waiting for the 3:00 mail delivery . . . dancing to the music from the student union juke box in madras and white duck ... the dissection and study of fetal pigs in biology lab . . . the tanned skin of stu- dents basking in the solar glow of spring ... the beauty of May Day and the lovely co-eds in the court . . . final preparations for the spring term exams ... repacking belongings and saying farewell to some of the dearest friends in the world . . . These are the reasons we love you, respect you, and shall return to you every fall on foot, in vehicles, and always in our dreams. We, thy sons and daughters, hail thee, Queen of Light!

the floor of the gymnasium blanketed with couples absorbing the melodies of folk music . . . one fast cigarette before 8:00 class . . . racoon collars and Alpaca sweaters dodging white flakes drifting from gray heavens ... the peal of the victory bell after a basketball game . . . standing in line for oatmeal on a chilly December morning . . . Christmas carols resounding from the chimes . . . burning the mid- night oil with coffee and lecture notes ... the blinking of lights from the girls ' dorms, giving a five- minute warning before closing hour . . . ■ the silence of 300 students with bent heads in the library . . . the first glance at a semester final exam lying on the desk top . . . the birth of a chapel and the conven- ience of an auditorium . . . tennis balls bounding against rack- ets and fences . . . high heels and neck ties parading to Sunday din- the shimmer of newly ner washed cars parked beside the in- firmary . . . buying a coke in the college canteen . . .
