Amherst College is storied. According to Wikipedia, Amherst was "[f]ounded in 1821 as an attempt to relocate Williams College by its President Zephaniah Swift Moore, Amherst is the third oldest institution of higher education in Massachusetts. Amherst remained a men's college until becoming coeducational in 1975." These doors, which are large and imposing, provide the entrance to Converse Hall which was build as a library by Edmund Cogswell Converse in 1917 in honor of his brother James Blanchard Converse, class of 1867. The building now houses faculty offices, classrooms and a large conference room "The Red Room" named for its rich red carpeting.
