Back in the good ol' days
"In 1916, beards appeared mostly on professors; today they appear mostly on students.
"The skirts of the college girl then extended almost to the ankle; today they sometimes stop well short of the knee."
That was how Dr. James R. Killian Jr., chairman of the corporation at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Monday recalled some of the changes that have taken place in college during the past 50 years.
"FIFTY YEARS AGO the strum of ukuleles and of mandolin and banjo clubs could be heard on the campus; today the hi-fi sets amplify the music of the masters, sometimes with a volume that competes with the jets taking off at Logan Airport.
"If today we sing 'yeh, yeh,
yeh', then they sang 'yacka hula
hickey dula'; and one chronicler of the times noted that a true 'pop' song of 1916 was 'What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For.' . . .
Then, the students danced the fox trot or the tango to the music of player pianos; today, they frug to the Beatles, and some adopt their sheep dog haircuts.
"TODAY WE SEEM more shaggy than in 1916, but I suspect that appearances are deceiving.
"And in those conservative days, marriage was something to aspire to after graduation; today we have over 1,700 married students," he said.
Wins Isern award
Virginia L. Juergensen of Ellinwood has received the Edward H. Isern Memorial scholarship of $500 for 1966-67 at KU. The scholarship, established by Mrs. Marian Isern of Ellinwood in memory of her late husband, is presented annually to a graduating senior of Ellinwood High School for the freshman year.
History professor is given grant for British study in'67
The American Philosophical Society has made a grant to Dr. W. Stitt Robinson, professor of history, for research in England and Scotland during the spring and summer of 1967.
Dr. Robinson, who will be on sabbatical leave in the spring, will gather materials on the "Cultural History of the 18th Century Southern Colonial Frontier."
HE WILL CONCENTRATE on the little studied social origins, social structure and cultural interests that developed in such areas as religion, education and literature. His sources abroad will include the British Museum, British Public Records office, National Library in Edinburgh, and family records.
Besides the influence of environment in settlements of the Old West, Dr. Robinson notes there were two streams of migration that make this study significant—the east-west flow of English settlers from the established coastal areas of the United States, and the north-south migration primarily of non-English stock, including the Germans, Scotch-Irish, and others.
An attempt will be made to analyze the intermingling of these groups to determine the most significant social patterns and cultural ties.
