You all have come here from all across the country to study, to learn, maybe have a little fun along the way

from freshman year in Adams or Younge Hall to those late night food runs to The Coop.

I did my research. To those mornings you woke up early to get a spot under The Shed to watch the Golden Tigers play.
对于这些，我事先都做了功课。我还知道你们有时早起是为了找一个有利的位置看橄榄球队比赛。
Yeah! I’ve been watching! At the White House we have all kinds of ways.
是啊！我都知道！在白宫，我们可是有很多门路的。
And whether you played sports yourself, or sang in the choir, or played in the band, or joined a fraternity or sorority

leaders like Robert Robinson Taylor, a groundbreaking architect and administrator here who was recently honored on a postage stamp.

men and women who came to this city, seized their own futures,
