Hfe Most Saturdays at OU in the fall of 1960 brought people by the bleachersful to the stadium. And most of those Saturdays brought the band back home with turned-around hats. It brought people back to classes, and filled the bookstores with people who emptied them of books. There were last-time picnics to try to stretch the summer out, and there were autumn smells and Indian summer and rain. It meant elections of class officers whose number had been reduced by Student Council. It was the starting in again by the people who made OU.

- H CO W O s o 1960 If is people, not books and buildings, who make a university . . . people in cycles of four years, so that the university is as changeable as the human personality is varied. This is the story of the people who made OU in I960 . . . they recognized Cutler Hall as a symbol, they worried about time and the lack of it, they were Greeks or they weren ' t but they were all people moving in the same direction. It was a step-by-step direction. It included things like a trip to Louisville for an OU first as far as sports went; it was the first year of the long hike from the Education Building to the Life Science Building. It was when Louis Armstrong and Robert Frost were on the same stage in the same week. It was Carousel and the first political convention. There was a scandal that began to make a lot of people realize just what alma mater meant, and a new pride grew in OU. All of it, the people and the books and the buildings, were Ohio University, I960.
