A school group walks towards the entrance to Clowes Memorial Hall

Description:	A school group walks along the sidewalk and the grass towards the entrance to Clowes Memorial Hall, likely for a matinee performance, while school buses wait to drop off passengers. Designed by architects John M. Johansen and Evans Woollen III, the approximately 83,444 square-foot building is constructed of reinforced concrete and limestone. Built at a cost of approximately $3,600,000, the building officially opened on October 18, 1963. Constructed in honor of the late Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, the majority of the financing was made possible by his widow, Edith Clowes through the Clowes Foundation, but other funds were provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Butler University, among other sources. Beyond the buses, part of Lilly Hall is visible, while the tallest portion of the Pharmacy Building is in the background, and behind the trees, to the left of the buses, a small portion of Jordan Hall can be seen.
