Right place, right time, right person

On the cover:
For incoming freshmen, the toll of the Victory Bell at Convocation signals the official start of their lives as Green Knights. They have arrived in a new place within a new community, and at a new stage in life. This issue explores such moments of arrival.

A new station in life
A mixture of excitement and trepidation, common to all setting off on a new adventure, must have accompanied the Rev. Bernard Pennings, O.Praem., and his two Norbertine companions as they set off from Berne Abbey in the Netherlands on a chilly All Saints Day in 1893.
