by Randy F. Jouben In the 1950 ' s students enjoyed the annual send off rally and dance. eton Hall began with a very small student body. The typical student was considered to be a selected young gentleman, who was trained in the graces of the Victorian era. In the roaring twenties student organizations grew. Students began to gather at sporting events and relished in the careless recklessness of the period. During the time of World War II, Seton Hall saw a small decline in registration. But when the war finally ended student life began to prosper and the college came alive! Students would go cruising after class in their blue jeans. Bobby-socks and pigtails began to appear as women started to attend the college in the Urban Division. The early sixties were marked by the same fun and careless wonder of being a college student, but as the Vietnam War came closer to home students began to develop a greater social conscience. The students protested the war openly in addition to protesting the university in general. Student activities in the seventies saw the establishment of The Pub and concerts by major artists like Billy Joel, The Beach Boys and The Pointer Sisters. Many of todays students appear to be more fashion conscious than socially conscious. Activities of the University have changed in order to meet their needs. Although the times have changed one thing about Seton Hall has not: The tradition of celebrating with our fellow students.
