Traditions are a staple of any school, early or higher education. Whether it's something simple like Homecoming, or more complicated like school rivalries, traditions are an unspoken but fundamental part of institutions. In many ways, the traditions remain to be the most consistent elements of many universities and institutions. Most of the buildings here at Shippensburg have been greatly altered from their original state and in some instances are new additions entirely. However, weekends like Homecoming bring alumni back from decades before, and it’s traditions like Homecoming that give that connective tissue between the old and new generations of Shippensburg. School traditions provide a link between each generation that passes through the institution. Parents and relatives who graduated from the same high school or college are able to sing along with the alma mater since it is the same alma mater that united them all those years ago. Traditions need to be protected greatly to not only keep older generations connected to their schools, but to also remind younger students that they are continuing a legacy.
My father is socially liberal. Recently I asked him to rank the presidents during his lifetime and was surprised by his thoughts, mostly by how he described Ronald Reagan. Dad is aware of the ins and outs of the economy, which is what many cite as one of Reagan’s greatest strengths, and while he didn’t care for Reagan as a person, he doesn’t have this strong distaste for him that I and many younger liberals do.
