As the new school year begins, the Delft University of Technology makes its new students feel welcome. Musical entertainment, games and other festivities in Market Square encourage the students to join clubs and participate in sports and activities.
These photos were taken during the school's welcome day in August, 2010. At the time I was too busy to post them. I decided to post the images now, as they're representative of the sort of warm reception incoming students are given in Delft.
Two of the city's most famous landmarks - Nieuwe Kerk and the Town Hall - and environs are viewed from a unique vantage point.
"The one real object of education is to have a man in the condition of continually asking questions." ~Bishop Mandell Creighton
I would say the welcome to school is colorful! Love the quote about "continually asking questions". Oh how I wish more people continually asked questions, learned, and grew, instead of sitting dormant.
