“There we were — competing for a four-year scholarship, playing frisbee on a
Lawn designed by the author of The Declaration of Independence. There was no
other place in the world that so easily mixed prestige and playfulness, no other
place where people were so committed to having fun while pursuing their dreams
of success.... [This University] deserves only the best and that’s why alumni and
the Foundation go to such great lengths to bring you all here. We hope that, even
in this hectic weekend, you will
fall in love with this place just
like we have.”
