In a little under three weeks it will be Freshman Saturday – August 22, 2009.  We’ll welcome a new class of Wabash men (the Class of 2013!) and their families into the Wabash community.  Seems like Commencement was just last week.

The summer of 2009 will melt into the football season of 2009 and Homecoming, with Chapel Sing and our first-ever Wabash Law Reunion, is just around the corner.  Of course, we’ll also dedicate the new Kappa Sig House.  Odds are we’ll see the Senior Bench painted in a similar fashion that weekend.

We wonder sometimes, how we’ll ever replace the Wabash faculty legends – the Ben Rogges, Vic Powells, Bill Plachers, Eric Deans, and Jack Charles.  But we find a way to do so.

We also wonder about replacing the young men who just graduated – the stellar campus leaders who are now alumni – guys on their way to grad school, med school, law school, and the business world.  Who will fill those leadership voids?

But we’ll find a way to do so.  

That’s the neat thing about the memories of the golden years at Wabash – we all have our own gold set!
