You come back to the Hill now as you came back then. Once again in your memory let flash the vivid scenes that you will never forget. With the red dawn of a new college day and a new college generation come back across the campus and with that which thou hast in that heavy ragged suitcase of thine give a toast "To the Days that are Gone."
--Thomas Wolfe
