Returned last weekend to our small college on the prairie for our 50th reunion. Predominant unexpressed sentiment of the event: "Wow! What happened to us?" I occasionally had the sense we were in an episode of The Twilight Zone.

I remember as an undergrad observing the ancient ones at Homecoming with their name tags and class designation, padding about the campus, staring at the buildings and the students. It was sobering now to realize that those people were in school when Woodrow Wilson was president.
