Wendy Cross of Malta came for her admissions interview on Tuesday
with more than a smile.
She had a cake and on it she had written the inscription that appears
over the Kappa Alpha gate at the south entrance of Jackson's Garden:
“Climb high, Climb far; Your goal the sky, Your aim the star”
The prospective student has a small baking business, explained Dan
Lundquist, vice president of admissions and financial aid, who had cited the inscription
in a letter to prospective students earlier this year.
“I was impressed that someone actually read the letter, thought
about it and was moved to bake a cake,” he said. “I can tell that we're
really arriving.”
