This is a panorama of Roth Hall. This building is home to the Apple Pie Bakery Cafe where we had lunch and the American Bounty Restaurant where we had dinner. We learned that the two restaurants (as well as all of the school restaurants) were staffed by graduating students. Indeed, the class was graduating that Friday. One of the staff waiting on us was planning to report to a job on Saturday afternoon in Rhode Island.
