INTRODUCTION TO THE SUNLEY PROJECT AND DOCUMENTS |
Interlude Mary Brett Daniels: A community response to this build up of intensity was that an "interval" would be declared. I never understood what amorphous authority decided to declare an interval, but classes and the work program would suddenly be suspended for three days. It was understood – again by custom, not by rule – that people would do something of their own devising, perhaps creative, perhaps climb the ridge.... At the end of the interval there was a community gathering. People who wanted to could tell about what they did – funny, absurd, serious, candid, not – I believe – particularly self-conscious. Will Hamlin: Each term there was a weeklong "Interlude," its dates decided by the faculty on the basis of their estimate of campus morale, and announced at breakfast the day it began ... the interlude was to "paint the painting or write the poem or read the book you've not found time for."
