The above quote is from David Bickford—Class of 1987. Read the full memory below:

My fondest memory of the Rock is the view of the Providence skyline from the south-facing windows. No matter what I was reading or studying, I always found a seat facing south so that I could enjoy a view of the city, both its historic buildings and its modern office towers, whenever my eyes needed a break. Now that I have been a librarian for a quarter century and have become the director of an academic library at another institution, I’m proud to say I manage a facility with views as impressive as those I saw from the Rock. It took me 25 years to get there, but it’s inspiring to have the same quality of view that I enjoyed as an undergraduate.
