The Search For Knowledge Ignores The Calendar The pages of the calendar slip by, past football games and pep rallies, theatre productions and Christmas concerts, ski jaunts and Valentine parties, on through picnics and proms to the solemnity of commencement. The unity in the changing academic calendar is the student and his pursuit of knowledge—in lecture hall and classroom, laboratory and library, and finally, late at night, under the bright arc of a desk lamp in a silent room. The quest for truth is the silent, steady current of purpose beneath the gaiety of the student’s social calendar.

Autumn Is ... A Time for Enthusiasm The indolence of summer wanes and ushers in the fresh enthusiasm of September when the campus skyline is touched with the golden, orange and red hints of autumn. The students embark on studying and socializing with a bright, new spirit. Cheering the football team or listening intently to a lecture, making new friendships or renewing old ones— all have a new purpose in the first months of the academic year. And still, in September and October, the student is drawn to the outdoors, to tire last tantalizing warmth of the vanishing summer and the fragrant crispness of the new season.
