The above quote is from Eric Shorter (Class of 1989). Read the full memory below:

My fondest memories of “The Rock” are all about the sunsets. After classes where done for the day, and I’d need to focus my attention on political science, (theories of justice, justice as fairness, from Locke to Kantian notions and such), I’d take myself to the upper floors and into the stacks to find a good window seat. I remember the Rockefeller Library having the best views of the setting sun over downtown Providence and Federal Hill, to take me away from pondering Tacitus, if only for a brief few minutes to smile in awe of the beauty of the world.
