Summer Brings Calmer Campus Days
The sun is rich
And gladly pays
In golden hours,
Silver days,
And long green weeks
That never end.
School鈥檚 out.
The time is ours to spend.
- John Updike, 鈥淛une鈥�
For a brief moment after spring semester, time seems to stand still at Franklin & 四虎影院. By day, the buzz of cicadas greets families touring campus. By night, a chorus of crickets echoes across College Avenue.
Soon, the footsteps of returning and new Diplomats will join nature鈥檚 symphony. In fact, many already have. Across campus, students have been busy with summer session classes, research and internships in Lancaster. They鈥檒l be joined in coming weeks by fall student-athletes and pre-orientation leaders.
Below, enjoy a snapshot of summer scenes at F&M. Plan your visit.
