I knew Rice had fallen pretty far from our peers in conference realignment, but I didn't realize we'd reach the level of schools where I would have to explain the difference between a fountain and an ocean...

Marshall Memorial Fountain

UNT

The water isn't usually colored.

UTEP doesn't have any fountains (we're in the middle of the desert, for goodness sake!), but we do have an arroyo that fills up with rain from time to time...





There are plans to make it a "feature" on the campus...

The fountain is back on now, but we still had fun with it when the drought made us turn it off.





unlike UAB we have a really cool University president.

Look closely to see the fountain in front... it actually cascades down a flight of steps. This is the Trent Lott National Center on the USM campus.
You can see The Rock in the background.

Great! I woke up, read this thread, and now I have to pee.

We would fare better if we had a show us your big phallic bell tower thread.

Surpised that NOW hasn't demanded that the tower be given a more flaccid appearance.

only if you're peeing into it

Not CUSA, but I love this one at Worcester Polytechnic where my son goes. It's connected to an anemometer that controls the height of the spray based on wind speed to keep the flow in the fountain area.

I'll allow it.

Here's our only one fountain per se on campus, which has nothing notable, and several "fountains" in lakes around campus, of which one is below.

We also have a nice little lake next to Hideaway Park, mainly used for irrigation water.
