A professor’s now-famous last words as he sent off St. Lawrence’s
first students to study abroad:
“Don't Mess it Up.”
The rhythm you’ll feel when you see this collection is the art whispering
“O God of All Creation,”

in late August, members of the various first-year colleges
donned coordinated t-shirts and launched themselves into
First-Year Cup competition, designed to forge college identity,
help the newest Laurentians learn about St. Lawrence, and
encourage them to become engaged with University life by
earning points for attending events on campus.
