O N I Ik Mississippi, straddling Minneapolis and Si. Paul, stands lit. I'nivcrsity «»f Minnesota. 'city' of lira ins, bridges and bewilderments, coinninnily of bigness. Do you want to know bow big it is? To traverse it, you must board a trolley and move electrically. Clumsy semis (14 wheelers) roar past Fol well ball to drown out the professor's spring lecture on Walden pond. Buildings shoot high (like the Mayo Memorial) or spread wide across the grass (like the education building). It is a ’city' of extremes— new snow is soft and clean on the Mall: February snow, gray and crusty: and the air is sharp, driving students into stone tunnels (between Northrop and Folwell): in the spring, deep puddles, big winds, and a few students lolling on the grass, forgetting (fora moment) the trolleys, the semis, the bigness. The river, the Mississippi, is narrow at Ibis point—and busy. (beat barges heaped with coal Hunt beneath the campus. coming from the south. St. Louis. New Orleans (where there are other campuses, oilier students, other traditions). Few students pause to look at the river. even in the summer, when it is beautiful. It is I lie only quiet thing in their midst. 'rile community above is tilled with noisy, urgent attractions: the panly raid mob and the Hooter club: the Greeks, the M club and the Multipliasic: library fines and IBM cards and the cyclotron. The campus makes demands, dispenses gift'. invokes punishments. And finally, with luck, with work,and with prayers (if he believes). there comes the degree. And the student leaves this 'city , but. lill. lie does not look down to the river even in I he summer, when it is beautiful. 1953 GOPHER WII.MA FANCHKR r.lllor JOHN K. HOIIAN I.Uilitr.i nutltr
