The above quote is from Harry William Holt Jr. (Class of 1984). Read the full memory below:

I was an engineering student who attended Brown from 1980 to 1984. Most engineers studied in the Science Library. I could never study there. I found the Sci Li as we affectionately called it cold and dreary. I enjoyed studying in the Rock back in the stacks in a carrel with bad lightening by myself. I was able to be so productive amongst the old books of diverse knowledge. I would take mini-breaks and go out in the lobby and other students would be around chatting. This I found inspiring. I did some of my best studying at the Rock.
