Greenville College is the kind of college one gets irritated with as a student and loves as an alumnus. Greenville is something unseen, a bit indescribable, beyond complete identification. One does not come by them easily. It takes a lot of years, and a lot of lives packed with interest and commitment. Traditions are not mass-produced and packaged.
Traditions come through sacrifice and loyalty and dedication.
I know what a faculty member gives up to teach at Greenville College. He's not in a federal poverty program yet, but on the other hand when the AAUP produces its institutional ratings of faculty salaries, Greenville gets grades like most of you are ashamed of in the classroom. I know what a student may surrender to come to Greenville College. For one thing your education costs you more. That means some sacrifice back home.
