Only In New Orleans...

I just associate New Orleans with such a happy period of my life.  It was so much fun, especially at that time.  Tulane was this complete island of happiness and right outside was the coolest city in the world.  We rode bikes to Camellia Grill and Plum Street Snowballs and rode the streetcar downtown, or the Frerret Jet.  The kids from the north just couldn't get over the azaleas and the live oaks and all.  Maple street was really big, it was where we shopped, ate, and played.  There was the women’s movement, civil rights, Vietnam, the music, and the start of the environmental awareness.  There was a brand new offering in the curriculum, which did not even have a book yet: ecology.  It was just a concept.  But it was a glimpsing of green.  And we were right on the edge of that.  The whole free spirit deal was real.

Only At Tulane...

Football games in the fall, and teas on Friday for the Newcomb girls at the Dean’s House on Newcomb Boulevard.  Directions, the speaker series gave us a forum for national and international leaders coming to Tulane.  We sunbathed on the roof of Warren House.  We played tennis on the Newcomb tennis courts.  We would sit for hours drinking coffee and pseudo-studying in the University Center.  In the library, one floor was the social floor and one floor was the working floor.

Only Us...

Everyone was at that jumping off place in their lives and everything was possible.  Our adult personalities were forged through each other.  I believe that a liberal arts education is the answer to the world.  I just believe so much in learning critical thinking.  A liberal arts education prepares you for life, gets you out of your own little box.  I am who I am because of my 4 years at Tulane.  And I’m extremely grateful.
