the quick-changing days and the infinite years ahead. A stream of steps of young men trained for peace and war, for life and death. Steps on paved walks, gravel, and firm earth, steps of men from every state, men from foreign countries going to and from blocky, hard-brick buildings, round towers, collegiate Gothic, and the open, waiting spaces. They go to classrooms of liberal arts, law, science, commerce, and engineering, come to- gether through a stone door, arching under high bell tones lancet for the Liturgy of Holy Church. They know the work of classroom, library and quiet reading; the Saturdays are theirs, too, the thronging cars and colors and people, and the tense football-feeling. . . . These are the things in their year: silent slant of sun through varied vermillion leaves to earth where water in two lakes quivers and pulses; the loosed lash of winds on long quad- rangles, grey snow from the grey sky, and steady, sliding rain; liquid-air days, and Spring, born again. . . . This is today, and a year of the years. S rfr9 ff i+t , 1942
