Fulbright scholar studying Asians in Africa

Tae-Sun Kim, '96, calls the five months she spent in Zimbabwe in 1995 as part of a Lawrence off-campus study program "the most amazing experience of my life." Thanks to a grant from The Fulbright Program, the U.S. government's premier scholarship program, the experience is continuing; Kim returned to Zimbabwe this summer for a year of independent research. An anthropology major from Portland, Oregon, Kim was awarded a Fulbright Full Grant, worth approximately $30,000, to conduct research on Asian migration into southern Africa. In addition to that research, part of which will involve interviewing upwards of one hundred Asian families, the grant will enable her to take classes in African history and indigenous languages at the University of Zimbabwe in the capital city of Harare. Large numbers of Chinese, Japanese, and Indian immigrants came to southern Africa in the late 19th century as indentured servants. Today, Zimbabwe has one of the highest populations of Asians of any African country. "Most previous research has been done on Asian communities in the western hemisphere," explains Kim, whose parents immi­ grated to the United States from North and South Korea. "The standard of living of most Asians is actually higher in Zimbabwe than it is in their native countries. I'm interested in study­ ing why certain Asian immigrants assimilate themselves into the African culture more readily than others." lcovERI

Each of us has our own Lawrence University. The Lawrence you remember and cherish may be very much like someone else's, but it can never be the same.

This sesquicentennial year seems a good time to explore some of these individual Lawrences-private, personal places made of memories. In the following pages, alumni and alumnae write affectionately of their college days. , And, although each is different, we think you will find that there is at least one common theme, a unifying point of view that might be stated thus: "Lawrence is home. Lawrence people are family. Memories of Lawrence make me smile." (N. B. , if you substitute "Milwaukee,Downer" for "Lawrence" in the preceding sentence, it holds just as true.)

6 Esther Graef Hamilton, '20 During my four years attendance at Lawrence (1916~ 1920) I lived at home-over a mile from the campus. In rain, shine, or snow I walked (or ran) to eight~ o'clocks, carrying the textbooks I had studied during the night before, a brown~paper sack of lunch, and Mother's good~bye kiss. Frequently I would be told of a sorority tea or some other social activity scheduled for the afternoon, which necessitated rushing home in the early afternoon to change into better clothes and white kid gloves. Later, back home ... the president informed me again for an early dinner, followed by another trip to campus rJ for library study. that, when my date signed / Miraculously, I always arrived on time-and graduated with an acceptable grade~point average and a B.A. in both English in on Saturday night, the and mathematics. I taught the latter for years in senior high schools. Ormsby monitor had smelled rOlin E. Jessup, '30 beer on her breath. I first met President Henry M. Wriston when I was in the library waiting to register for my classes. I intro~ Olin Jessup duced myself and told him that Coach Mark Catlin had told me to tell h im that he should give me a football scholarship. The look he gave me made me shudder, and I got away in a hurry. I later learned that he hated football. After a football game in 192 7, Coach Catlin told me that President Wriston had told him during the half that he should take Jessup out of the game-he plays too rough. "What did you tell him?" I asked. The coach said, "I told him to get the hell back up in the stands where he belonged." In the fall of 1929 I had a car for Saturday night and made a date with an Ormsby Hall girl. We had our date, and I took her back so she could sign in. Monday morning I received a telephone call and was told to report to Dr. Wriston's office at 1:00 p.m. When I did, the president informed me that, when my date signed in on Saturday night, the Ormsby monitor had smelled beer on her breath. I denied any stops for beer, and then I told him that Saturday after the football game, a Blatz Brewery man was at the gate, passing out samples of Blatz Gum, a new product that tasted like beer. Nevertheless, he suspended me from all classes. On Wednesday I was informed that I could return to my classes. He must have checked and found that I had told him the truth. In June, 1930, after I had received my sheepskin, I left the Chapel and walked toward College Avenue. I saw Dr. Wriston on the sidewalk ahead, but I couldn't avoid him. As he approached, he stuck out his right hand and said, "Well, Jessup, the war is over."

7 Elmer A. Otte, '36 Mid-term in 1931-32 I arrived at Lawrence on a Henry Wriston "Depression scholarship." I was twenty-one and had just come from a cub reporter job on The Green Bay Press-Gazette. Now I was sell­ ing shoes in Kaukauna, which I continued to do while at Lawrence. Each job paid $8 per week. Ted Cloak was my speech mentor, and Howard Troyer tried to tone down this overblown writer. For me, each assignment was double, one for class and the other for tutoring after class. Troyer beat on me, made me simplify, write tighter, and use irnages. I owe my career success to them and others at Lawrence: forty years in advertising, always writing; author of nine published books, three new this year. Besides author and poet, I have been blessed as a lecturer, including presenting world papers in Rome and San Francisco. If it were not for my Lawrence experience, I might still be selling shoes. Lawrence turned me into a lifetime student. That's a better fit for me.

