Those things I will remember when I remember college. But col- lege is more than buildings and classes, even m o r e than tradi- tions: College is people and feelings- students, teachers, administrators intermingling their thoughts and ideas. It is bicycle rides in the early morning frost when the lambs you stop to pet nibble your fingers or the spring colts at the Morgan horse ranch get just so close and then run away with bushy tails flying. It is bull sessions that go on and on and never end. And you talk about God and life and things that count. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? You don,t find out at one sitting, perhaps you haven,t yet found out-but you are a better person for having sought. And you will continue to seek-all your life- for college has taught you this.

It is Philippians 4:8 and a voice inside saying iiThese are your people . . .99 I can9t describe college, you can9t describe college, they can9t describe college. Just like turnips -no one can describe what tur- nips taste like, or what the color red looks like . . . turnips are tur- nips, red is red. And-college is college.
