Morning Brings Life to the Campus For a college student morning brings many things. It can be an utterly disgusting experience or an utterly beautiful one. After late hours of study, an alarm clock jars one to the awareness that a new day has begun. He must leave the warmth of his bed to face the cold of the morning, the quiet of the air. He begins the slow process of preparing to face the activities of a seemingly never ending day of classes and clamor and rushing and waiting. The sun does shine sometimes, and it shines more beautifully on the newness of morning. Morning can also bring the student to a fresh awareness of the beauty that surrounds him — the radiant colors of autumn, the amazement of snow, the dew on the spring grass, the symmetrical floral arrangements, the grandeur of the trees, and the architectural artistry of buildings. All this faces the sleepy-eyed student as he makes his way through the first hours of the day. The splash of cold water revives the senses and lets one see the morning more clearly. Morning is greeted with a yawn and quiet determination. Above: Warm sunshine and chilly shadows afford a contrast like to the struggle between night and day.
