Academics Test tubes, tape recorders, dictionaries, and words combined in a bright collage of South Side activity. Electronic classrooms, the new library, biology and chemistry labs, the Greeley Room, and sometimes the hallways could feel our curiosity for new ideas and anxiety when nearing finals. From prepositional phrases to volume equations, we searched for our interests and became aware of the seekers around us.
