The thing that I remember from this picture is that this was the 3rd try in 2 semesters for having a house picture taken.. Ours was the only Residence left that had no picture to add on the wall for the year 1993/94, as each time they would take a picture, someone would have their middle finger up, and according to the university regulations, that picture is unacceptable to go on any residence's wall. Finally after much coordination every one tried to keep their middle fingers down this time and finally history recorded us as the proud rothermereans for the year 1993/94. This was my First year in the University and it is this Rothermere house where I made my best friends ever. Little history about the house: Rothermere House is named after the 1^st Honourable Viscount Rothermere of Hemstead. The 1st Lord Rothermere was the first Chancellor of Memorial University and the benefactor who provided the funds to construct Rothermere House, Memorial’s first Co-ed residence.

It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening......H.G Wells

"Of the gladdest moments, methinks, in human life, is the departing upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one effort the fetters of Habit-the leaden weight of Routine-the cloak of carking Care, and the slavery of Home-man feels once more happy. The blood flows with the fast circulation of youth, excitement gives new vigour to the muscles, and a sense of sudden freedom adds an inch to the stature. Afresh dawns the morn of life, again the bright world is beautiful to the eye, and the glorious face of nature gladdens the soul. A journey in fact, appeals to Imagination, to Memory, to Hope-the sister Graces of our moral being."