Paul F. Schmidt, '39 The most meaningful experience of my years at Lawrence, 1935 to 1939, was a tutorial course taught in my second year by then-Professor Nathan M. Pusey. In a quiet but deliberate fashion I was exposed to the satisfaction in completely understanding a subject that he had proposed. He taught me to approach the subject from all sides and facets. That year's study under his direction became a part of my life; it accounted, If it were not for my in great part, for any personal and business success I have achieved. Thank you, Dr. Pusey, thank you very much. Lawrence experience, Gerald J. Grady, '43 I might still be selling shoes. For nearly all of my adult life I have been involved in higher education, and among the best years were Elmer Otte those at Lawrence. There were great teachers, great students (thinkers and doers, we were), great teams (any better than the '42 football team?) and coach­ es (Bernie Heselton), a meaningful Greek system, valuable con­ vocations, great plays (John Disher, '43, in Our Town) and concerts (Marian Anderson), negotiated changes (new drinking rules and a student judiciary )-all that and more. And throughout it all

8 there were constant thoughts of war: of loved ones killed, of battles won and lost, and about when it would be our turn to serve our country. Two memories: • The 1943 Interfraternity Sing, Lawrence's first, and before a packed chapel. All fraternities and sororities participated. They practiced so much that practice hours had to be restricted. The Milwaukee Journal covered it (thanks to "Jenks"). Yes, the Betas, that "singing fra~ ternity," were a winner. And in the glow that followed the concert, Dean Tom Hamilton said to me, "Thanks, Gerry, this meant a lot for Lawrence." • Our student government was sue~ cessful in getting the administration's approval to hold a referendum among the women to obtain more liberal "hours." The proposal was defeated! I asked my girlfriend, "How could this happen?" Her answer: "Gerry, sometimes we want the evening with you men to end sooner." We agreed that sometimes we men felt the same! The 1940s and 1950s were great years in our country, and those who graduated then should be proud for being part of it. There have been some difficult times since then, but-as we learned at Lawrence-reason and commitment, truth and love will prevail.

Betty Domrose·Brown Still vivid as yesterday, though, is the memory of those dedicated women of the faculty-radiating a love of learning; presenting, each one, a shining example of scholarly achievement; opening windows of experience and imagination; persisting in encouragement, insisting on excellence.

And others, of course-bestowing gifts that last a lifetime.

9 George VanderWeyden, '48 I had returned to the Lawrence campus in 1946 after serving in the military. My vocational goals were still unclear, until Professor George Walter, '36, persuaded me to enroll in a general education course that he was teaching. Almost immediately, I was filled with a At Lawrence I was allowed sense of purpose and desire for a career in teaching.

He touched my life in a very special way.

Susan Herr Engberg Nancy M. Stowe, C'61 About ten o'clock one evening in 1960 I stepped out of the old Carnegie Library after an evening of study, to head back to Colman Hall. I was enchanted with the sight: a gentle snow had begun to fall, and it was one of those lovely, quiet winter evenings. The real enchantment lay, however, in the sense of timeless~ ness I experienced. I had a very vivid sense that I was sharing this moment with my parents forty years earlier. Despite changes to other parts of the campus, everything I could see from the steps of the library was just as it had been then: Main Hall, the observatory, the old gym-all seen through a filmy curtain of lightly falling snow. That moment has become for me a symbol of the connection I feel to Lawrence, one that transcends any one moment, that pre~ cedes, and will extend beyond, my own personal existence. Susan Herr Engberg, '62 I must have known at least something about the art of con~ centration before I stumbled into Lawrence in the fall of 1958. Yet, as I compress those four years for their deep~ est value and sweetness, what I hold i the lesson of paying attention. To learn to be quiet and then even more quiet, to focus, to listen, to be aware simultaneously of an object of attention and of my inner exper i~ ence, to be patient and then more patient, a patient as necessary, while the essence is coaxed out-how this art has served me over the years! At Lawrence I wa allowed to learn it within the exemplary atmosphere of being paid attention to, of feeling that all the while I was learning to settle down and concentrate on becoming myself, I was being watched over with a kindly, focused regard.

