Map the Campus III

Time for another Map that Campus.

I provide the aerial photo and a hint, you tell me the mystery Campus.

The first two mystery Campus were solved rather rapidly (and I suspect that this one will be as well). So here goes:

Alpha, beta

I reported on the start of this class last week, and sinc ethen, we've had three more class meetings. Since this whole thing is an experiment, I'll keep reporting on it from time to time (heh). First, though, a quick answer to a request from comments: I'd like to hear more about your class on time…

If you look closely you can see the aura that surrounds the place. Truly, a haven for the intellectual elite.

It's nice that you picked a chemist as the clue. Good for you.

OK as Acme suggests I will only post an answer 24hrs after the post. (but we got so many right answers that it's hard not to acknowledge it!)

And BTM, I knew you'd like this one. Also I thought that the first part of the hint was the giveaway, but I guess that the cannon story is well known.

It also appears that I'll have to make this a Friday ritual.
