College life has always been filled with stress....... Homework with the books every night till dawn, exams, pop quizzes, dating, making ends meet, applying for loans and grants, extra jobs as fry cook at the local grill hang out, serving meals at the frat and cooking breakfast to get room and board, working construction jobs during summers to help with expenses and all that jazz to get an education without much help from Mom and Dad. Every once in a while you might have to take a break and unwind and then its back to the grind. But your time here at Marietta College will be time well spent.

NOTE: THIS BOX ALONG WITH THE OTHER MARIETTA COLLEGE BOX AND THE MOUND CEMETERY BOX HAVE GONE MISSING BUT WILL BE REPLACED AS A SERIES IN A NEARBY PARK OR LOCATION THAT HAS LESS EFFICIENT GROUNDS KEEPERS. THIS NOTE ALONG WITH THE MIA IN THE HEADING WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THAT OCCURS.

Please bring a stamp pad, your stamp, an old rag and a pen.
Difficulty: Easy
Terrain: Flat ground
Distance: Less than 100 yards to quest and back
Time: Less than 1/2 hour once you park the car.

Clues:
To find Essentials for College life you must first find your way to the Marietta College. (hint: its up Putnam away from the river about 4 blocks or so). Go to the walking entrance to the college at Putnam and 4th Street. As you approach the brick walls standing in front of the one on the left with the inlay in the brick which reads "Marietta College charter 1835" look to the right to the other shorter wall with the curved benches in front. Go to the bench closest to the nearby short brick upright and sit down for a rest next to the brick upright. Pivot on the bench 180 degrees until you are facing the shrubs in back of the bench. The Essentials for College Life black pouch is in the upper portion of the closest shrub. Discretely search the upper portions of the shrub and remove your quest. You can do the stamping right there on the bench and then please replace everything in the bag and reseal it well and then the bag into the pouch and replace the pouch back where you found it. Have a good boxing day as there are several more in the Marietta area.
