True, look it up. As for the Brutualism, I think it suffers from the site plan aspects, otherwise the architecture is great visual composition.

I don'y understand how that can be overlooked. Florida Southern College has many buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I don’y understand how that can be overlooked.

Quality photos are invaluable records should the battle to save a structure be lost. Some buildings should be torn down. A single great photo may some day inspire a more suitable longer lasting work of architecture somewhere else. One more point.

I just posted a reference to this article on a local forum but would have loved to pull in the two sample Dartmouth images as a 'teaser' to get people to read this article. i.e. [img] link [ /img]. In other words there needs to be accessibility to those higher quality photos or you'll see a preponderance of crappy, uninspiring, dilapidated, abandoned "after" shots taken by cell phones filling any discussion. Additionally, you are so right, they don't age well, and the public has little vested interest in trying to perceive their former glory or future potential.

No university can compare with the explosion of natural beauty surrounding UW. The Cascade Mtns. to the east, Lake Washington in front, Mt. Rainier at 14,410 feet as a centerpiece, Seattles hills in the background, and the Olympic Range to the west...the quads and the beautiful architecture. Nothing short of spectacular.

There are some very breathtaking small colleges out there. I heard Kenyon College is quite beautiful. Sewanee has some of the best architecture around (from the pics I've seen). From campuses I have visited, Mt. Holyoke College is unforgettable. Intimate Neo-Gothic architecture galore in a very intimate New England setting. Parts of Smith College would give Harvard a run for its money. Amherst has an incredible main quad overlooking mountains, while Williams is nestled in a rugged valley. All beautiful, and way better than the University of Minnesota (!?!?) or the University of Chicago.
