The Fountain

By: Paige Kleinfelder '14


For the past few days the temperature has crept higher and higher, causing EC students to try to find ways to keep cool. The Campus Center and Library are always good places to consider because these two buildings have air conditioning. But, with meal card amounts dwindling, staying in the Campus Center can lead to buying extra snacks and having no money for the last few days. The library poses problems, as well. First there is the problem that if you don’t have anything academic to do, you feel out of place. Then, if you are anything like me, warmer weather has brought out your louder side, which is not well accepted in places that are meant to be quiet and reserved for studying.

However, my friends and I have found a refuge from the early summer heat while still enjoying being outside. The Elmira College Fountain!


There have been dozens of class gifts, going back to the beginnings of the college, but the fountain, the class gift of 1951 and 2001, is by far my favorite. Whether I just want to sit and read a book with my feet cooling off in the water or need a place to meet up with friends, the fountain is the perfect place.


Everyone enjoy the last few days of Term III and I will see you in the fall!
