The above quote is from Jessica Kovar Lichtenstein (Class of 1983). Read the full memory below:

I rarely went to the Rock during high pressure times: during reading period or finals, the atmosphere seemed so intense, so sociable, that it was sometimes hard to actually study there. The Rock was the place I went when I was in danger of procrastinating. I would head there on Saturdays after lunch, and would feel self-conscious browsing in the attractive periodicals room. I was most at home in the Rock during my senior year, digging deep in the more obscure basement stacks to find the right books for a final project. I realized then that it was my last chance to do this, before regular life, with ordinary library cards, would intrude.
