Dear Lycoming Students, This book portrays one year in your life at Lycoming College. As you peruse it in the years to come, you will find it increasingly difficult to distinguish one year in your Lycoming career from another. Of course, some events will forever remain clearly dis- tinguished from all the others; but other memories will graduatlly blend into a greater whole, each con- tributing something distinctive yet something no longer meaningful apart from the other. I am confi- dent you will value the composite even as you will surely regret some of its parts. Yes, the composite is what matters! I ' d like to think that these were the years when you got it all together, when life came into focus and friendships developed into lifelong commitments. Other days are dear to other generations, but these were our days! I hope they will always be worth remembering. Frederick E. Blumer PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE Frederick E. Blumer (1976): B.A., Emorv L niioniH Milhaps College; BD., Ph.D., Shirley A. Vin Murter (1979): Dean of the College, B.A., Munde- lein College; M. A., Northweitern University; MA. , Ph.D., Univer- sity of Chicago. The Class of 1983 is a very special one to me. In the fall of 1979 when most of you arrived, I, too, came to Lycoming College for the first time. What a differ- ence four years can make! What was new and strange such a short time ago is now old and familiar, like a valued friend from whom no secrets are kept. The quad, the library, the class- rooms, and the dorms have each welcomed your footsteps thousands of times as you carved out your private trails around campus in uniquely individual ways. Then as your first year gave way to the second, to the third, and finally to the fourth, the cyclical pattern of the seasons transformed this campus in wonderfully beautiful ways. Pinks and lavenders, yel- lows and greens, gave way to golds and browns, and finally to the silver and whites that always greeted you after Christmas break. I hope these memories will never fade, and that they will become even more precious to you as your own lives unfold. f • J • {| These have been good years. May they continue so ■» » » the rest of your days. ■ • •
