Book Description

Excerpt from Wellesley Stories Down slippery hillslopes, under crystal trees, and along converging snow paths toward Houghton Chapel trooped the hurrying students to morning prayers. Sunlight flashed on rosy faces without touching them to warmth, and shed upon the white meadow a blinding stream of light that rebounded to fill the air with brilliance. It was a morning to make one snuggle deep down into a collar and hide one's hands, stiff with the weight of books, in the folds of a golf cape. From the direction of the village came the coldest and noisiest girls, along the main avenue that fell through the blue shadows of a snow laden hemlock grove to the level of meadow and chapel. They skipped and ran and shouted and rolled in the snow, and otherwise boisterously proclaimed themselves freshmen. Their tones indicated disagreement.
