...whole, better looking. I must confess that I have a vested interest in this assertion, but I do believe that it's true. Perhaps our good looks are a benefit derived from all the exercise of walking and/or cycling. The bicycle, by the way, is not only a popular mode of transport but a veritable sport in these parts (Tour de Quad?). On the other hand, maybe our mysterious physical and intellectual appeal results from a feeling of alienation which elevates our existentialist sensitivities. During our leisurely strolls to and from the Yard, our minds ponder how these sentiments were...
Granted, much of our behavior this weekend will be well-intentioned. Our parents have traveled great distances to be here, and naturally, we want to show them a good time. But this isn't the only occasion on which this campus shifts into hard-sell mode, nor will this weekend bear witness to the grossest distortions.

...visionary homebody, less mysterious and abstract than Vermeer but vastly more refined than his predecessors, those Dutch painters of grinning drunks, gamblers and bottom pinchers in brown taverns.

The performance may not have been the best or most exciting one to hit the campus in while, but it represented the accumulation of creative input, rehearsal time and organizational efforts needed to produce such a successful show. In that sense, the event was an amazing feat...
