Gold Stars
How would we navigate campus without Wilbur Cross’s iconic gold dome? These days students come here for cafe-style food and drink, student ID photos, financial aid info, and the like. But from its opening in 1939 until 1978, this was UConn’s main library. The teacher, author, and four-term governor for whom it’s named shared a literary passion with the current library’s namesake, Homer D. Babbidge, who grew the book collection at Wilbur Cross from 400,000 to more than one million. UConn videographer Angelina Reyes braved freezing temps to get this star-trails photo on a clear, starry March night.
