At Whitman College, we have used local rubble stone for the walls and Indiana limestone for all sculptural elements and dressings combining a ll in that unique mix, cut and composition that ‘spells Princeton’. In energy terms, this form of construction offers enormous advantages over lightweight steel or concrete structures.

More than 6,000 tons of fieldstone and limestone; 175,000 pieces of fieldstone from quarries in Alcove, N.Y., and Susquehanna, Pa..; Estimated 38,000 pieces of limestone trans- ported from Indiana; 110,000 square feet slate and copper roof, 467 tons of slate and 30 tons of copper;
