BURTON NICK VEDO ‘19 | STAFF WRITER • Sometimes during the heat of the semester, it can be hard to remember that our professors have lives outside of research and the classroom. Similar to students, they have hobbies and passions that are non-academic. In an effort to illuminate the secret lives of our professors, The Bachelor continues it “Taking Notes” section with Patrick Burton, Associate Professor of Biology. Besides being the master of cnidarians and a tattoo connoisseur, Burton also has a unique taste in music not unlike many Wabash students. Q) What music genre do you listen to the most? “I mostly listen to classic rock and roll, and alternative music.” Q) What are your top 5 bands from your favorite genre? “Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam are my favorite bands, and I like Barenaked Ladies, Stone Temple Pilots, and Dave Matthews band as well.” Q) What concerts have you been to? “ I have seen Bruce Springsteen live four or five times, and I have seen Pearl Jam. Also, I’ve seen a range of other groups like Metallica, who are great live, and Barenaked Ladies more times than I can count. I grew up in Buffalo, New York and since the Barenaked Ladies are from Canada
they would come to Buffalo all the time when I was growing up.” PHOTO COURTESY OF RELIX.COM Q) Have you always been into alternative and rock? One of Dr. Burton’s favorite bands is Pearl Jam, which he’s seen in concert several times. “I have pretty much always been this way.” Q) What was your favorite concert that you have been to so far? “I went to see Springsteen with my dad, because he is a big fan also, Q) At performances are you moshing in the pit or observing from the and that was pretty neat since they had the whole band together. seating area?

FROM TRADITIONS, PAGE EIGHT for a week, or in more extreme cases of subversion, getting a “W” haircut. Such rules and their punishments saw push back from time to time. A Letter to the Editor attributed to E.W. Mace published in The Bachelor in October of 1929 replies to a previous opinion piece calling for the abolishment of the “W” haircuts. In the letter, Mace assures the Wabash Community that “...this traditional practice of giving the rhynies hair-cuts will not be abolished as long as there are upperclassmen who feel that the rhynies should be kept from being so damned cocky.” The requirement for rhynies to wear pots, and most of the other rules associated with freshmen orientation, were abandoned as college-wide practice by 1968. Soon thereafter in the early 1970s, compulsory chapel attendance was controversially scrapped after a series of student protests against the mandate. Another bygone Wabash tradition is the observance of Elemore Day, a holiday in which on a particularly beautiful fall morning the President of the college would cancel all classes and dedicate the day to leisure. The holiday is named after James Buchanan Elemore, an early 20th century poet from nearby Alamo, IN famous for soliciting his lackluster poetry in and around Crawfordsville. The practice ended after the departure of President Thaddeus Seymour from the college in 1978. Wabash traditions come and go. For every old one that dies, whether it fades away or is abruptly killed, a new one will likely arise. An old jokes goes that if you do something once at Wabash, it’s an abomination. If you do something twice, it’s a tradition. If you do something three times, it’s how Caleb Mills intended it to be. “Not walking through the arch is a neat tradition, but I don’t think it’s nearly as important as the tradition that this is the kind of place where faculty and students take each other’s ideas seriously,” Brian Tucker ‘98, Associate Professor of German, said. “That, to me, is the bedrock tradition of this college. If students started walking through the arch tomorrow, Wabash PHOTO COURTESY OF WABASH ARCHIVES would still be Wabash.” Today’s students know some former traditions, but many traditions remain unknown.
