It was a bright, blue sky fall day. Leaves were just starting to turn color in Indianapolis, but most were still very green. Butler students were in their classes as the halls and footpaths were relatively quiet by the time Krista and Ayrielle came to campus. If the calendar didn’t say it was September, you would have sworn it was still the summer term. We walked past the football stadium where we saw someone throwing a frisbee and meandered towards one of the cooler spots on campus – Holcomb Gardens. We reflect at the lake two of Indiana’s most prominent families and their impact on the university.

If you plan to do something to celebrate, we would recommend that you plan ahead. The Sunday we came to town students were moving out, a citywide marathon happened in the morning, church bells ringing, and the first warm wave came about. We didn’t plan ahead and were starving as we waiting in a never-ending brunch line.
