THE FIRST DAY At first Philadelphia scared me: the idea of living in a strange city attending a strange university. But as I walked through the revolving door of Kresge building on that frightful first day of orientation, a feeling of safety and a great sense of security filled me. I knew I was in capable hands....... I thought back to my interview; how- nervous I had been, how agitated my gastrointestinal tract had become, how I had sought shelter in the lavatory, where I had received the first of many Temple surprises...........
