A college education at Hobart means many things. It means registration and exam periods, pledge pins and Phi Beta Kappa, Spring Weekend and a date at Terry’s. Here are those things we have seen done and have done. This has been our “Hobart Educa- tion”. INSTRUCTION The G. I. enrollment began to drop in our freshman class but there were still a lot of vets left. . . We were hardly settled when an ex- history prof from Columbia, Dr. Alan W. Brown, was inaugurated as Hobart’s 17th president. . . As tail-enders on Sophomore 15- hour Western Civ, we just about froze our ears off listening to Brooks Otis sneeze his way through the eschaton during John L. Lewis’ Coal Miners strike. . . Things began to look bad for the Class of ’52 as the Korean War rode full tilt into our Junior Year. . . “Draft”. “1-A”, and local boards” became as personal as a body blow. . . And we got just plain scared... Some of us, like Bill Preston, en- listed, others of us like Mickey McMahon and Don Beverly were recalled and got an expense- paid trip to Pusan. . . Most of us just hung on and tried to figure out Kant. . . Thinks looked better in our Senior Year and the Air Force put an R.O.T.C. unit in one of the old bar- racks. . . Some of us like Dave Mooney and Jack Ashworth had hopes fora commission. . . All of us seemed to have three chances; grad- uate school, O.C.S., or just plain camp. 32
