I'm almost two semesters into my F&M adventure! Since starting as president just before our incoming class arrived, I have been getting to know our people and our campus as rapidly as possible. The welcome I received and everything I have learned confirm my initial impressions: Franklin & Mar- shall is truly a superb liberal arts college, situated — to its great benefit — in the vital, appealing city of Lancaster.

\n\n

In my convocation address to our first-year and transfer students, I invited them to stretch in every conceivable way. That means stretching intellectually, socially, physically, and even spiritually, to move well beyond what they already know and take advantage of all the ways they can grow while at F&M. The ability to go well beyond the bounds of the familiar is the biggest opportunity students find in a fine liberal arts school like ours. If we do our jobs well, and if our students take responsibility for their own learning, four years of campus life under the guidance of our exemplary
\nfaculty will forge them into knowledgeable, engaged citizens and problem-solvers, more than ready to take on both problems and opportunities in the larger world. That’s what a great education is all about. Proof of its power shines in the accomplished seniors now midway through their last year, many of them working at what would be a graduate level in other schools. It shines in our alumni — in all of you reading this magazine — who demonstrate how a great education in any one of our majors prepares adults who can succeed in the world, no matter how we measure success.

\n\n

We have the same obligation to stretch as an institution. As good as we are, we need to avoid the temptation to hold steady, content with the impressive gains of the recent years. We need to find the balance between well-deserved confidence and the perpetual imperative to strive to be better. We must stretch to create and make space for emerging fields, even while nurturing our broad curriculum that spans the liberal arts. We must stretch to raise our endowment and our annual giving, both of which will support financial aid, enhance every student’s experience, and provide the resources to incubate the best ideas generated by this smart, creative, hard-working community of scholars.

\n\n

We have seen positive change in our talent strategy, our programs, and our national stature over the last decade. Those gains give us a chance to look ahead to new horizons and new opportunities for our people, programs, and facilities. What we offer is a culture of possibility. An F&M education is worthy of the best students everywhere and the steadfast support of everyone who found their voice here. We need to claim the distinction that is rightfully ours. I count on all of you to help us make the case.

\n\n

After almost two semesters on the job, I know my time at F&M is the richest, most mean- ingful professional adventure of my life. Thanks for traveling this road with me.

Thirteen years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, work to restore buildings and homes that were in its path continues. During winter break, 25 students and staff with Franklin & Marshall College’s Catastrophic Relief Alliance traveled south to help citizens of the Big Easy.

\n\n

For CRA, January's trip was the fifth visit to the Crescent City, and the first since 2008 that the students worked exclusively in the hard-hit Lower Ninth Ward, said Andy Gulati, an associate librarian for the sciences and CRA adviser. An area of considerable poverty before Katrina, the Lower Ninth has Lowernine.org and other disaster relief organizations guiding volunteer groups like CRA.  

\n\n

“Over our week of work, the students and staff worked at four homes, where we did roofing, siding, framing, and building awnings and stairs,” Gulati said. “We were fortunate to meet the homeowners we aided, and listen to their stories as we worked side-by-side. It can be so satisfying to get to know those you help, and to know that perhaps you made some measurable improvements to make their lives more comfortable.”

\n\n

This year’s group of students was the largest CRA has ever fielded. When they weren’t rebuilding, they visited the city’s French Quarter, listened to jazz, strolled the gardens and parks, browsed  art galleries, and enjoyed coffee and beignets at Café du Monde.

Consumer behavior is another field among his studies, and Podoshen has spent four years examining violent recruitment videos aimed at teenagers. A recent F&M graduate helped him in his analysis for his most recent publication and is listed as a co-author. He plans to work with two students on another type of video project in the summer.

\n\n

Podoshen is the only American on a team of mostly Canadian researchers led by Vivek Venkatesh, an associate professor at Montreal’s Concordia University and a UNESCO co-chair of the Prevention of Radicalization and Violent Extremism project. 

\n\n

Last fall, the research team received the third and largest grant to date for its research, $1 million from Global Affairs Canada. 

\n\n

Broadly, the researchers study terrorism, violence, violent extremism and social media, but in particular ISIS-produced videos directed at young Canadians and Americans, usually in their late teens or early 20s, who feel disenfranchised or out of place in their western societies.

\n\n

As a co-researcher, Podoshen works with a team of 15 academics, many multilingual, particularly in Arabic and French. “We examine these videos frame by frame, and analyze the techniques and explain why we think these techniques are working,” he said.

\n\n

The team includes former members of hate and terrorist organizations, among them “a former member of Al Queda, who now works with our team and the Canadian government to help strategize ways to combat this,” Podoshen said. “We also have two former right-wing extremists in Canada as well. We’re looking at hate in general.”

