c ORI N V O C A T ENTATION The Grizzly Bear is huge and wild He has devoured the infant child. The infant child is unaware It has been eaten by the bear. A.E. Housman What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility Only in a world of speculation What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present. Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage we did not take Towards the door we never opened into the rose-garden. T.S. Eliot Orientation represents the first opening of the doors of Salem to the incoming freshman. Through these doors they receive their first glimpse at the life they will lead for the next four years. The friends and experienc es they will have within these brick walls will be lasting. When the Class of 1991 passes through the doors of Salem for the last time they will consider those four years time well spent. All the pomp and circumstance that Salem can muster is presented at Opening Convocation. For the Freshman, Convocation marks the formal passing through the doors of Salem and the promise of the next four years.. For the Seniors it is a reflective pause in the doorway, with remembrances of Salem, before venturing out into the real world.
