Wendy Cross of Malta came for her admissions interview on Tuesday with more than a smile.

She had a cake and on it she had written the inscription that appears over the Kappa Alpha gate at the south entrance of Jackson's Garden:

"Climb high, Climb far; Your goal the sky, Your aim the star"

The prospective student has a small baking business, explained Dan Lundquist, vice president of admissions and financial aid, who had cited the inscription in a letter to prospective students earlier this year.

"I was impressed that someone actually read the letter, thought about it and was moved to bake a cake," he said. "I can tell that we're really arriving."