\"Whether you believe Rose has served his time or if you believe he remains a pariah to the game, ‘Banned from Baseball’ is worth seeing,” wrote Hal McCoy, who covered the Reds for 30 years. “[T]ake that from a guy who lived it in 1989 as part of the Dayton Daily News’ mostly exclusive coverage of a fallen idol.\"

At the time of Giamatti’s decision, Rose, the reigning “hit king” and Reds manager, stood accused of betting on baseball. He denied the charges in the face of mounting evidence, but years later, claimed he gambled only on his team to win, never to lose. 

\n\n

The play focuses on the battle of wills between Giamatti, who wants Rose to confess, and the ballplayer, who broke Ty Cobb’s all-time hits record in 1985 and wants the commissioner to believe his denials. 

\n\n

“Traditional Greek tragedies are about the fall from grace for a king, usually because of their pride or hubris,” Liz Eichler, reviewer for the League of Cincinnati Theatres, wrote. “’Banned from Baseball’ explores the hubris of two kings, Rose and Commissioner Giamatti, and delivers a compelling show, even for a non-sports fan.”

\n\n

O’Hara, a sports fan, teaches the course, Baseball in American Literature and Culture. She told Dayton.com, “This is a story that, in some ways, doesn’t end. What I found particularly compelling were its human dimensions and the ways in which it resonates in baseball history and problems with gambling.” 

\n\n

Recently, the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., added the playbill for “Banned from Baseball” to its library research collection. 

\n\n

“It has been catalogued and the record is available via our PASTIME system,” said James Gates, the library director. “It has been added to our archive of baseball-themed playbills.” 

\n\n

At Dayton’s Human Race Theatre Company, located in Reds country, president and artistic director Kevin Moore told Dayton.com, “This story hits home to so many in our region, and we are honored to be the ones to tell the story.”

As one of two African American girls at the private school she attended on Philadelphia’s Main Line, Lemke recalled the racism she faced daily. “Many people thought racism disappeared with [former President Barack] Obama, but I was living racism every day, sitting in classrooms where people didn’t think I was good enough or smart enough. I had to prove myself every day,” she said.

\n\n

Her perspective changed in high school. “I really started to realize that a lot of the hatred others had because of my skin color I started to put on myself,” she recalled. “I thought there was something wrong with me, but I discovered, ‘No, your curves are beautiful; your hair is beautiful; your skin tone is beautiful. These are things the world is telling you that are wrong about you, but they aren’t wrong about you.’ I started a Black Student Union in high school and when I came to F&M, I just wanted to keep the fire going.” 

\n\n

Lemke joined the College’s Black Student Union, where she served as vice president, led weekly meetings on racial diversity on campus, and pushed for activism and political action in Lancaster. In F&M’s Diversity Change Agents program, she runs weekly sessions for all student groups on the basics of diversity.

Christian Chun looks at how dominant discourses in social circulation operate to co-construct and support capitalism, and the accompanying counter-discourses that critique it.

Coffman ’96\n\n\nRecent poems and fictions set in the early Americas are typically read as affirmations of cultural norms or as contentious repudiations of received histories.

