Autumn on a 1970s campus meant football weekends, crunchy quads, and sweaters pulled out of dorm closets.
1. Bikes at Dusk
Lit windows in red brick dorms glow against an amber evening sky. A row of bicycles leans on a rack at the edge of the lawn, and the oak branches above still hold most of their leaves.
2. Bike Racks Under Yellow Leaves
Bicycles crowd the path beneath a canopy of yellow trees, some with wire baskets on the handlebars. Two students in red sweaters walk past the racks while another figure heads toward a low building in the background.
3. Couple Under the Maple Leaves
A young man in glasses and a short sleeved shirt talks with a young woman in a plaid dress, both smiling beneath a branch of orange maple leaves. Sunlight falls on the lawn behind them, where the first leaves have already dropped.
4. Reading Under the Tree
Two students lean against a thick trunk and share an open book on a carpet of dry leaves. She wears a plaid jacket and a red headband, and he has a striped cardigan and a cigarette in hand. A small turtle sits in the leaves right in front of them.
5. Walking Through Fallen Leaves
A couple crosses a lawn buried in orange leaves, she in a plaid skirt, red cardigan, and red knee high socks. Tall trees frame the path, and a few parked cars appear in the distance.
6. Bench Break
Two students take a seat on a wooden bench in front of a brick hall while leaves pile up across the lawn. More students rest on benches in the background beneath a big yellow tree.
7. Red Brick Hall in Full Color
A Victorian style building with pointed towers rises across a lawn covered in orange leaves. Maples on both sides blaze in the same color, and only a few tiny figures stand near the entrance.
8. Schoolhouse Hill
Children in bright jackets and dresses run down a dirt road from a white schoolhouse surrounded by red maples. An American flag hangs from the porch, and the hillside is thick with fallen leaves.
9. Path Under Orange Trees
Students with backpacks walk a tree lined path toward a stone building, with orange leaves overhead and scattered across the grass. A red WELCOME banner hangs from a lamp post on the left.
10. Raking Leaves
Three men in hats and work jackets rake leaves into piles on a lawn in front of a large columned building. Students in coats cross the path behind them, headed for the steps.
11. Columned Hall in Orange Light
Bright maple leaves fill the top of the frame while a domed building with white columns stands across a green lawn. A few tiny figures gather near the entrance steps, and rows of dark chairs sit lined up in front of the base of the hall.
12. Antique Shop Under the Maples
A weathered wooden shop with ANTIQUES painted above its door sits behind a curtain of orange leaves. A small OPEN sign leans by the entrance, and a plaque reading 1792 hangs on the wall next to a window full of teapots and china.
13. Picnic on the Leaves
Four friends sit around a checkered cloth on a lawn buried in leaves, sharing bread, mugs, and a bottle. Two of them wear light blue sweaters, one laughs behind tinted glasses, and a plaid pair of pants stretches across the blanket.
14. Gothic Hall Behind Red Leaves
A stone residence hall with a tall arched entrance faces a lawn scattered with dry brown leaves. Bicycles lean along the walls on both sides of the arch, and red branches hang across the top of the frame.
15. Last Leaves on the Lawn
A huge bare tree dominates the foreground while a red brick hall with a green cupola glows with lit windows behind it. Patches of slush cover the grass, and only a few rust colored leaves remain on the branches.
16. Kicking Through the Leaves
A student in a brown leather jacket and a blue backpack swings a foot through a pile of maple leaves. Concrete and brick walls rise behind her, and she smiles straight at the camera.
17. Studying on the Bench
A young woman in a burgundy blazer, a plaid midi skirt, and tall red boots reads from an open notebook on a dark wooden bench. Fallen leaves cover the ground around her, and a red sedan is parked in the street behind the trees.
18. Plaid Skirts and Embroidered Cardigans
Two students walk a leaf covered path with notebooks tucked under their arms, both in cream cardigans stitched with flowers. One pairs hers with a red scarf and a plaid pinafore, and the other with a long plaid skirt and dark boots.
19. Motorcycles Behind the Boulders
Three students sit talking on the grass between two big rocks, surrounded by dry leaves. A covered shelter with a painted mural stands behind them, with a row of motorcycles parked underneath.
20. Crowd on the Green
Dozens of students spread out across a wide lawn with backpacks, bicycles, and plastic cups scattered around. Some sit in groups, some stand and talk, and brick buildings rise in the background beyond the trees.
21. Leaving Class
A group of students files out of an arched brick doorway with books tucked under their arms. Skirts, button down shirts, and a bright yellow dress stand out against the shade while a maple branch hangs gold leaves across the top of the frame. The lawn in front is already covered in orange and yellow.
22. Gothic Windows Behind the Maple
Tall stone windows with lacy tracery sit behind a maple at its brightest orange. An empty wooden bench waits along the path, and fallen leaves reach the edge of the frame. Sunlight catches the branches and leaves the building in soft shadow.
23. Table Talk Under the Trees
Two students lean across a wooden picnic table, deep in conversation beneath branches of golden leaves. A third sits on the ground at the left with legs stretched out, sipping from a paper cup. The warm, grainy color gives the scene a late afternoon feel.
24. Trench Coat on the Path
A man in a light trench coat and dark hat chats with three students on a sidewalk covered in yellow leaves. One holds a book with a yellow cover, another wears a plaid jacket, and a dark brick hall rises behind the group. Shadows from the branches stripe the path at their feet.
25. Plaid Jackets on the Walk
Two students cross a stone courtyard in front of a castle style hall, one in a white jacket and the other in red and black buffalo plaid. Bare branches arch overhead, and a third student in the same plaid walks the other way. The grass is still green, but the trees have already dropped their leaves.
