• f.. Campus Memory tradition About 1,000 new students took part in a three-year- old tradition at Western, making a procession down Memory Walk at the start of their studies in September. Western's graduation procession tradition began in 1912 when the first stone engraved with the class year was laid in the sidewalk running parallel to the facade of Old Main. In 1995, the University began familiarizing new stu­ dents with this tradition, and enhancing it, by asking them to join faculty and student leaders in a walk to Old Main after convocation ceremonies. This year, as in previous processions, students were asked to write their goals on slips of paper and deposit them in a "Memory Walk" box at the foot of Old Main stairs. The goals from the Class of 2001 are full of hopes for graduating in four years, making new friends, finding happiness and excelling in classes and sports. "To earn a varsity letter in track," one slip of paper said. Another Jon Brunk photo simply said: "Live." Students put educational and other goals in a "Memory Walk" box as faculty and administrators cheer them on.

We'll send your invitation right out. Our goal is to bring together as many Western alumni as we possibly can. So, if something on the calendar looks inter­ esting to you, even if it's in another state or province, or just in another city, jump right in and give us a call: (800)-676- 6885. We'll do our best to help you attend.