experiencing French history in the making  \nWe were not the only ones taking pictures in the 8th arrondissement Sunday morning, Dec. 2, after the third Yellow Vest Saturday national protests injured more than 100 in Paris, resulted in more than 400 arrests, and produced scenes of havoc and violence reminiscent of civil war.\n\n\nLike other neighborhood residents, we wanted to record the remains of a day when we watched casseurs wearing yellow vests set fires, stone police vans, and flee tear gas while helicopters circled overhead. The damage was widespread. Businesses large and small were vandalized; a veterinary clinic, pizza restaurant, and optician’s office lay open, their windows smashed and their contents rifled. A motorcycle carcass abutted a hotel where it had fed a large fire; cars, ATMs, construction sites, and banks were charred and destroyed. Yellow paint and graffiti, often obscene, were everywhere—Jail Macron, Macron Resign, and Misery. A social movement forged over Facebook to protest a heightened gas tax had burgeoned into a state crisis.\n\n\nStreet fires were not what we imagined would illuminate the City of Light when we moved here for a year. But as a historian of modern Europe, I should not have been surprised by the emergence of a class-based social movement.\n\n\nWorkers’ revolts have a long and storied history in France. From the French Revolution to the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, the Commune in 1871, and the August 1944 general strike that helped liberate Paris from the Nazis to the 7 million workers who struck alongside student protestors in May 1968, French workers claim a tradition of political street protest like no other Europeans. Historical markers in the city, including one at Place de la Bastille, salute workers who raised barricades and died for their cause. Such historical reverence reinforces the pride French laborers take in their successes. Indeed, they have secured hard-fought and far-reaching employment safeguards and benefits, making them among the most protected employees in the world.\n\n\nFrench workers don’t need to rattle off dates to be immersed in the country’s tradition of political activism and culture of the strike. The historical resonances of the Yellow Vest movement abound, from the invocation of French revolutionary cahiers de doléances and the Estates General to the warning to President Emmanuel Macron that “We cut off heads for less than this.”\n\n\nGraffiti makes explicit reference to the student-led uprisings that rocked the French state 50 years ago—May 1968, December 2018 and CRS = SS, equating the national police force with the Nazis. Indeed, when casseurs torched cars and dug out cobblestones from the streets, they mimicked the tactics of the “Sixty-Eighters” occupying the Sorbonne and fighting the CRS.\n\n\nThe shadow of history makes the recent damage done to the Arc de Triomphe all the more symbolically powerful and shocking. Yellow-vested protesters, singing the “Marseillaise,” surrounded the eternal flame of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before climbing atop the Arc de Triomphe while vandals spray-painted the monument, ravaged its museum, and damaged sculptural symbols of the Revolution.\n\n\nIt was telling that Macron visited the Arc de Triomphe immediately after returning to France from the G-20 meetings in Argentina. The product of an elite French education, the president is steeped in the French past, lacing his speeches with literary and historical lessons and references. His recognition of the crimes of the French empire, elaborate commemoration of the end of World War I, invocations of Europe in the 1930s, warnings against nationalism, and proposals to strengthen the European Union all rest on a personal conviction that the past matters and should guide current events.\n\n\nBut the pathos and victories of French workers are far easier to romanticize outside the chambers of the Palais de l’Élysée. The attacks on Macron – and on his wife, Brigitte – are reminiscent of the personalization of monarchical politics, when protestors lay blame for systemic and long-term failures at the feet of privileged individuals deaf to common concerns. Macron and his government certainly bear considerable responsibility for the current political crisis.

We were not the only ones taking pictures in the 8th arrondissement Sunday morning, Dec. 2, after the third Yellow Vest Saturday national protests injured more than 100 in Paris, resulted in more than 400 arrests, and produced scenes of havoc and violence reminiscent of civil war.

\n\n

Like other neighborhood residents, we wanted to record the remains of a day when we watched casseurs wearing yellow vests set fires, stone police vans, and flee tear gas while helicopters circled overhead. The damage was widespread. Businesses large and small were vandalized; a veterinary clinic, pizza restaurant, and optician’s office lay open, their windows smashed and their contents rifled. A motorcycle carcass abutted a hotel where it had fed a large fire; cars, ATMs, construction sites, and banks were charred and destroyed. Yellow paint and graffiti, often obscene, were everywhere—Jail Macron, Macron Resign, and Misery. A social movement forged over Facebook to protest a heightened gas tax had burgeoned into a state crisis.

\n\n

Street fires were not what we imagined would illuminate the City of Light when we moved here for a year. But as a historian of modern Europe, I should not have been surprised by the emergence of a class-based social movement.

\n\n

Workers’ revolts have a long and storied history in France. From the French Revolution to the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, the Commune in 1871, and the August 1944 general strike that helped liberate Paris from the Nazis to the 7 million workers who struck alongside student protestors in May 1968, French workers claim a tradition of political street protest like no other Europeans. Historical markers in the city, including one at Place de la Bastille, salute workers who raised barricades and died for their cause. Such historical reverence reinforces the pride French laborers take in their successes. Indeed, they have secured hard-fought and far-reaching employment safeguards and benefits, making them among the most protected employees in the world.

\n\n

French workers don’t need to rattle off dates to be immersed in the country’s tradition of political activism and culture of the strike. The historical resonances of the Yellow Vest movement abound, from the invocation of French revolutionary cahiers de doléances and the Estates General to the warning to President Emmanuel Macron that “We cut off heads for less than this.”

\n\n

Graffiti makes explicit reference to the student-led uprisings that rocked the French state 50 years ago—May 1968, December 2018 and CRS = SS, equating the national police force with the Nazis. Indeed, when casseurs torched cars and dug out cobblestones from the streets, they mimicked the tactics of the “Sixty-Eighters” occupying the Sorbonne and fighting the CRS.

\n\n

The shadow of history makes the recent damage done to the Arc de Triomphe all the more symbolically powerful and shocking. Yellow-vested protesters, singing the “Marseillaise,” surrounded the eternal flame of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before climbing atop the Arc de Triomphe while vandals spray-painted the monument, ravaged its museum, and damaged sculptural symbols of the Revolution.

