In a little wooden desk squeezed among the stacks in Lilly Library is a drawer. Open that drawer and drop into a conversation among Dukies that has lasted decades. With markers, pencils and pens, people have scrawled notes on the wood interior. Some simple: “Finals 2019” or “Multivariable calculus sucks.” Others inspirational – “You are where you need to be!” – or ribald. One, though, expresses something about Lilly itself: “Surrounded by all this knowledge … isolated between books … I become so much more MOTIVATED.”
