The above quote is from Dee Michel—Class of 1974. Read the full memory below:

I loved the outside reading garden that you could get to from the Humanities Reading Room. It was disappointing not to be able to use it when the Rock was closed. But one day I discovered how to edge my way around the outside of the building and arrive at the top of the steps that went down into the garden. That garden was my favorite space at Brown.

My junior year, I was a student assistant in the Circulation Department, and was on the substitute list during the summer between junior and senior year. I was in a bad car accident over the summer and the first thing I said when being rolled down the hallway on a stretcher was, “Someone needs to call the Rock and tell them I won’t be able to make my shift as a substitute.”
