The above quote is from Suzanne Karr Schmidt—Class of 2001. Read the full memory below:

I never studied there all that much, though occasionally checked in on roommates who seemingly never left the All Quiet Room. I did curate an exhibition on the history of Artificial Flowers in the room outside the AQR in 2000 as part of my art history and visual art honors programs. Getting a headset with adjustable volume controls that could play Bobby Darin’s “Artificial Flowers” was tricky, but do-able! Richard Fishman, artist and teacher extraordinaire had bought part of a flower factory from nearby in Rhode Island, and let me take the subject to its logical conclusions. The John Hay Library staff also kindly lent me a volume of Diderot’s Encyclopedia showing flower making. We had a great opening reception in the upstairs lobby, and a good time!
