Program attracts senior scholars
Staff Reporter
The 70-year-old Anderson said he particularly remembers the Depression during the early 30s because he was at KU then. He also knows the hardships of life in the United States during World War I and World War II from firsthand experience.
Anderson, 3603 W. 10th St., is one of 39 Senior Scholars auditing KU classes this semester.
The Senior Scholar program was developed by the Adult Life Resource Center in July 1976.

Anderson said he also did not try to contribute to classroom discussions.
"Most of the Senior Scholars are pretty good students and they really try." Duncan said.

Another Senior Scholar, Vedda Gibson, retired two years ago as assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at KU. She graduated from KU in 1934 with a degree in political science.
Gibson said the reasons she was auditing an Arts and Music of Asia class were her desire to visit Japan and her
