Rick C ’73 says: Great story that will move many to tears and many to work to discredit a wonderful tradition that has impacted lives for almost a century. How can someone who has never endured the effort required to do such a thing ever hope to understand the emotion that comes to the surface when this issue is discussed. I remember the four I participated in...much was learned about how the University can bring so much out in such young people. The terrible loss of life can not overcome, but we can hope to rebuild what may come after. (November 3rd, 2009 at 5:21pm)