\n\n

It was telling that Macron visited the Arc de Triomphe immediately after returning to France from the G-20 meetings in Argentina. The product of an elite French education, the president is steeped in the French past, lacing his speeches with literary and historical lessons and references. His recognition of the crimes of the French empire, elaborate commemoration of the end of World War I, invocations of Europe in the 1930s, warnings against nationalism, and proposals to strengthen the European Union all rest on a personal conviction that the past matters and should guide current events.

\n\n

But the pathos and victories of French workers are far easier to romanticize outside the chambers of the Palais de l’Élysée. The attacks on Macron – and on his wife, Brigitte – are reminiscent of the personalization of monarchical politics, when protestors lay blame for systemic and long-term failures at the feet of privileged individuals deaf to common concerns. Macron and his government certainly bear considerable responsibility for the current political crisis. But the Yellow Vests’ unifying slogan, “Macron Resign,” offers a simplistic solution to a complex and protracted set of challenges made all the more exigent by global warming.

\n\n

With calls for a fourth Saturday of Yellow Vest protest and the movement embedded throughout the country, the prospect of continued activism and renewed violence looms large. Macron may not lose his head, but a political strategy of divide and conquer, as practiced by President Charles de Gaulle in 1968, promises only short-term stability.

\n\n

History suggests that what happened in Paris on Dec. 1, 2018, has deep and complex roots. As merchants in the 8th arrondissement and other sectors of Paris carry out their repairs, the question of who will write the next chapter of French history remains open.

Remembering Professor Pinsker

\n\n

I was very sorry to read in the last issue of the passing of longtime English Professor Sanford Pinsker. I took a course with him that included an unforgettable visit by future Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer.

\n\n

As the obituary makes clear, Professor Pinsker was remarkably prolific in his publications and editorships. But he never placed publications above teaching, and was an inspiring and insightful teacher.

\n\n

F&M was fortunate to have had Professor Pinsker on its faculty for 37 years.

One book is bound in calf-covered wooden boards with brass corners, clasps and bosses. Another contains fine woodcut engravings and tooled leather binding. Several showcase the medieval art of illumination.

\n\n

Tucked safely in the bowels of Franklin & Marshall’s Martin Library of the Sciences, home of the College’s special collections, these and other rare books comprise an extraordinary group of published works spanning several centuries. The College’s vibrant collection of rare volumes includes more than 8,000 titles, ranging from a 1450 South Netherlands Book of Hours (pictured at left) to modern limited-edition publications.

\n\n

The Book of Hours, an illuminated manuscript, is attributed to the Utrecht school and the Dutch translation of Gerd de Groot. Handwritten and decorated on vellum, this type of religious work was commissioned by a family for home devotional use. In a typical plain Dutch binding of beech boards covered in calf, the book has a central panel of triple rules forming a pattern of blind lozenges. It has two well-wrought brass catches, each fastened with brass nails. This item is the oldest book owned by the F&M library and is now available in digital format.

\n\n

F&M’s cache of rare finds contains several subcollections, including the Helen and William E. Krantz ’37 Miniature Book Collection (below). Each of the 220 miniature books is less than 4 inches in length, and many are less than one inch. William Krantz donated the books to the College in 2012.

F&M inculcates in students the qualities of flexibility, curiosity, nimbleness, and the ability to tell their stories. The College must remember to do the same thing as an institution, says President Barbara K. Altmann.

The following is an excerpt of the inauguration address delivered by F&M President Barbara K. Altmann.

\n\n

In college, I was a late bloomer. It was in spring of my senior year when I finally experienced the transformative moment. I was the only student to register for a medieval French literature class. The professor agreed to do an independent study. Face to face with her, in her faculty office, surrounded by materials the likes of which I had never seen, I got hooked, and started to dig in. How does language work if a three-word phrase in Old French needs six words to say the same thing in the modern idiom? How could medieval poets work within the rigid rules of fixed-form poetry to say something new? What is the relationship between the derivative, the conventional, and the innovative?  How were the notions of individuality, personal voice, agency, the nature of genius understood when most medieval authors were anonymous? What societal constructs explain the great scarcity of identifiable pre-modern women writers? Why did a culture in which few were literate prize the written word? How does a modern printed book compare as a physical artifact with a manuscript made of precious animal hide and handwriting that required hundreds of hours of highly skilled artistic labor? What does it mean about the human condition to find emotional touchstones in 800-year-old poetry that ring true today? Why do we commonly dismiss the Middle Ages as barbaric and unsophisticated while still recycling and re-appropriating medieval material in our buildings, our movies, our literature, our artwork?

