...same, the sight of the hairy, flabby posterior of a Yalie (male or female) is one that should haunt our nightmares, not grace our video collection. It opens the door for all manner of depravity; shall we soon be forced to witness "Bedtime with Lasaga" or "Bulldoggystyle"? We call upon the citizens of New Haven, who may yet retain some scraps of self-respect amidst the crumbling ruins of their civilization, to prevent the creation of this monstrosity--with pitchforks and torches, if necessary.

It presents itself in a manner that is modest and unassuming, and you, in turn, can gaze upon it with the same unprejudiced eye with which you first viewed everything that first year, except now the sight is not nearly so overwhelming. You may still wonder at the impossibility of Widener (or the improbability of the Science Center) but you are no longer confounded by the whereabouts of the Quad or the waspy archipelago of River Houses, for all of these places are invested with memories that...
