As we strained to listen to morning announcements over early morning chatter, there was something in the air that no one could ignore. It was, perhaps, just the strange smells of a recently-completed building, or maybe it was only the usual anticipation of the first day of school. Maybe. Maybe not. Perhaps, as it seemed to some, in switching campuses, the students and administration had tripped some hidden lever, or closed some secret circuit, that took those same students1 and faculties1 energies and channeled them into some great store of energy that lay in waiting. Waiting for whom? Waiting for what? When would it be tapped? And how? That remained to be seen.
