Season's Greetings
Although it's still too early to sled down the Hill from
the Campanile to Potter Lake, Mount Oread takes on a festive
air this month with the annual Vespers celebration and the
lighting of the tree at the Outlook, the Chancellor's residence
at the end of Lilac Lane. On behalf of the University community,
the Alumni Association joins Chancellor Robert E. Hemenway
in extending warmest holiday wishes to KU families near and
far.

Warmest wishes from the Hill —
