| Dedication Day Approaches 
 ON SEPTEMBER 24, ºù«ÍÞÊÓÆµ honors
            its past and celebrates its future with “Dedication Day” events.
            At 11:45 a.m., the University will dedicate its historic circular
            driveway on lower campus, renaming it Tiffany Loop after Orrin Tiffany,
            second president of Seattle Pacific, and his wife, Grace English
            Tiffany, beloved dean of women. Grace Tiffany served as housemother
            in the
early 1900s in the “Ladies’ Dormitory,” later named Tiffany Hall and demolished
in 2001, following earthquake damage, to make way for the construction of a new
 science facility.
 
 After an old-fashioned picnic in Tiffany Loop, Seattle Pacific’s
Science Building will be officially dedicated at 1:00 p.m., followed by tours
of the facility’s high-tech labs and classrooms. Alumni and friends are
welcome to
participate in the day’s events. For more information,
call 206/281-2100.

 From the President
 Americans today are searching for a new tone for their lives. “We
              are talking here about another set of values — not the giddy sense
              of entitlement that emerges out of exuberant times,” says President
              Philip Eaton.

              his bachelor’s degree from Seattle Pacific. His grandson,

              same day. [Campus]

 My Response
 After 25 years, Joyce Quiring Erickson, retiring professor of English and
              dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, reflects on glossy brown
              chestnuts, home and the Promised Land.
