- I ' fv vjMkM «« y . S ' Davidson - ' - Nostalgia Davidson opened early in September, so on the appointed day in 1919, I set off by local train from Easley (S. C.) taking a trunk containing all my belongings. The journey to Charlotte took four hours . . . There were two trains a day which ran to Davidson, 22 miles from Charlotte, or 50 minutes by train. The little town of Davidson had about 1,500 inhabitants at that time, the great majority of whom were connected in some fashion with college activities. In 1919, there were no paved roads or streets in or around town. When I entered college, the number of students in all four classes was around 425; of these, 1 74 were in my class. There was a big attrition year by year, and only 82 gradu- ated with me in 1923. —Dr. Hugh H. Smith Life ' s a Pleasant Institution: The Peregrinations of a Rockefeller Doctor Davidson still opens its doors to students in early September. Passenger trains, how- ever, no longer stop in Davidson. Instead, students carrying an odd assortment of trunks, suitcases, stereos, Walkmans, and refrigerators arrive by plane, automobile, and bus. The town of Davidson now has about 3300 inhabitants, many of whom are con- nected with college activities. In 1984, there are paved roads and streets both in and around town. The number of students in all four classes hovers around 1350. There is no longer such a large rate of attrition; in 1984, 350 seniors completed graduation exer- cises.
