  • Class of 1959 History by C
    Class of 1959 History By C. Darrell Lane, M.D. Franklin College founded in 1787 having united with Marshall College to form Franklin and Marshall College in the late summer of 1955 was 168 years old. In early September more than 360 first year students from multiple states and dissimilar backgrounds and representing more than 225 high schools converged on the F&M campus in Lancaster, bought books and supplies, received dormitory assignments, met new roommates, and paid the single semester $325.00 tuition. Total tuition listed in the college catalogue for the two semester 1955‐56 academic year amounted to the staggering sum of $1,310.00. The entire class assembled for the first time in Hensel Hall for welcoming remarks by President William W. Hall, Dean of the College James M. Darlington and Dean of Students Richard H. Winters. We were informed about a variety of conduct guidelines, academic performance expectations and procedural regulations. The freshman uniform of the day consisted of dinks and rolled‐up pants legs. Physical in‐hand possession of the college Blue Book was a required necessity. The mandated Hartman Hall dining room dinner dress code was jacket and tie. No mention was ever made apropos the laundering frequency of blue button down shirts or khaki trousers. At least from a distance we appeared respectfully civilized. Everyone carried an average of 16‐17 credit hours. We may have considered ourselves ill‐ used by compulsory chapel attendance on Tuesday morning, but, this obligation could be easily met by attending only six of ten possible choices, although September 15th and October 5th chapels were specifically designated for the Class of ’59.

  • Floods of 1959 in the United States
    FLOODS OF 1959 IN THE UNITED STATES SUMMARY OF FLOODS IN THE UNITED STATES DURING 1959 ABSTRACT This report describes the most outstanding floods that occurred in the United States during 1959. The floods of January-February in Ohio and adjacent States were the most outstanding floods of the year 1959 with respect to area affected, number of streams having maximum discharge of record, rare occurrence of peaks, and great amount of damage caused. Floods in the Rock River basin in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois during late March and early April produced maximum stages and discharges on many streams. The Rock River at Watertown, Wise., was the highest in 40 years and Lake Mendota at Madison, Wise., reached its maximum stage since 1916. Many towns were flooded and thousands of persons were forced from their homes. What is possibly the greatest 24-hour rainfall ever to be noted in Iowa fell August 5-6. The resulting floods inundated an 80-block area in Fort Madison, Iowa, and caused damage estimated at $600,000 in the city. A total of 130,000 acres of land was inundated. Major floods occurred in Texas in the upper Trinity, middle Brazos, middle Colorado, upper Guadalupe, and upper Nueces River basins in early October, following heavy general rains that covered most of Texas. The peak stage on North Bosque River near Clifton was the highest known since 1887. More than $1 million in damage was reported for Houston. In addition to the 4 floods mentioned above, 22 others of lesser magnitude are considered important enough to report in this annual summary.
