这楼这月刚刚百岁:
Willard Straight Hall is the student union building on the central campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.the hall opened in November 1925 after 20 months of construction.
Willard Straight Hall was one of the first student unions in North America—a building devoted solely to student interests, not academic interests. One of the first college unions in the country, the Straight supports the events and functions of the many units within Student and Campus Life, including the Office of the Dean of Students, Campus Activities, and Sorority and Fraternity Life.
图中的壁画是近800年之前马可波罗和忽必烈相见话谈东西方的交流时刻。马可波罗游记被称为"世界一大奇书"和"人类史上西方人感知东方的第一部著作"，其内容对《加泰罗尼亚地图集》等中世纪地图绘制产生影响，为哥伦布等欧洲航海家探索东方提供参考，向整个欧洲打开了神秘的东方之门。理应感谢的两位先人。
