Late at night one can hear running across the south edge of campus the trains of the Grand Trunk Railroad, going to Detroit and Port Huron in the east and Chicago in the west. The trains pass through the university along their way, rumbling through the agricultural research fields. Open and covered Pullman, flat and sunken flat, and automobile carriers all hauled by diesel locomotives fill the still air with the click of the rails. The sound of their passing carries clearly across the campus, producing an aural backdrop for an otherwise silent scene. In the darkness, the surface of the Red Cedar River looks polished and black. Silent. Except at the rapids behind the Administration Building, the current is barely discernible. Spartan Stadium is reduced to an illuminated framework, lit from within by dim lights which soften the sharp edges of the bracing cement shafts. The south end of Spartan Stadium. 10
