It seems like the warm sun just brings out the kid in all of us. But there was a time when there was a real circus on campus.\u00a0The Royal Lichtenstein Quarter Ring Circus visited Wabash several times in the 70&#8217;s, 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s. Here is the best photo of all that I have seen. It really shows the delight of the audience members, young and old.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/04\/LichtensteinCircus-1978-04-14-p31.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1408\" alt=\"LichtensteinCircus 1978 04 14 p3\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/04\/LichtensteinCircus-1978-04-14-p31.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/04\/LichtensteinCircus-1978-04-14-p31.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/dearoldwabash\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/04\/LichtensteinCircus-1978-04-14-p31-300x109.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This Bachelor article from April 14, 1978 gives us a little background on this interesting touring group. And clearly they were a hit at Wabash based on the frequency of their return performances.<\/p>\n<p>And, whether or not it is officially a circus, on some warm sunny days here on campus, the mall is hopping with life &#8211; students and faculty who stop to chat with one another, Sphinx Club members doing air raids and Career Services taking their show to where the students are found.
