The Van Amringe Memorial Quadrangle, popularly known as Van Am Quad, is located between Hamilton and John Jay Halls, immediately in front of Wallach Hall, Hartley Hall and the Taint Gate. The 'quadrangle' is named after John Howard Van Amringe, the popular first Dean of Columbia College and professor of Mathematics from 1865-1910. It consists of two lawns with a rotunda in between housing a bust of Van Amringe.
