i A place vast and terrifying as we enter comes to be a life, full and encompassing. To each of us a difference, yet a sameness. A life of joy the joy of victory, of friendship, of satisfaction. A life of struggle the struggle for grades, for popularity, for honor. A familiarity of buildings cracking with age or shining with new paint, of classes droning on to a drowsy end or vibrating with colorful aliveness, of faces beaming with eagerness or dulled by routine. An excitement over the first football victory, over the cute blind date, over the Who ' s Who nomination, over the beauty court. The crowded bookstores, the favorite professor, the nightly study, the library, the determination to make an A, and the dream of graduation all go into our search for learning. The important highlights fall retreat, the Tulane game, Honor ' s Day, the fraternity formal and the daily routine 8:00 classes, cafereria lines, coffee dates at 10:00, study at midnight mingle to make the University for us. College comes to be not a vague undefinable word, but a reality as alive and pulsating as the students themselves. The University is sharp memories of happiness, of love, of spirit, and of personal worth which return to each of us as we recall L.S.U., spreading among moss-covered oaks and magnolias. As a first semester freshman or a graduating senior, you have found this life of living memories. You will ever have as part of you, this our University. m mwwmm n w i ) v tn cMKiwfg m K iwm -w
