...could go on a regular Crimson Key Tour. These are very nice, very traditional (your uncle who went here probably led them when he was an undergrad), but after all, sort of bland. The Crimson Key Society, which runs these officially-approved tours, makes the University attractive and awe-inspiring. But after that, if you have any more curiosity than a hermit crab, you'll want to find out what the place is really like...
...Crimson Key tour will have informed you that Mem Hall used to have a steeple, (which got burned to a crisp in 1957) and that it used to be a church, and that all those off men who peer gargoyle-like from the eaves of Sanders Theater had some significance to someone at sometime, but that's all Fine Arts and you want tradition...
...Wednesday morning, a Gray Line tour bus pulls out of a Holiday Inn and the guide, 21-year-old Diane Piecara, boasts of the anniverary: "You are making history today." Her bus includes half a dozen Canadians and a few Norwegians, infants, and grandmothers. But mostly there are middleaged, middle-American women, wearing shorts or double-knit slacks.

Diplomatic assignments in Latin America, Africa, Canada and Viet Nam seasoned...

In 1968, some four years before his death, Poet Ezra Pound agreed to accompany an Italian photographer on a tour of the locales that had inspired him during the writing of the Pisan Cantos 23 years earlier. The freedom to roam was ironic, for when Pound had composed these poems he had not been free to travel anywhere. He was incarcerated in the U.S. Army Disciplinary Training Center in Pisa, charged with treason for making speeches over Rome radio in support of Mussolini's regime...
