This aerial view shows San Diego College on Montezuma Mesa, with the south Art Building (1950), but not the North, and doesn't show Storm Hall (built 1957), so this aerial view must be from the 1950s. Hardy Tower can be discerned just below the verticle middle of the photograph toward the right, with the Aztec Bowl toward the upper left. This black-and-white postcard has a real photograph rather than a photographic reproduction (no dots at high magnification).
