This then, was Lehigh. From the station all you could see was the chapel spire and beyond to the right, the tower of Packer hall. And it was raining that first day. That night, your first at school, you slept in your new bed and were a little afraid and a little anxious but quite happy for this was college and the new life. Then the next day, Freshman Week started. You were just one out of approximately 400 bewildered youths milling in the spotlight. All kinds of strangers told you all kinds of things that you listened to and promptly for- got in the whirl of fraternity rushing and new friends and a new town. But before you were quite ready, school started and you learned to divide twenty-four hours among classes and studies and fun and sleep and activi- ties and that was the Freshman year, ended almost before it began.
