Student life covers all phases of a student's activities, running the gauntlet of human emotions. Many times it is nerve-wracking. Last minute cramming for an important exam, or all night typing sessions on that long term paper can make life hectic. There are also those endless hours of research in the library, when you would rather be any- where but in that stuffy, somber building. A lingering smile after a perfect date, walking across campus on a warm evening, gabbing at all-night sessions, attending meetings for special events on campus, hatching practical jokes to play on your roommate, rejoicing when you receive a check from home-these are all brief mo- ments in your student life that blur together pleasantly. The life of a student also includes those solitary mo- ments which are necessary to every person. Those times which allow one to relax, think, or merely daydream. Dur- ing those precious moments one gains the strength to con- tinue with what often seems an unbearable schedule. Life at college involves an introduction to new people, new concepts, and new situations. Life as a student at VVesleyan encompasses all the learning through experience that cultivates personal inner growth. 21

I ,- -,--........, potlight on the Years Event 1965-1966 marked another important phase in the growth of lllinois VVesleyan. Duration Hall, which had for many years stood as a symbol of lVesleyan's past, was demolished. As the bulldozer began its destructive task, a large number of faculty members and students gathered to watch the death of what was at one time one of XVesleyan's finest buildings. ln 1867 the need for adequate space called for the con- sideration of a new building. After reviewing all of the proposed plans, those for what was to become Old Main were decided upon. Built at a cost of one hundred thou- sand dollars, which had been raised for that purpose, Old Main was an inspiring structure. Situated on a site that is soon to be the location of the new library, it was live stories high with a tower at each corner.