\n\n

In one course, in one term, I went from merely a smart student to a good one, a lifelong one. I found questions big enough, penetrating enough, interesting enough, challenging enough, to think about every day, with endless curiosity and passion. I found I had abilities I hadn’t recognized. And while it took me some years to give in to it completely, I got hooked on the pleasure of intellectual challenge, on the imperative of engaging in the world of ideas for our own individual and collective well-being. I was also hooked on the power of intellectual mentorship. And I wanted always to be on both sides of the desk.

\n\n

That sparkling engagement of the mind is what I found here at F&M. I found it in the recent graduate who told me, “I knew I wanted to be a lawyer, but I discovered what kind of law I might want to practice because I took courses in philosophy and sociology and dance. Now I know why I want to be a lawyer.” I found it in faculty members who have said, “I developed a new course to help out with the new curriculum, but that course led to the core ideas behind my recent research, too.” I heard it from the student who said, as he headed back into the library, “This is hard, but it’s good!” The professor in the performing arts who said, “I wanted to come here because the students are so sharp. Because of them, I am using much better material in class. We’re shaping their minds, but we’re shaping their bodies and souls, too.” The custodian in one of our college houses who told me, “I love these kids. They tell me what they’re learning in class.” The alumna who declared, “This is a real place.” And the students who insist that we keep it real, bring our intellectual labor to bear on real-world problems locally and far afield, and tackle the confounding problems like poverty, endemic racism, homophobia, environmental sustainability, migration. The creators and performers of art, working not only for mastery but also for meaning.

\n\n

That’s what I came here to foster. Why wouldn’t we want to provide the opportunity for this kind of education for those game and smart enough to take it on? I take enormous pleasure from being on a college campus with others who love to think and stretch intellectually and personally. I think of myself as akin to the protagonist in a medieval text by an author I have long studied, a woman named Christine de Pizan, who wrote at the court of King Charles V in France. In a work from 1402, titled Le Chemin de Longue Estude,” or The Book of the Path of Long Study, she recounts a dream vision in which she, the narrator, is guided on a celestial and terrestrial journey of learning. There are many remarkable agendas at work in Christine’s book, not least of which is that she herself, a woman in the very masculine field of late-medieval letters, assumes the role of the scholar on an intellectual journey, and her purpose for so doing is to discover what qualities would be required in an individual who could rule the world well.

The story of Franklin & Marshall College travels with each of its alumni, near and far. From Lancaster to Shanghai, and Boston to El Paso, F&M graduates carry with them the pursuit of knowledge and critical thought they developed in the liberal arts tradition.

\n\n

For three consecutive nights in March, members of the F&M family in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., celebrated that story and looked to the future as the College continued to kick off the most ambitious comprehensive campaign in its history, “Now to Next.” Hundreds of alumni, parents and friends joined President Barbara K. Altmann and members of the Board of Trustees in each city to learn about the goals of the campaign, which formally launched last fall during TRUE BLUE Weekend on campus.

\n\n

“Now to Next” will raise $200 million by the end of 2021. The leadership phase of the campaign and the early part of the public phase already has raised more than 70 percent of the goal.

\n\n

The largest campaign in F&M history seeks to raise $130 million to advance academic excellence, including expanding student aid and recruitment, investing more in faculty research, scholarship, innovation and creativity, and completing construction of the Winter Visual Arts Center. It aims to raise $50 million to strengthen the student experience, including increasing career-preparation services, creating new partnerships with the Lancaster community, improving student health and wellness programs, and providing an exemplary student-athlete experience. It also seeks to raise $20 million to support the Franklin & Marshall Fund, which supports every F&M student every day.

\n\n

President Altmann told attendees at the events that they were key to the campaign’s success and encouraged them to take ownership for that success. After a showing of the campaign video, she urged, “To bring about what is next, we need you. I ask you to be bold, to find inspiration in what you’ve seen and heard. To be champions of Franklin & Marshall. To move with us from now to next.”

\n\n

Several high-profile alumni shared their personal F&M stories in engaging conversations with President Altmann at the campaign launch events. In New York, Trustee Ken Mehlman ’88 discussed how he believes the academic rigors of the College prepared him to face challenges he faced in politics and the private sector.

Quick Takes on What’s ‘Next’

\n\n

The Now to Next campaign seeks to take F&M to a new level of achievement in the arts and sciences, in scholarship and service—a new level of national prominence. The next decade will bring new horizons, opportunities and challenges for F&M’s people, programs and facilities. We asked a few members of the F&M community to provide quick takes on how their work will help take the College into an exciting future.

