t takes more than ivy to make a college ... it takes a tree-lined campus and shaded l walks . . . tradition-clad buildings of brick and stone ... a statue, a rock, a fountain. College IS the smile of the venerable old prof ... the bright young Ph.D. in his first teaching posi- tion . . the chat with the dean ... the excitement of new ideas. The hours of research in the niche in the library ... the after-hours battle with beaker and Bunsen burner ... the perplexing problem over a slide rule ... the hurried visit to the prof ' s apartment. It takes more than ivy to make a college ... the between-class coffee breaks in the snack bar . . . the midnight bull session in the dorm . . . fraternity and sorority initiations . . . gathering on the steps for an informal sing ... the Christmas formal ... the baseball championship playoffs. Yes, it takes more than ivy to make a college ... but ivy is tradition . . . and tradition helps to make a college. To paraphrase the English author Horace Smith . . . Your voiceless lips, O ivy, are living preachers — each ine a pulpit, and each leaf a book.
