Description
Lovett Hall (6100 Main St.) is the main entrance (Sally Port) to the Rice University campus designed with a Byzantine architectural style. Construction was completed circa 1912. Photograph was taken with a Nikon D810 and converted to Black and White using pseudo Infrared.
Every university has its traditions, and Rice University is no exception. From the moment Rice freshmen process through the Sallyport during their matriculation, they’ve already participated in one of the university’s longest-running traditions. For nearly 100 years, students have walked through the archway, marking the beginning of their tenure as Rice students. And in recent years, a new tradition has emerged. “According to the tradition, you should pass one direction into the Academic Quadrangle as you matriculate, and you should not pass back through the Sallyport in the direction of Founder’s Court until your day of graduation – otherwise, you supposedly won’t graduate on time,” said Greg Marshall ’86, director of university relations in public affairs. “Of course, a great many people have proved this is not true, but almost all of the current students will not go the wrong direction through the Sallyport while they are here; instead, they’ll walk around the building.”
