A FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE . . . RIT Vice President Emeritus Alfred Davis showcased his knowledge of RIT in a talk to the community, Sept. 17. “Memories of Influential Men and Women in RIT’s History” discussed RIT’s early history and those who believed in RIT and helped make the university a reality.

UP, UP IN THE AIR . . . Patrick Goodell, a second-year finance student in the College of Business and a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, waves to passers-by on his shift during Pole Sit 2003.

ARTISTRY IN MOTION . . . A collection of digital photographs taken by David Perlman, professor emeritus, are now on display in Ingle Auditorium and Fireside Lounge in the Student Alumni Union.

CLIMBING THE WALLS . . . Classes had yet to begin, but 500 first-year Kate Gleason College of Engineering students were already climbing the walls during Engineering Day 2003 on Sept. 2. In addition to rock climbing, activities at Long Acre Farms in Macedon included traversing a corn maze and finding clues to build “flying machines” to mark this year’s 100th anniversary of flight. “Our goal was to engage the students, team-build and have a memorable day. We achieved that and more and a good time was had by all,” says Harvey Palmer, dean of the Kate Gleason College of Engineering.
