41 Koepchen Mall Koepchen Hall . . . where an oval driveway sep- arated the concrete stoop of our dorm from a little island of long-needled pine trees . . . where a hroad, glassed-in porch separated the outside from a unique kind of pandemonium that was composed of every- thing from grapefruit parties to the renditions of Koepchen-styled Chopin . . . where all our zani- ness ' and laughter was tempered by a habit of daily devotions . . . and real spiritual sincerity . . .
