WINTER 2013 | ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE 1
On the cover:
For nearly 90 years, the Candlelight Service in
Gunnison Memorial Chapel has been one of
St. Lawrence’s most endearing traditions.
Marking both the holiday season and the
winter solstice with its promised return of longer
daylight, it also ushers in the turning point of the
academic year. Traditions infuse this issue of your
St. Lawrence
magazine.
