Across the Campus, lengthening shad- ows stretch — enlivened intermittently by luminous strokes of heavenly light. Regis is at rest; the Parterre is at peace. Tran- quillity descends upon College Hall and reigns undisturbed under the Cross of Christ. Quietly and serenely, with the comforting cloak of darkness gathered around her, Regis waits for the dawn’s grey light — reveling in untold content- ment and secret delight, far from the mad- ding crowd ' s ignoble strife. Bosom of labyrinthine dreams, guardian of nocturnal confidences, Regis settles down for the solitary night with the whispered promise to greet refreshed the blush of the eastern skies, realizing that “God’s in His Heaven, all’s right with the world.”
