Strawberry Rhubarb Porridge

Presently we saw a curious thing: There were no clouds, the sun was going down in a limpid, gold-washed sky. Just as the lower edge of the red disc rested on the high fields against the horizon, a great black figure suddenly appeared on the face of the sun… the handles, the tongue, the share—black against the molten red. The fields below us were dark, and the sky was growing pale, and that forgotten plough had sunk back to its own littleness somewhere on the prairie.” — Willa Cather (My Antonia, 1918)

At the Library

West Virginia University is integrated with the city of Morgantown in a way that shares some strong similarities with many European universities, though not identically in every aspect.

Many classic European universities (e.g., in cities like Oxford, Cambridge, Bologna, Paris/Sorbonne, Heidelberg, or Utrecht) are deeply embedded in their urban fabric. Buildings are often scattered throughout the historic city center, with lecture halls, libraries, and administrative spaces intermixed among shops, residences, cafes, and public streets rather than being confined to a walled-off or peripheral “campus.”

In Morgantown the university and city feel like one continuous, walkable entity — the institution essentially helped shape or co-evolved with the town over centuries, creating a seamless “town-gown” blend where university life spills directly into city life and vice versa.

Overall, Morgantown is widely regarded as a quintessential American college town with very strong university-city integration — especially around the Downtown Campus — and it mirrors the European pattern more closely than many sprawling, isolated U.S. flagship campuses (e.g., those in big suburban or rural settings like Purdue, Ohio State, or Texas A&M). The relationship is symbiotic and visible in daily life, with the university embedded in the city's identity and physical layout.

Gallery: Graduation Commencement Speeches

“It is at leaving the college and entering the world that the education of youth begins…

It is less uniform than that of childhood but more dependent on chance, and doubtless more important.

The youth is then attacked by a greater number of sensations: all that surrounds him strikes him,

and strikes him forcibly.”

—  Claude-Adrien Helvétius (A Treatise on Man)
