Monday, June 04, 2007 Page 2 of 2 The year 1930 ushers in autumn, and Ye Friendly college welcomes the class of '34 with no sign of de- pression, in spirit at least Frosh numerals on the historic rock T H E and innumerable bonfires on Fire hill with the class of '33 as the slave- SENIOR drivers intent on keeping the home CLASS fires burning and the green-capped men and green-bibbed women busy The know-nothings bump- ing up against hard-boiled 'univer- sityism' in the person of Dr. Albert Upton whose love of dumb animals, at that time, extended only to Jer- ry Juniors alleviate sufferings of these mentally tortured neo- phytes with a steak dinner and dance at a wayside inn. Twenty-two women pledge soci- eties and Dean Triggs organizes a second men's society 'boaring' heavily into prospective Franklin ma- terial College Knights see the light of day and pick Dick Nixon and Harris to carry on the great work. Gone all humility only arrogance and a satanic ambition to go places when the half-baked pot-pourri return as sophs. The thespians in The Man in the Bowler Hat convince THOMSON Whittier College that its dramatic WELCH program is too narrow, hence the birth of the drama board of control. And the first spring festival in which said enthusiasts sell their alma mater for the first time. But things began to pop when the junior class play, Bird in Hand, starring Richard Nixon, opened the dramatic program of five annual major productions. And the world 'beyond the rock' began to take notice when the Poets barged through for three championships. All of which called for celebration dance programs, theatre stubs, orchids and sparklers putting in their appearance. Sheepskins after eight student body dances offered as part of the new social deal a sparkling theater party to see Francis Led- erer in Autumn Crocus, reawaken- ing all the little thrills of matinee idoling A swanky 'last' with our junior pals at the Vista del Arroyo dinner at the Harris home where the year's acting president spins his delightful idealisms of Arden and Dr. Dexter's signing the hard- won releases which don't seem de- sirable in quite the same sense they did four years ago for they are tacitly telling the goodbye to days of collegiate capering.

PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS 9 March 1969 Dear Miss Woods, I was sorry to read of the death of Dr. Nixon at State College. I was a colleague of his there from 1930 to 1937. You may be interested in what he once wrote to me: I can see that what you are doing in putting the puzzle together is exciting and intriguing. Perhaps all of us would do a better job of recording whence and whither, if we knew we might someday be placed before the public, beyond our own circle of co-workers or neighbors. There are many people interested in our president's forebears. The New Yorker is working on an article. Sincerely yours, Raymond M.
