A classmate of mine recently posted a link to the commencement address President Clinton gave at our graduation. Reading it was both a fun trip down memory lane and a good reminder of all the things I loved about Carleton - "... a school that celebrates diversity, a school whose students exemplify excellence without elitism, a school where the president of hte college gets to sing like Elvis." During New Student Week, when Skeech said "You are a part of Carleton, and Carleton is a part of you," I didn't think too much about it. But after all these years, his words still ring true and I get a little chill everytime I hear/read them. We may be the small liberal arts school in Minnesota of which you may or may not have heard - but this small liberal arts school and its students and faculty have left an indelible impression. Lifelong memories. Lifelong friends. College was good. There is truly something special about Carleton.
