Most universities have a ceremonial centre, an akademische aula, as the older German universities term it, a salle d'honneur in the francophone universities, or in plain English a hall of honour. It is usually a place of considerable dignity, of more than ordinary architectural pretensions, a place if not of reverential awe nevertheless one where the lares et penates of the university communicate themselves to the receptive spirit with persuasive force.
At McGill, that place is the Redpath Hall. It certainly has the architectural pretensions: its spacious proportions, its great hammer-beam roof, its painted glass windows, and its magnificent organ combine with its east-west orientation to give it, as Peter McNally so rightly points out, a basilican grandeur.
