Editing University of Tulsa (section)

==Campus==<!-- This section is linked from [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]] -->
The campus of the University of Tulsa centers on a wide, grassy, quad-like space known as Dietler Commons, formerly called "The U." The predominant architectural style is English Gothic. Most of the buildings are constructed from tan and rose-colored Crab Orchard [[sandstone]] from [[Tennessee]] interspersed with stone quarried in [[Arkansas]]. Other materials include Bedford [[limestone]] from [[Indiana]] and [[slate]] quarried in [[Vermont]]. The university's campus borders Tulsa's Kendall Whittier neighborhood and is not far from Tulsa's downtown and midtown neighborhoods.  The campus, in particular its football venue Skelly Field, is located on the historic [[U.S. Route 66]], America's "Mother Road" stretching from [[Chicago]] to [[Los Angeles]].
