Here upon barren Red Hill I stand, a battered old monument whose days are fast coming to a close. Talk has it that this old I on Red Hill is to be replaced with some- thing newg something more spectacular, but less nostalgic. For years I have watched the rebirth of the ISC campus in the fall, only to see it die again in the spring. Each year I stand guardian over the silent buildings and watch them shed their shroud-like appearance. The students, the faculty and the administration set the pulse beat in each rebirth. Then, the music, cheers, laughs and tears echo from the sides of Red Hill. All this I see from my spot above the campus. Let me tell part of what I have seen in 1954-55 with words and pictures. They exist only to furnish the spark, and you, the reader, must build your own fire out of your own imagination and memories.
