Label TextChristensen wrote: The Memorial Union brings forth a rush of memories, such as Christian Petersen's Fountain of the Four Seasons, a favorite place for taking photos to be sent home. There also are memories of ballroom dancing, The Commons, the entryway honoring students who gave their lives during America's wars, alumni banquets and speeches by such luminaries as Supreme Court Justice William Douglas.
