Show UTONIAN 1955 new life at the U We narrow our universal perspective and look to the West, to the Rockies, to the valley of the Great Salt Lake. We see a broad valley floor carpeted by trees and homes ... to the west, a silver-shored lake ... to the east, multi-colored hills. Focusing through our level, we discern a white U against a red butte . . . men and women strolling along an elm-flanked sidewalk, a circle studded by stately buildings ... in the distance, paths reach toward green lawns and clustered buildings. We feel the throb of campus life . . . activity ... vitality . . . vivacity. Cars inching toward a parking lot, bumper to bumper . . . lunchers waving, chatting, and eating amid coats, books, and dishes in the cafeteria . . . shivering hitch-hikers vying for rides at loading zones ... a throng streaming from Kingsbury after an assembly ... a coed who overslept making a tardy dash for class . . . spruced-up squaws and braves jitterbugging and "doin' the Mambo." Here are new friends . . . new experiences . . . new knowledge . . new understanding. A life of education . . . preparation . . . diversion . . . progression. |
