It combines two opposing feelings--e-elution and sadness. Because it anticipates a linal achievement, the fourth year is a going for- ward and a look backward. The future is un- certain and unknown, the past has been LIC- complished. Yet, of all the years at college, the senior is closest to our hearts.
