The campus was alive with events both familiar and new in November. Studies continued apace as the semester pushes closer to final exams. Civil rights icon Ruby Bridges addressed a campus group, urging students to "pick up the torch" to move the country forward. The annual observance of Veteran's Day featured ROTC cadets keeping their vigil at the Clarke Memorial Fountain. Amid all this, campus saw both peak fall foliage and our first measurable snowfall of the season.
