The above quote is from Judy Finkelstein Kashtan (Class of 1974). Read the full memory below:

I have so many fond memories of the long hours I spent at the Rock … I probably spent more hours there over four years than anywhere else on campus …studying (or sleeping) in the reading rooms in one of the prized chairs that faced the windows, looking out at a view of Providence … looking up words in the large dictionary on the pedestal while stealing surreptitious glances on a crush … nights working at the student run coffee shop hidden back in the stacks … walking out with leftover doughnuts and cookies at the end of the night … sitting in “my carrell” in the stacks with endless flashcards of organic chemistry flashcards. Although I sometimes studied in the new-at-that-time sky-high-sci-li, it was soulless and cold. The Rock was the heart of the campus for me and revisiting it during reunions was like visiting a treasured old friend.
