Every spring our Campus Services team plants red tulips at the front sign. Of course, that corner, the corner of Grant St. and Wabash Ave., is the semi-official start of the campus. The tulips never make it to Commencement, but they sure are a nice touch.

This year, they are just as nice as ever – with a small exception. We must have had soooooo much rain over the last couple of weeks that it washed all the red color out of the flowers and left us with, well, very, very light red, dare you say, pink tulips.

Wabash College – a liberal arts college for men – very light red tulips…