10 Peter R. Jacoby, '67 I was just seventeen. I waved goodbye to my parents at the Geneva railroad station and got on a train headed south. I got off the train in Genoa and got on a ship. I got off the ship at New York and got on a plane. I got off the plane in Chicago and got on another plane. I got off that plane in Oshkosh and got on a bus. I got off the bus in Apple­ ton, collected my two large suitcases, and set off down College Avenue. When I reached Main Hall Green, I stopped. I was seeing Lawrence University for the first time in my life. The air was fresh, almost crisp. The sturdy stone walls of Main Hall looked warm. The smell was of grass and trees. Bright white clipper ships of clouds moved above me from left to right. Looking around silently, I sat on one of my suitcases, breathed deeply, and smiled. I had traveled eight thousand miles to somewhere I had never been before-something not uncommon for me, even at such a tender age-yet was comforted by knowing all was well, for I was home. No wonder I was smiling. Jacob G. Stockinger, Jr., '68 I don't think about my years at Lawrence, I hear them. I hear the energetic chants of pep rallies and anti-war demonstrations. I hear the crack of ricocheting bil­ liard balls on the pool table in the Viking Room. I hear the muffled voices of professors (especially I hear the muffled voices Gervais Reed, Anne Jones, and George Smalley) coming from behind the doors of their Main Hall of professors coming from offices while I stand waiting outside. I hear the latest record by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, or Bob Dylan echoing through hallways behind the doors of their of Plantz and T rever. I hear shakes mixing and burgers frying, while Clarence or one of the women behind the counter at the Union calls Main Hall offices while I out my name. I hear the jukebox at the Wursthaus and the pinball machine at Jim's Place. I hear the foreign language soundtrack of Sun­ stand waiting outside. day night Film Classics. And I hear the pinging bells of the UPI machine in the Union the night RFK was assassinated. Jacob Stockinger But the sounds I remember most came from pianos I played. I played the pianos in Ormsby and Sage and especially in Colman before and after dinner and in the Riverview Lounge when I didn't know where else to go. I once even played the Bosendorfer in President Curtis Tarr's home. But I never played a piano in town or in the conservatory (probably because I felt guilty about dropping out of it the first week of class my freshman year). I played Bach and Chopin mostly. N o one applauded, but they listened and I could tell they liked the music and liked me for playing it. At reunions, I still play

11 the piano and my classmates still listen and they never seem to hear the wrong notes. That's how it is when you play for family. Richard 0. Haight, '71 The seemingly insignificant events at Lawrence have reverberated throughout my life like the smooth melan~ choly notes of Professor Levy's hom in Blackberry Win~ ter. Lawrence is twice the size of my Iowa high school, and by midterm I still hadn't found my niche outside the classroom. Arriving one afternoon for my weightlifting class at Alexander Gym, I noticed my instructor, a senior named Mark Hoskins ('68), working out in the wrestling room with Harvey Takamoto ('68). Harvey was smaller but badgered Mark mercilessly as Who was the first he circled and dived for a takedown.

Then I read in the Lawrentian that Mark's son, Mike Hoskins, '98, had been named Academic All~ a coed dorm? American in wrestling. Marte Brengle, '72 Marte Brengle Here are some Lawrence Trivia questions: Who was the first Lawrence student to choose a room in a coed dorm? What record producer was once a Master of Trivia? In what magazine did the Annual Midwest Trivia Contest get its greatest exposure? What Biblical unit of measure turned out to be the right answer to a difficult question? I could also ask how many loud records I played to wake people up in my five years of announcing the second shift on the first night of Trivia, except that I don't remember. I do remember those weekends among the best times I had at Lawrence, though. • The answers? I was that pioneering J1. student; Bruce Iglauer, '69, the • { Master of Trivia; Playboy bared it all; and the radius of one Chapel pillar is a cubit-but that's a story for another day.

12 Deborah L. Anderson, '80 My first week at Lawrence included: a "computer" date with an upperclassman of a different race (they ran out of "compatible" freshman males), the information that my writing was not up to Lawrence's standards (I had been the "golden girl" of my high school English Main Hall Green always department), and an invitation to the Saturday night Phi Delt party ('nuf said) .

The Spoon and the Spade The spoon began as an award for the homeliest man on campus, but after its introduction in 187 6, it quickly evolved into an honor for the most outstanding man in the junior class, as voted by the seniors. Beginning in 1880, the spade, a comparable award for the most outstanding junior woman, was voted each year by the senior women. Both customs ended in 1971. A Lantern Night Lantern M·D Blazer Lantern Night was a seasonal Milwaukee-Downer students wore blazers in tradition at Milwaukee-Downer, their class colors from their freshman year when students would set forth, on.
