Is the Eric Newman Museum located on the campus of Washington University or nearby?

Longacre

My nephew is applying to colleges and he sent in an application to Washington University. He already got into Boston College, so I am trying to advise him that hanging in Boston for 4 years is probably preferable to the big city lights of St. Louis

He is planning on visiting the school soon to take a look. Although he is not a numismatist, his father is a history buff (mostly civil war, but is into the American Revolution, too). Does anyone know if the Newman Museum is actually on the Washington University campus, or is it somewhere nearby?

On the campus. I run by it every Saturday morning.

It is a big campus, be sure to get a good map. As I recall the Newman Museum is on the south side of the campus.

RYK is either very fit or very well endowed, because all the housing in the immediate area is, shall we say, in the MS67 and up range.

Let's try to keep it PG-13, please.

I meant "endowed" in an academic sense, like a university. What were you thinking

Washington U is a very cool school. It was my primary backup if I hadn't gotten into U of C. --jerry

Your nephew wouldn't hurt himself by going to Wash U. Both the Law School and the Medical School are top notch.

I forgot that you are an alum.

The southwestern corner of the Wash U campus (the football field) is about one mile from my house. Our Saturday run is 5.5 miles. We live in AU-58 housing, kinda like a slider, but with the new kitchen, probably worthy of the Longacre Sticker™. Before the kitchen, no chance for the sticker.

Yes, I think the university is also trying to forget that

I could probably not get in today. They have moved up a couple notches since I graduated.

The Newman collection is in the Sam Fox Art Center (I think) which is the new eyesore in the parking lot of Brookings. I have yet to see the collection though I have worked with the Wulfing Collection there and it was quite impressive. I am terrible with directions but the museum is right on campus right off Skinker and Forest Park Parkway.
