The above quote is from Katie Hisert—Class of 1996. Read the full memory below:

When I was a student in the mid 90s, one of the most coveted library spots on campus was in the absolute quiet reading room in the basement of the Rock. Because the Rock is perched on the edge of the hill, the absolute quiet reading room had a full wall of windows overlooking downtown Providence, despite being in the basement. And the room had the most glorious, soft, cushy arm chairs placed at intervals facing OUT of the windows, backs to the room. These chairs were the most wonderful place to read. And more often than not, the most wonderful place to sleep.
