| It was a reunion
for the ages. All ages, that is. A record-setting
5,440 Cardinal alumni and their 2,539 guests turned
out for Reunion Homecoming in October—everyone
from the Class of 2002, which joined in Saturday’s
recent grad reunions, to the Class of 1929, represented
at Sunday’s Cardinal Society lunch. For the first
time, students were included, too, as sophomores, juniors
and seniors lunched alongside graduates at the Saturday
tailgate.
Alumni socialized at class parties, attended some 76
Classes Without Quizzes and the faculty roundtable,
“Power of Influence, Influence of Power,”
and cheered the Cardinal on (in vain, alas) at the football
game against Washington State. And more than a few took
pleasure in simply reconnecting with the day-to-day
of student life. As Jenny Davis Young, ’88, wrote
in her class scrapbook, “Falling asleep on the
comfy chairs in Green, dodging bikes at the Post Office,
throwing paper airplanes in MemAud—feels like
I’m 18 years old all over again!” Mission
accomplished.
