"Tonight
was the Building of the Mound. I was
thrilled as usual, at the torchlight procession, with songs and yells. We few bedraggled-looking Seniors led the
procession, but the freshman class covered nearly a block.... Tonight all I can
see at the Moundbuilding was married couples, which didn't help at all.... I
think I'm the only engaged girl without a man on the spot."
----Letter
from my mother, Winfield, Kans., to my father, Protection, Kans., Friday, September
12, 1947. Southwestern College had a tradition of student bringing stones and
placing them together to build a mound. The school mascot is the Moundbuilders.
