Description
When I first witnessed this institution I kept seeing the steeple and I said, "I would like to go there one day." ... Once I got here I said, "This is the number one college, this is great to be here! ... I need to be learning something here myself." This statement comes from an Environmental Services technician who once traveled on the train past Swarthmore College on his way to another job. He recognizes college as a place of "learning something" and he wants to "go" to this college. Although he has come here to take a job as an Environmental Services technician (formerly called housekeeping and custodial work), he says, "I need to be learning something here myself." He is coming here to place himself among others in a learning community, the local capital or "fund of knowledge" (Moll, 1992), not just to clean buildings.
