This winged horse, Pegasus, is on the ironwork on the gates of Her- mance Stadium. As Pegasus represented immortality for the Romans, it represents to us the undying spirit of Oglethorpe University.

1983 YAMACRAW Stop. Take a look around. The key word here is look. That ' s what this book was created for. You ' ll remember that, in the past, we tended to place a lot of emphasis on the printed word. There ' s nothing wrong with that idea, but this time around we ' ve decided to do things a little differently. When you think back to your time at Oglethorpe — and sooner or later, you ' re likely to — it ' s not words you ' ll be thinking of, no matter what your English professor might tell you. You ' ll think, instead, of the people you knew and the things you saw every morning on your way to class. You ' ll think of the buildings and the way the classrooms looked. Those are the things you ' ll be remem- bering, and those are the things we ' ll be showing you in these pages. Here are the thousand and two images that grow out of a year at O.U. — the .activities, the clubs and inductions, the professors, the administrators, the bewildering variety of students. We chose to present them this way because we believe that a pic- ture speaks more directly and eloquently than copy like this ever can and because we believe the pictures here need no ex- planation. See for yourself.