Now, Classics as a field is embracing technological fields such as digital imaging and virtual reality to help reconstruct how the ancient world looked. We anticipate that very soon students even in our introductory classes will have immersive experiences in the streets, battlefields, or theaters of Athens and Rome to supplement ancient authors they read. Scientific fields like forensic anthropology and environmental science explain what people ate and or how they lived in periods of environmental stress. And new generations of students with different life experiences probe many of the same questions that Greek and Roman poets and philosophers raised about the nature of power or the role of fate. The Next phase of Classics looks to be as innovative and imaginative as our students can make it.”","thumbnail":{"items":[{"position":"middle","size":"full","type":"slideshow","id":"w74144653416425323","ids":["248297101667170182"],"extras":{"248297101667170182":{"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false}},"showTitles":false,"showDescriptions":false,"showCredits":false,"_id":1,"_items":[{"_id":"248297101667170182","length":null,"group":"images","createdAt":"2014-12-11T16:49:47.408Z","name":"alexis-castor-classics","title":"Alexis Castor","extension":"jpg","md5":"196d0fa853358562551a3a48c8a42883","width":2327,"height":2045,"searchText":"alexis castor classics alexis castor college communications classics none jpg images jpeg julia kielmeyer","landscape":true,"ownerId":"644721054809405464","crops":[{"top":"0","left":"141","width":"2045","height":"2045"}],"description":"","credit":"College Communications","tags":["classics"],"private":false,"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false}]}],"type":"area","slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/spring-2019/spring-2019-articles/2019/05/14/now-to-next:body1.items.2.thumbnail"},"credit":"Alexis Castor","meta":"Associate Professor of Classics, Department Chair of Classics","type":"betterPullquote"},{"quote":"“Biological Foundations of Behavior was one of the college’s first interdisciplinary programs.

