The above quote is from Ellen Zieselman—Class of 1987. Read her full memory below:

What I remember most was the difference between studying at the Rock and the SciLi in the 80s. At the SciLi as you walked around past the carrels people would look up and scowl at you seeming to say, “Why are you walking so loudly, I am trying to work here!” At the Rock, by contrast, people would look up pleadingly as if to say, “Don’t I know you? Won’t you stop and chat so I don’t have to keep working?” Needless to say, I studied mainly at the Rock and as an Art History Major I spent a lot of hours hoping someone would walk by that I knew.
