My head is a crucible. Inside everything is broken, mixed. The heat separates the silver from the slag. I play with mathematics, weighing, reducing, playing with possibilities. I am in the sciences to know everything there is to know concerning crickets, rats, and this creation that hangs on my bones, I am intrigued by tongues. And I by sounds. By colors. By a poem. Think how the place is part of you. Across Almost a century, think all the people it has been: you are: feel all those souls pump through your veins like blood. The places they have been: you places. You walk the streets they walked. you read the books they read and more. You find yourself a creature of their histories and dreams as much as of your own. Hear each of several thousand say: See here, I have my private dreams and prayers, I have my place and know it, and am comfortable with family, good friends, and still I find' myself caught here, or drawn back here, not as playing with taffy, but caught by the blood. This place and its people are not only some kind of institution, some silver of nationality. See ourselves, each other Onze School, lohn Calvin-College in an American idiom. See apple seeds. Ourselves, each other, and this place, small, sometimes hard and indigestible, still, seeds of promise. This place a prelude to the orchard. Ourselves, each other, the seeds of the apples of paradise.

From Iowa, Alberta, Illinois, Minnesota Michigan, California, Ontario: to this to this little river and this little city. From these little immigrant churches to this dozen piles of brick and glass They said back home there were books here. They said back home this wal a good place. They said back home this is worth every dollar. I said, I want to be teacher, preacher, lawyer, coach, farmer, doctor, dentist, I want to be somebody. So here I am. They said back home this was a good place to go. This is a tour guide talking: Look here. This is where the books are kept, a whole building to hold them. Here they also teach speech in six tongues. Here they play with rats, is the business office, is where the president works: they paint and make sculptures in the basement. Here is where they eat, and there. And here is where they swim and exercise. This building is a music box, and here they pray with regularity. And here, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here they live at night. I hope all of this is clear. That's all there is to see. That is all there is to the place, it could as well be anywhere as here. It is designed for use and loveliness, but there is nothing special about these buildings by themselves, indeed they are what we attach to them, and nothing more. What follows is my tour. As you will see, it differs from the guidebook at every possible point. Let us begin where the tour guide has left you. So you have seen the clothes: now see the body, see each of the attachments. Each of them is different and unique.
