“We find the picturesque (train) station crowded full of students with arms full of bundles. Where shall we go? What shall we do? There stands a sophomore. Oh, how we envy her! … See the hacks fly away bearing sophs, juniors and seniors to the rooms, which await them. We poor little freshmen are left behind to take care of ourselves as best we may, and we follow the crowd up the long street, shaded by majestic oaks and maples.”
— “Student Life in the University of Michigan” by Edith Lois Sheffield, 1889, from “A Book of Days; 150 Years of Student Life at Michigan.”
