Alice Millar Chapel, Northwestern University's interfaith Chapel (The Alice S. Millar Chapel and Religious Center (1962) was the gift of Foster G. McGaw, a University trustee, and his wife, Mary. Its 720-seat chapel was named in honor of Mr. McGaw's mother, Alice S. Millar McGaw. Designed by Jensen and Halstead of Chicago, it houses a 100-rank Aeolian Skinner organ and is distinguished by its magnificent stained-glass windows and a 151-foot spire.)

University Hall, Northwestern University (University Hall (1869) is the oldest building on campus. It was designed by Gurdon P. Randall and took three years to construct. The high-Victorian Gothic building was made with the same type of Joliet limestone that was used in the historic Chicago Water Tower. Now the home of the English department, it originally housed a chapel, a museum, classrooms, a library, and meeting rooms. The clock in University Hall's highest tower, with a movement built by Seth Thomas, was the gift of the class of 1879. The bells were the gift of the class of 1880. In the west entryway of University Hall is a sign bearing the name 'Old College.' This sign hung above the main entrance of Old College, the first building at the University, completed in 1855 and razed in 1973.)

Levere Memorial Temple (Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ΣΑΕ, also SAE) is the largest North American Greek-letter social college fraternity. It was founded at the University of Alabama on March 9, 1856. Of all existing national social fraternities today, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the only one founded in the Antebellum South. Its national headquarters, the Levere Memorial Temple, was established on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1929.)

Northwestern University

Harris Hall, Northwestern University (Harris Hall (1915) was built as a home for the social sciences. Designed by Charles Coolidge, the building features colossal Ionic columns and decorative applied pilasters at the top story. Today the three-story limestone structure is used by the history department. It was named for Norman Wait Harris, a prominent Chicago banker, philanthropist, and trustee and benefactor of Northwestern University)

Annie May Swift Hall, Northwestern University (Annie May Swift Hall (1895) was designed by Charles R. Ayers in an eclectic mixture of Venetian Gothic Revival and Romanesque styles. The building was named in honor of the daughter of Gustavus F. Swift, the meatpacking tycoon; she was a Northwestern student when she died in 1889 from typhoid fever. The building originally included offices, recitation rooms, a library, a gymnasium, and an auditorium for what was then known as the School of Oratory. That school evolved into the School of Communication, which continues to occupy Swift Hall today ' as does WNUR (89.3 FM), the student-run radio station)

Deering Library, Northwestern University (A modified Gothic structure modeled after King's College Chapel in Cambridge, England, Charles Deering Library (1933) served as the main library until 1970. It honors Charles Deering of Deering Harvester Company. Deering and his heirs donated most of the $125,000 needed to construct the building. The Lannon stone building, designed by James Gamble Rogers, now houses the University's Music Library, Art Library, the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections, and University Archives.)

Levere Memorial Temple, Northwestern University (The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation owns, operates and maintains the Levere Memorial Temple. This gothic style building was built in 1929-1930 to serve as a war memorial and administrative facility for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Financial & Housing Corporation.

The Temple not only houses the fraternity offices but many historical SAE treasures including the minutes from the first meeting of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, artifacts from fraternity founders and famous alumni. The Temple's collection also contains items with national and international importance such as a copy of the Nuremburg Chronicle and a painting of President William McKinley that is one of the few painted while he was in office.)

Northwestern University (Now Jack will have two great universities chasing him for donations.)
