Anyone familiar with Beaumont Tower can see why it commands attention and respect. And, of course, we know it is more than a pretty face. The 24th Annual Muelder Summer Carillon Series will showcase Beaumont Tower’s impressive bells, offering a concert each Wednesday in July. The concerts take place at 6 p.m. on the grounds of Beaumont Tower, and are free and open to the public. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.

Daylilies provide a splash of color to West Circle Drive and Landon Hall. Landon Hall is named for Linda Landon, librarian and first female instructor to teach at MSU. The Collegiate Gothic-style residence hall was constructed in 1947, making it the first post-World War II hall built on campus. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
