Did you attend the University of Illinois? I know that a fairly large number of SHS '58s did. In our day, only one U of I existed, the campus at Urbana-Champaign. Today the franchise has expanded considerably, to include Chicago and Springfield.
All fine places, but the U-C campus is big and also beautiful. In case you have forgotten, here's a handsome virtual tour of the place, to bring back some memories and also keep you informed on changes made. (Check out the "Hidden Treasures" page.)
No, I am not going to write about the Chief Illiniwek controversy. George Will just did that in the Washington Post. He is also a '58, from University High in Urbana. Small world.

Be sure to read George Will's article. Great comments.

The picture of the quad immediately brought back "a true Illini never cuts--a class or across the grass." I took (and still do)that seriously--even "stopped" our mailman from cutting across our lawn----eek, am I bad?

Thanks and good stuff, Will, and enjoyed the article by George Will, but I get entirely too emotional and upset when trying to reason or argue with the idiots who are trying to eliminate "The Chief". Sad sorry state of affiars!!
Go ILLINI, and long live the Chief!
