The above quote is from Helen Norris Baker (Class of 1976). Read the full memory below:

What a revelation it was to learn what it was to study! And to head to the a Rock every night after dinner, returning back to the dorm around midnight. Of course, a subsequent discovery (that the reading room offered far too many social distractions) led to many solitary evenings at a carrel in the stacks–but that did not detract from the sense that it was my “home away from home” on campus.
