. . . Night brings relief and release, and it brings out the bashful love, and the deep and sincere, true and last- ing love; the thousand eyes of the night look out and look on love. All about the walled enclosure of the campus lurks the outside world; and the ideas of the world, the life of the world, the world ' s reality all flow to the cam- pus; but the campus sifts, and sorts and chooses, and refines and straightens and mends; and the campus is se- cure and living . . .

. . . Whether it be the glaring heat of the sun on a mid-May afternoon or the shy pale-yellow early-morning frost-bitten sun of November, the light is with us all through the days. But the nights are with us too. The nights that we see the setting sun fling one last blaze of glory over the quickly-darkening earth, the nights that slow- ly silently reach out their soft dark fingers and embrace the breathless and waiting cypress trees. It is to the night, the hiding protectress night, that every student ' s day makes its irrevocable way . . .

. . . Then finally there rests the uniqueness of Louisiana State University: the symbol of life, and hope, and knowledge, the shining tower of light. Life strong and able, breathing and beat- ing, and casting its shining rays through all the night, looks out through the darkness and slices the way for truth and knowledge. This is the base- point, this the center; this is the seed and heart of life-giving, light-giving campus. Let all who will love, act and know first look on this light, walk from this light, and learn. Owen Goudelocke, Delta Editor