after so many years a memorable one can there be a better way to spend an autumn saturday in southeastern pennsylvania my anticipation was far different 50 years ago when members of f m s class of 1972 arrived on campus for our freshman orientation there was plenty of stress anxiety and uncertainty it was a turbulent time in our nation s history two assassinations and a violent chaotic democratic convention in chicago highlighted the tensions within the united states in our class history reference is made to the introduction in charles kaiser s book 1968 he stated that 1968 was a pivotal year it was a moment when all of the nation s impulses towards violence idealism diversity and disorder peaked to produce the greatest possible hope and the worst imaginable despair today america has its own turbulence invoking many parallels to 1968 yet not close in its historical context f m s class of 2022 will have its own history to write in a manner not dissimilar to the class of 1968 and our classes have an important thing in common a liberal arts college in lancaster dedicated to giving them a top flight education to understand the world that enveloped the students of the late 1960s and now confronts students some the grandchildren of those protesters of the vietnam war who have their own reasons to rebel as still is the nature of franklin marshall the class of 1972 came from a variety of places and for a plethora of reasons highly renowned as a school where the pre med program was considered to be one of the best in the country f m adapted to the changing environment of the war as it found more students opting to attend law school we represented the hope for the future the boys of the baby boomers as franklin marshall was still an all male institution if there would be an accounting now the class of 1972 did quite well from our ranks came a bevy of lawyers doctors health care professionals college administrators businessmen market analysts ranking military officers geoscience professionals educators and coaches many of whom have achieved advanced degrees and leadership roles and all of whom have made a difference but who among us could predict how well we could have done we arrived as a class in flux just as much as our country was the racial discord which remained even after the enactment of the civil rights act was palpable f m addressed the subjects of the recent past in our reading assignments over the summer the autobiography of malcolm x which concerned one of the most controversial men in the 1960s along with the kerner commission report which focused on the causes of the 1967 riots in cities such as newark gave the incoming freshmen a taste of life far removed from their lives yet so pertinent to the times so when we rolled into lancaster in the fall of 1968 we had already been awakened to the sociological and historical aspects of the present day it would be up to our professors to make us even more aware of our place in this ever changing world that trip to f m was the beginning of a trade breaking the bonds of home to meet new friends and to learn how to become a functioning adult four years later no wonder so many of us nervously moved into our dorms with our macintosh linens and a roommate whom we had corresponded with but in most cases never met the venerable president of the college keith spalding addressed us during our first days on campus dr spalding s deep voice spoke to warn us to get us focused upon the difficult task at hand the rigorous four years of academic study and the multitude of sanctioned and unsanctioned extracurricular activities that were present at f m our orientation also included a speech from the head of the african american society challenging us to reject societal norms and to recognize how much further we had to go to properly address the plight of those who did not have the privilege to stand in our shoes we also met the effervescent o w lacy the dean of students we received our class assignments when we were sent to the foyer of mayser center f m s gymnasium i was among the unlucky who were placed in an 8 a m class of english i forcing me to awaken early and eat then rush to class still half asleep the lesson learned was never to take another early class there we were prepped as best as the academicians could hope for ready to enter the challenges that lay ahead a bunch of predominantly 18 year olds looking for guidance while at the same time trying to become stronger individuals thus my return to campus this fall was nostalgic as much as it was a view of the future the tour of the quiet campus before noon evoked many memories mark sperber 72 has written weekly for his blog retiredlawyersportsop blogspot com since retiring in 2014 as a staff attorney with the new jersey office of the public defender this is an adaptation of one of his pieces the older dorms we freshmen inhabited are still there schnader and marshall buchanan updated architecturally and with the better creature comforts we did not have the quad was still the quad except that college houses are now present with new spaces for learning recreation and reflection stager hall which contains stahr auditorium is still in the center of the campus flanked by the keiper liberal arts building the bookstore is back in distler after having been in several corners of campus since our days old main looks better preserved than ever goethean hall is no longer a post office but an academic building the protest tree has been removed the library is named the shadek fackenthal library thanks to the generosity of the shadek family a new visual arts center is being constructed at the south end of campus there are more statues and artwork adorning the lush greenery while sponaugle williamson field still is upright and the track continues to be used football and lacrosse games are now played in the state of the art shadek stadium thanks to the donations of so many and spearheaded by the sizeable gift of our classmate larry who i saw roaming the sidelines much development of the area along harrisburg pike has transformed the vicinity of the college gone are the factories tobacco curators and the blight that we saw as we entered the parking lot they have been replaced by businesses and an eatery hartman hall the old decrepit franklin marshall academy which was our de facto student center has been removed the nearby steinman college center is now a hub for much of what happens at f m the biggest change of all is coeducation we experienced that after our freshman year but now it is clearly evident at franklin marshall where women excel academically in the arts and in athletics change is a central theme at franklin marshall remaining in the forefront of small liberal arts colleges requires much planning had the school remained stagnant in its physical appearance much of the attractiveness and charm of the school would have been wasted or eviscerated in looking at the students i saw at the game and wandering on campus or those few who were sequestered in the library i observed youngsters embedded in a crisis as our class faced 50 years ago they have the great fortune of personal computers cell phones and the internet that alone is a major advantage yet they face a present that is politically more unstable and divided than in 1968 they grew up with the memories of sandy hook elementary and parkland high school rioting in baltimore and ferguson mo along with issues of domestic violence sexual harassment and drug use the class of 2022 must navigate the swirling waters of rapid change racial discord and an unpredictable future the admonitions of the speakers at our freshman orientation in the literature we read prior to our arrival and in the preface to mr kaiser s book still resonate today when i thought about revisiting f m 50 years after my own freshman year i knew this franklin marshall is a far different place than 50 years ago that is what progress is about and the progress has been good still much remains the same for the students who arrived on campus last week as freshmen as a member of the class of 1972 i wish them as much success as we have attained","searchSummary":"\nAs Mark Sperber ’72 recently discovered, students of yesterday and today have much in common.  \nF&M is a far

