more Dialogue — these are the only big changes we can safely relate. And if Swarthmore in 1964 is not what we would have had it, we have our- selves to blame : Dean Cobbs lectured on The Boith of Swarth- more College. The Freshman Class was called biggest and most diversified by Dean Hoy, and talented and delightful by Jerry Cotts. The Administration squelched the Poverty Conference, and Council squelched the Freshman Serenade. The Board of Managers decided that any Col- lege policy other than absolute temperance would violate State Laws. Centennial Scholars Constantinos Doxiadis, Hermann Muller, and Gunnar Myrdal told us where we are and where we are going. SAGA revolutionized the pantry and won the praises of the eating public. SPAC war correspondents wrote from jail cells in seven states. Rumors circulated about a new Dining Hall dress rule coming up in the fall. Haverford football captain John Aird brought jeers by rashly predicting his team would whip Swarthmore by two touchdowns. Jed RakofFs makeshift sociology department drew overflow crowds. Ville barbers yielded to organized student protests, and Dirk Rezelman resisted them. Lacrosse and Tennis won MASCAC titles, and Soccer was shaded by a nose. WSRN, the Radio Voice of Swarthmore Col- lege, once again cleared its throat and made sounds. Courtly Smite sold the College to the Ford Foundation for $3 million, in early April. Lois Thompson graced the Homecoming Weekend, and Anthy Doxiadis the May Festival. Evening open-houses in the dorms had their debut, with more promised for next year. The democratic processes finally settled on a Blue Route cutting through the virgin ( ?) forests of the Crum Valley ; birds and bees will be dis- placed by a six-lane highway. The Chain Letter ripped through Swarthmore, bringing hope and leaving destruction. The We-Work-It-In Jug Band pushed Mike Meeropols guitar into second place in the Delco Talent Show. Barkan, Foley, and Teush turned from writing to directing, in the One-Act Play Competition. National celebrity Rudolph Valachi declined the Cooper Foundation ' s invitation to sing in Clothier. The Centennial Fund yielded over $2 million more than the hoped for $10 million, but the tui- tion went up as usual. And last but never least, the 1964 HALCYON postponed publication four months in order to give its subscribers a more complete picture of the year. God Bless Us. W3 21

Presidents Smith and Johnson IC j l e United Nations moved into Cyprus. I Will) Moscow and Peking fought over the In- ternational Communist Movement. Nehru of In- dia died. And President Lyndon Johnson de- livered Swarthmore s Centennial Commence- ment address. Swarthmore in 1964 flourished under the guid- ing hand of President Courtney Smith, inaugu- rated in 1953. His goals for the College were in the same direction as those of President Ayde- lotte. He, like Aydelotte, served as United States Secretary for the Rhodes Scholarship. Unhappily, 1964 is too much a part of us to be placed into Swarthmore s history in its proper perspective. A larger faculty with higher salaries. a number of Ford grants, an outgrowth of beards and picket signs, some winning teams, a Blue Route, a 29-year-old Dean, and perhaps a shade 20
