SEQUEL
SPRING
Springtime
at
Paul
Smith’s
Stewart

Spring
has
had
its
trouble
a
rriving
here
in
the
Adirondacks
this
year.
We've
had
a
few
snowy
moments
rivaling
our
most
\severe
w
:n
te
r
\
day
while
some
days
have
seen
the
m
e
rcury
creep
up
to
nearly
50.
It
matters
little
I
though.
The
season
is
Spring
and
with
it
comes
the
uncloaking
of
our
campus.
Some
intrepid
souls
don
shorts,
speakers
are
put
in
open
windows
to
f
ill
the
woods
and
dales
w
ith
music,
the
softball
games
begin
in
earnest,
dorms
plan
parties,
sophomores
sense
the
imminence
of
graduation
—
signal
ed
partially
by
the
flow
of
job
recruiters
to
campus,
the
ice
in
the
lake
at
last
begins
to
break
away
from
shore
and
great
rifts
daily
jigsaw
across
giving
devoted
canoeists
open
water.
Spring
also
marks
the
last
quarter
for
the
College's
Annual
Fund
campaign,
and
the
excitem
ent
of
meeting
our
$25,000
Challenge
mounts!
The
Admissions
Office
is
working
on
turning
our
accepted
list
to
paid
deposits
by
May
1st,
and
the
Alumni
Office
is
off
and
running
to
regional
club
events
all
across
the
Northeast
as
well
as
working
closely
w
ith
the
Alum
n
i
Council
to
plan
a
bigger
and
better
Alum
n
i
Reunion
in
September
(see
below).
Summer
program
s
for
the
College
are
plotted
and
developed,
the
Hotel
enters
its
busy
season
w
ith
fu
ll
bookings
and
many
fresh
and
ex
citing
changes,
our
culinary
arts
department
is
into
the
thick
of
things
getting
organized
to
cater
the
Lake
Placid
Horse
Show
this
July
(they'll
have
fed
over
5,000
people
when
it's
over),
a
Forestry
Career
Camp
for
high
school
students
enters
its
final
stage
of
planning,
and
m
a
intenance
crew
s
hustle
e
v
e
ryw
h
e
re
brightening
up
the
place
and
tackling
all
the
fair
weather
projects
the
college
has
going.
The
Forestry
club
held
its
Spring
dinner
recently,
once
again
packing
them
in
and
after
23
years
saying
so
long
to
spaghetti
and
in
troducing
beef
stew
(see
page
8).
I
get
into
the
act
myself.
Spring
is
my
tim
e
to
start
skipping
lunch
and
begin
jogging
in
earnest
instead.
I
usually
head
up
North
30
towards
Malone.
It
feels
great.
Jogging
like
that
gives
me
tim
e
to
think.
Someone
once
wrote
something
that
really
sticks
w
ith
me.
He
(or
she)
said,
\Im
a
g
ine
you
can
live
to
80.
That's
only
80
springs
to
enjoy.
Only
80
firs
t
days
of
spring.\
Somehow
that
thought
causes
me
to
want
to
enjoy
things
more.
One
of
those
enjoyments
is
watching
our
campus
catch
the
morning
light
breaking
through
the
pines
and
hearing
the
students'
echoes
as
they
stiffly
move
about
in
the
cold
before
classes.
I
also
enjoy
the
noon
sun
on
my
back
as
I
detour
down
a
part
of
the
Blue
Dot
tra
il
on
my
run.
When
I
jog
back
on
campus,
I
often
run
past
the
classrooms.
Now
there's
a
\
h
u
b
\
if
I
ever
saw
one!
Faculty
dart
or
stroll
in
and
out
of
New
Classroom
or
Cantwell
or
the
Freer
Science
Building.
Classrooms
echo
the
sounds
of
discussions,
lectures
—
and
the
occasional
(learned)
argument.
Labs
get
their
share
of
overtim
e
as
notebooks
are
carefully
readied
for
finals
and
some
of
our
professors
sit
in
their
book-lined
offices
plotting
summer
sab
baticals
or
special
advance
course
work,
working
on
grants
or
meeting
with
their
students.

are
in
a
meeting,
as
PSC
students,
faculty
and
staff
work
at
the
business
of
communicating.
Our
library
finds
itself
inspired
to
keep
cur
rent,
accurate,
thorough,
state-of-the-art
m
a
terial
available
for
our
students,
many
of
whom
feel
that
being
geographically
on
the

is
no
excuse
for
being
less
informed
about
the
world
they
plan
to
enter.
Further
down
past
the
maintenance
sheds
I
jog
past
the
readied
site
for
a
shed
soon
to
house
the
College's
new
sawm
ill.
There
are
only
4
educational
sawm
ills
east
of
the
Mississippi
and
our
faculty
is
very
excited.
I
'll
sometimes
see
Gould
Hoyt
about
—
usually
getting
in
or
out
of
a
truck,
going
somewhere
in
a
hurry.
He's
re
tiring
from
full-tim
e
teaching
this
year
and
I
'll
sorely
miss
him.
To
many
of
us
at
Paul
Smith's
he
epitomizes
the
rugged,
honest
individual
who
works
the
forests
of
Am
e
rica
and
educates
our
young
people.
He
was
the
very
first
person
to
welcome
me
to
Paul
Smith's.
Many
ears
have
heard
a
gruff
\Y
o
u
follow
me
on
this?\
and
I'm
sad
to
think
some
of
the
forestry
classes
of
'85
may
not.
Our
President,
Dr.
M
ille
r,
is
quickening
his
pace
as
he
strives
to
keep
PSC
strong.
In
his
office
as
early
as
6:30
a.m.,
he
works
daily
to
give
our
college
the
guidance
and
direction
it
needs.
W
ith
his
ever
present
jug
of
iced
tea
nearby,
he
meets,
w
rites,
listens,
tells,
wrangles
and
ponders.
Our
college
has
a
bright
future
thanks
to
his
efforts
working
in
tandem
w
ith
our
hardworking
Board
of
Trustees,
but
there
are
some
serious
issues
to
deal
w
ith.
Right
now
w
e
're
facing
a
decline
in
our
e
n
rollm
e
n
t
that
presents
us
with
some
not-
before-encountered
problems.
I'm
glad
I'm
not
in
his
shoes

s
till

Elsewhere,
things
are
going
just
about
as
you'd
expect
fo
r
this
tim
e
of
year.
As
I
return
ed
to
my
office
I
passed
two
or
three
prospec
tive
students
and
their
parents
off
on
a
tour
of
the
campus.
\P
a
u
l

firs
t
class
in
1948,\
the
tour

explained,
continuing
out
of

shot
up
to
the
Buxton
Gym.
Our
history
and
our
present
poured
out
to
these
young
peo
ple,
and
our
future
rests
on
their
shoulders.
Maybe
in
two
years
I
'll
w
rite
to
them
welcom
ing
them
as

e

i
—
I've
no
doubt
in
my
mind
they
would
be
proud
to
call
Paul
Smith's
their
Alm
a
M
a
ter.
Enjoy
your
Sequel.
It's
sent
to
you
in
an
ef
fort
to

today.
If
you'd
like
to
share
your
opinions
on
how

do
that,
please

I'd
