Stories - told without a word spoken. Musings - gloriously free of a 140-character limit. Sentiment

- expressed sans emoji. Pictures - painted with pens instead of brushes.

From the personal correspondence of alumni and presidents, a treasure trove of which is to be found in the Special Collections and Archives of Z. Smith Reynolds Library, to a loving note handwritten by Katharine Reynolds to her ill husband, R.J., preserved at Reynolda House Museum of American Art, to a North Carolina boy’s eloquent account of evening on the Old Campus found in G.W. Paschal’s “History of Wake Forest College,” these engaging letters, presented as they were originally written, offer glimpses into people and places, illuminating perspectives we may have never imagined - nor enjoyed.

Read the lines, then read between the lines. Things written, as well as things inferred, reveal the everyday and the extraordinary.

Compiled by CHERIN C. POOVEY (P ’08) and MARIA HENSON (’82)

“There is no place like Wake Forest at night. The stillness of the graveyard

possesses the whole outdoor establishment. It is now night — the pale face

moon is shining beautifully, and all without is absolute solitude — save when

a solitary student is heard winding his way with a pitcher in hand to the well

— soon again all is silence. O what a place for meditation! — how calm, how

still — nothing but the gentle breeze stealing among the dead leaves as they

hang upon the trees. But hark there sounds the deep notes of the bell — ’tis

nine o’clock. Now listen — how soft and melodious are the tones of those

flutes — how beautifully do they harmonize with those of the violin — the

sharp hissing sounds are from the Dulcimo. Moonlight and music! — but

enough. There’s no place like Wake Forest. Good night.”

—— From a letter published April 1, 1835, in the Biblical Recorder written by George Washington, a student from Craven, North Carolina, Vol. I, p. 85.

“There’s no

Wake Forest.”

Three letters, excerpted in GEORGE WASHINGTON

PASCHAL’S “History of Wake Forest College,” paint eloquent pictures of what it was like to be a student, a missionary and a future president in the 1800s.

A tour de force, loving and lovely piece of work. From every angle, not just a magazine, more an artifact of pure art. Congrats.
