s MAC The big center door in Roberts opened and a ruddy-faced Scotchman ap- peared. He bundled his overcoat more tightly around him, pulled out his gloves and lit a cigarette as the glass rattled in the door behind him. He slipped his lighter into his coal pocket and in one quick movement had neatly adjusted his hat, pulled on his gloves and started off down the flagstone path between Roberts and the Lloyd parking lot. He walked in short, compact, determined steps, his eyes rooted firmly to the ground, taking regular puffs on the fresh cigarette. A group of students bounded out of fourth entry, caught sight of him and carefully measured their steps in order to meet him at the point where their paths crossed. He uttered a snappy hello, flashed a broad smile and with a brief wave of the hand, disappeared into the noise of the ventilators behind Founders. Mac has been the mentor of the campus for 35 years. Everyone knows him. His name and the College ' s are synonymous. For all those who have passed through these doors, it was he who got them here, in many cases it was he who kept them here, and it was he who held an incalculable influence on all. He was arbiter, counselor, the last word and the foun- tainhead of common sense. His personality and the College ' s are insepar- able. For many, he is the College, a symbol, a figurehead for all it rep- resnts. 10
