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. -

Unsurprisingly for a group of representatives from 21 states with varying political, socioeconomic, and geo- graphic contexts, they had divergent goals. Yet, with the exception of Cuba’s delegation, they all agreed on why they were there: Havana’s alignment with “extra-continental communist powers,” along with Fidel Castro’s announce- ment on 1 December 1961 that he was a lifelong Marxist-Leninist, had made Cuba’s government “incompatible with the principles and objectives of the inter-American system.” A Communist offensive in Latin America of “in- creased intensity” also meant “continental unity and the democratic institu- tions of the hemisphere” were “in danger.”1 After agreeing on these points, the assembled officials had to decide what to do about Cuba. -
