Book Description
Excerpt from The Record of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, Vol. 61: Fall, 1984 On a day that should have been bottled and kept for Homecoming the class of 1988 arrived at hampden-sydney, with cars and station wagons stuffed and spirits high. Both sides of Cushing Road and Via Sacra sparkled with chrome and maroon and navy blue and cream as tailgates and doors opened and shut, as students and parents and sisters and brothers lifted and shoved and carried part of someone's life from one world into another. About half of them moved into Venable Hall, where freshmen have lived for as long as memory serves most of us. But - and here is the difference between this and previous first days of school on the Hill - they weren't supposed to have moved into Venable. Last year's freshmen were supposed have been the last students staying in Venable for a while, since Venable had been scheduled to stand vacant this year, pending the beginning of an extensive series of renovations.
