Alma mater

Sitting there and looking out over the city, which was veiled in the half-light of dusk, she felt a warm excitement spread through her body.

Then, suddenly coupled to the warmth, as she caught sight of Alma Mater far below, a quick chill pierced the base of her spine.

She grinned.

This same mixture of feelings had gripped her before.

For a few more minutes, she sat on the top of the dome and breathed deeply of the clear night air.

Then she slid down to the walkway, opened the door, and clattered down the metal spiral staircase.

Back outside, she stopped at the statue of Alma Mater and, for no reason, climbed into her lap.

That it was an irrational thing to do, she readily admitted, but she liked to do silly things once in a while.

And go Cats.

Hail to the white Wildcat in spirit Wildcat in fight Hail Alma Mater From sea to sea, onward forever, hail victory.

Chapter Three: The Little Mill Girl's Alma Mater.

The education of a child is an all-around process, and he or she owes only a part of it to school or college training.

The child to whom neither college nor school is open must find his whole education in his surroundings and in the life he is forced to lead.

As the cotton factory was the means of the early schooling of so large a number of men and women who, without the opportunity thus afforded, could not have been mentally so well developed, I love to call it their alma mater.

For without this incentive to labor, this chance to earn extra money and to use it in their own way, their influence on the times and also to a certain extent on modern civilization would certainly have been lost.

I had been to school quite constantly until I was nearly eleven years of age, and then after going into the mill I went to some of the evening school that had been established and which were always well filled with those who desired to improve their scant education or to supplement what they had learned in the village school or academy.

To quote Carl Jung, those who look outside dream, those who look inside awaken.

These gospels were purposely excluded from the Bible because they were seen as fraudulent historically.

Impatient to be off, she ran up the long, wide steps in front of Low Library.

She brushed past the bronze statue of Alma Mater and puffed up more steps to the library door.

Once inside, she walked past the checkout desk and around to the northwest flight of stairs.

She climbed the steps to the fourth floor and came out on one side of the rotunda.

She now crawled on her hands and knees up the smooth, rounded arches to the peak.

Sitting there and looking out over the city, which was veiled in the half-light of dusk, she felt a warm excitement spread through her body.

Then, suddenly coupled to the warmth, as she caught sight of Alma Mater far below, a quick chill pierced the base of her spine.

She grinned.
