The new part of Northside Hall at Indiana University at South Bend, the part that was built when Glenn first began teaching there. On the top floor, at the corner which is closest to us in this photo, there was a small conference room. The room on the top floor immediately next to it was Glenn's office for most of the thirty-three years he spent teaching here.
The window in his office faced west, and was high enough to see over the tops of the buildings and trees and view incredibly beautiful sunsets on many evenings. The members of the History Department and the Philosophy Department all had their offices on the west side of the top floor. In the games which academics play, an inside office with no windows had the lowest prestige. An outside office with one window (which Glenn had) gave much greater prestige. A few people (like the chairman of the History Department) had outside offices with TWO windows as a symbol of their authority. Faculty members who worried too much about these things became very squirrelly. |

A photo taken on a cold, snowy day one winter. This is the new library built on the Indiana University campus at South Bend during the 1980's. The many windows light every floor, but are made out of a special glass which blocks out the parts of the sun's radiation which do the most damage to books. Jim Mullins (one of Glenn's friends) was the head librarian who supervised the design and construction of this building, which was Jim's pride and joy.
The windows appear perfectly clear from the inside, but show a slightly green tint from the outside, so the decorative bands under the windows were deliberately done in a darker green to complement that color. The library, along with Northside Hall and most of the other buildings on campus, is faced with Bedford limestone quarried in southern Indiana. |
| Most of the major buildings on the Indiana University campus at South Bend are built around the sides of this long grassy mall. |

| During his last few years teaching at Indiana University, Glenn's office was on the north side of the top floor of this building, Wiekamp Hall, which was built at the end of the 1990's. |
