Seen from the air in early August, Pauli Murray and Benjamin Franklin Colleges looked completely finished. But inside, workers were racing to get the new buildings ready for the students arriving later in the month. We’ll have a feature story on the new colleges in our next issue. For now, in case you need help getting your bearings, that’s Benjamin Franklin in the foreground, across Canal Street from the Grove Street Cemetery. Pauli Murray (with the tall tower on the left) is in the background, in front of Ingalls Rink. That’s Prospect Street running up the right side, and Kline Biology Tower in the upper right.
