Outtakes- Nick Rockefeller '10

Name: Nick Rockefeller

Major: Biology

Hometown: Topeka, Kansas

Personal Hobbies: Rockband, sky-diving, Frisbee Golf

Favorite Quote: In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering in innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the highest and most mendacious minute of "world history"—yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die.

One might invent such a fable and still not have illustrated sufficiently how wretched, how shadowy and flighty, how aimless and arbitrary, the human intellect appears in nature. There have been eternities when it did not exist; and when it is done for again, nothing will have happened.

Music Preference: Alternative Rock, Punk Rock, Reggae

Favorite Sports Teams: Kansas Jayhawks, Boston Red Sox’s, New England Patriots

Most Memorable Wabash Moment: My freshmen year when we took first and second in the Medley Relay against DePauw. This really set the tone for the meet which we ended up winning!!!

If he won a million dollars, he would…Hire my own Swedish masseuse for however long the money lasted!

Goals after College: Medical School then off to Residency in Neurosurgery or Ophthalmology

What would you tell any High School Swimmers looking into Wabash? It’s a place where you can fulfill both your educational and professional goals as well as make friendships that will last past college. The team camaraderie is something unique among college teams. To me, it is more like a brotherhood than anything else.

Any Last Comments: You have to High Kick it!!!
