Halloween, we offer images that are beautiful and maybe just a little bit creepy. We're also offering a special video to virtually take you to campus on a fall Saturday.

Yakely Hall windows and leaves
A spooky tree at night on Adams Field
The windows of Yakely Hall, named after Elida Yakeley who was the secretary to President Snyder from 1903 to 1908. During her time at MSU, Yakeley became the first registrar, a position she held for 30 years. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Walter Adams field at night, lit up by Landon Hall, is the perfect background for Halloween. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The entrance to the W.J. Beal Botanical Garden at night. Some students and faculty claim to have seen an apparition wandering the garden at night — perhaps the ghost of Professor William James Beal himself. The garden, established in 1873 by Beal, is the oldest continuously operated university botanical garden of its kind in the United States. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Beaumont Tower stands out amongst the autumn colors. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Jalen Nailor, a redshirt sophomore wide receiver takes possession of the ball during Saturday's game against Rutgers at Spartan Stadium. The Spartans were defeated during the first game of the year. Photo by Matthew Mitchell.
Landon Hall takes on a beautiful and eerie glow on an October night. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The view from Spartan Stadium, overlooking north campus and downtown East Lansing, shows the fall display of color. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Olds Hall, viewed from Spartan Stadium. The building was formally dedicated on June 1, 1917 after being completely rebuilt when the original engineering building in its place burned down. The building was constructed using a donation from automotive executive Ransom E. Olds, who was friends with Frank Kedzie, president of the university at the time. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The Red Cedar is simply beautiful under the glow of lights on an October evening. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The Spartan Statue stands proudly in every season. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Spartan Stadium, lit up and ready for the first game of the season. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
As midterm exams approach, students on campus are taking advantage of safe study spots like the MSU Union. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The windows of Yakely Hall, named after Elida Yakeley who was the secretary to President Snyder from 1903 to 1908. During her time at MSU, Yakeley became the first registrar, a position she held for 30 years. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
