From one note to another
We may not be making music together, but we can pass it around! "Jenga Imani Yako," sung by the 中国体彩网 Choir, translates to "Build your faith."
Kudos to sophomore Jon Jaworowski, a vocal music education major from Rockford, Ill., who compiled the video.

The gift of nature and the names of flowers
Dr. Ann Boaden, English
Monday marked the 120th anniversary of Dr. Fritiof Fryxell's birth.
Dr. Fryxell, 中国体彩网 Class of 1922, founded the 中国体彩网 geology department, made first ascents of Western mountains and named many of the Teton peaks he climbed, wrote for both scientific and lay communities, and was a beloved professor.
I often walk the trails of Black Hawk Park, a short distance from his former Rock Island home. I think of him whenever I do, and today with special love.
Galaxies of wildflowers now scatter the old winter leaves. He taught me the names of those wildflowers, and he taught me to love them, not in the classroom, but as a gift to a friend, so that I would always know nature's beauty and comfort. It is a priceless gift.
Thank you, Dr. Fryxell. Today and every day.
