Old bottles, new wine

With the ton speakers this year there will be rich diversity. Old bottles perhaps, but new wine, and the drinking is the most enjoyable part of it all. If you want to you can tire the sun with talking and carry that afternoon's argument with Dr. X on through the night till the next morning and through till breakfast, and maybe start again in the afternoon.

If you're a little timid, don't worry. You may not have much to contribute, but you'll find you can say something sooner or later. Even just listening to the pearls of wisdom dropping can be quite beneficial.

After all, apart from the lecturers and their families, everyone else is a student just like you, with problems just like yours and this is just the place to get things straightened out and compare notes.

Or perhaps you are not crazy, mixed-up and twisted, like most of the students I know. You haven't got any problems, intellectual or otherwise, and everything is quite cut and dried as far as your life is concerned. Good. Come along and help the others. They need people like you.

Don't think there is an intellectual power-house atmosphere permeating every activity, though. Life at Curious Cove—how aptly that place is named!—has its many diverse diverting divertissements.
