Yes, the world has ended, and the pages of time are recorded here in this book, and remain here as you slip through the sands of life. For some, the world begins as it ends, as we take advantage of the opportunities that we have all afforded ourselves through the University. As the doors between the two majestic towers shut, there are other doors just ahead which are open. As we look back, we regret that the stay could not have been longer, but as time passes, the world of college becomes a glowing memory, filled with good times, and of quests for knowledge. This is our heritage, to make the University a place known for our achievements, because we owe it much, and although we can never return to the carefree days as a student, we will remember them and look back on them with fondness, as days well spent.
