CHEER

Chords played on the organ ringing through the stately halls of the bustling Union building…

Hordes of eager people descending upon the Hall of Music for another thoroughly enchanting edition of Al Stewart’s Christmas Convocation…

The sights and sounds of Union Around the World as geographical and linguistic barriers are overcome in the true spirit of the holiday season…

Airplanes frantically trying to land at the socked-in Purdue Airport…

Gazing with awestruck wonder at the Christmas card–like splendor of leafless trees flocked with snow…

A certain joy and warmth shared by everyone on the campus that is at once unexplainable and yet terribly wonderful to experience and behold…

Purdue at Christmas…how fleeting and ephemeral it all is…