America faces new challenges at home and abroad. But as Mark Sperber ’72 recently discovered, students of yesterday and today have much in common.  \n \n\n\nThere was no anxiety, pressure or uncertainty when I visited Franklin & Marshall this time. Except maybe over the outcome of the game, and the weather. The F&M football team won when I visited campus this past fall, helping to make my return to the College after so many years a memorable one. Can there be a better way to spend an autumn Saturday in southeastern Pennsylvania?\n\n\nMy anticipation was far different 50 years ago, when members of F&M’s Class of 1972 arrived on campus for our freshman orientation. There was plenty of stress, anxiety and uncertainty.\n\n\nIt was a turbulent time in our nation’s history. Two assassinations, and a violent, chaotic Democratic Convention in Chicago, highlighted the tensions within the United States. In our class history, reference is made to the introduction in Charles Kaiser’s book, “1968.” He stated that “1968 was a pivotal year. It was a moment when all of the nation’s impulses towards violence, idealism, diversity and disorder peaked to produce the greatest possible hope and the worst imaginable despair.”\n\n\nToday, America has its own turbulence—invoking many parallels to 1968—yet not close in its historical context. F&M’s Class of 2022 will have its own history to write, in a manner not dissimilar to the Class of 1968. And our classes have an important thing in common: a liberal arts college in Lancaster dedicated to giving them a top-flight education to understand the world that enveloped the students of the late 1960s and now confronts students, some the grandchildren of those protesters of the Vietnam War, who have their own reasons to rebel.\n\n\nAs still is the nature of Franklin & Marshall, the Class of 1972 came from a variety of places and for a plethora of reasons. Highly renowned as a school where the pre-med program was considered to be one of the best in the country, F&M adapted to the changing environment of the war, as it found more students opting to attend law school.\n\n\nWe represented the hope for the future—the boys of the Baby Boomers, as Franklin & Marshall was still an all-male institution. If there would be an accounting now, the Class of 1972 did quite well. From our ranks came a bevy of lawyers, doctors, health care professionals, college administrators, businessmen, market analysts, ranking military officers, geoscience professionals, educators and coaches, many of whom have achieved advanced degrees and leadership roles, and all of whom have made a difference.\n\n\nBut who among us could predict how well we could have done? We arrived as a class in flux, just as much as our country was. The racial discord which remained even after the enactment of the Civil Rights Act was palpable.\n\n\nF&M addressed the subjects of the recent past in our reading assignments over the summer. “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” which concerned one of the most controversial men in the 1960s, along with “The Kerner Commission Report,” which focused on the causes of the 1967 riots in cities such as Newark, gave the incoming freshmen a taste of life far removed from their lives yet so pertinent to the times.\n\n\nSo when we rolled into Lancaster in the fall of 1968, we had already been awakened to the sociological and historical aspects of the present day. It would be up to our professors to make us even more aware of our place in this ever-changing world.\n\n\nThat trip to F&M was the beginning of a trade—breaking the bonds of home to meet new friends and to learn how to become a functioning adult four years later. No wonder so many of us nervously moved into our dorms, with our Macintosh linens and a roommate whom we had corresponded with, but in most cases, never met.\n\n\nThe venerable president of the College, Keith Spalding, addressed us during our first days on campus. Dr. Spalding’s deep voice spoke to warn us, to get us focused upon the difficult task at hand—the rigorous four years of academic study and the multitude of sanctioned and unsanctioned extracurricular activities that were present at F&M.\n\n\nOur orientation also included a speech from the head of the African-American Society, challenging us to reject societal norms and to recognize how much further we had to go to properly address the plight of those who did not have the privilege to stand in our shoes. We also met the effervescent O.W. Lacy, the dean of students.\n\n\nWe received our class assignments when we were sent to the foyer of Mayser Center, F&M’s gymnasium. I was among the unlucky who were placed in an 8 a.m. class of English I—forcing me to awaken early and eat, then rush to class still half asleep. The lesson learned was never to take another early class.\n\n\nThere we were, prepped as best as the academicians could hope for, ready to enter the challenges that lay ahead. A bunch of predominantly 18-year-olds looking for guidance, while at the same time trying to become stronger individuals.\n\n\nThus my return to campus this fall was nostalgic as much as it was a view of the future. The tour of the quiet campus before noon evoked many memories.\n\n\n \n\n\nMark Sperber ’72 has written weekly for his blog, retiredlawyersportsop.blogspot.com, since retiring in 2014 as a staff attorney with the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender. This is an adaptation of one of his pieces.\n\n\n  \n\n\nThe older dorms we freshmen inhabited are still there—Schnader and Marshall-Buchanan—updated architecturally and with the better creature comforts we did not have. The Quad was still the Quad, except that College Houses are now present with new spaces for learning, recreation and reflection.\n\n\nStager Hall, which contains Stahr Auditorium, is still in the center of the campus, flanked by the Keiper Liberal Arts building. The bookstore is back in Distler after having been in several corners of campus since our days. Old Main looks better preserved than ever. Goethean Hall is no longer a post office but an academic building. The “Protest Tree” has been removed. The library is named the Shadek-Fackenthal Library thanks to the generosity of the Shadek family. A new visual arts center is being constructed at the south end of campus. There are more statues and artwork adorning the lush greenery.\n\n\nWhile Sponaugle-Williamson Field still is upright and the track continues to be used, football and lacrosse games are now played in the state-of-the art Shadek Stadium, thanks to the donations of so many, and spearheaded by the sizeable gift of our classmate, Larry, who I saw roaming the sidelines. Much development of the area along Harrisburg Pike has transformed the vicinity of the College. Gone are the factories, tobacco curators, and the blight that we saw as we entered the parking lot; they have been replaced by businesses and an eatery.\n\n\nHartman Hall, the old, decrepit Franklin & Marshall Academy, which was our “de facto” student center, has been removed. The nearby Steinman College Center is now a hub for much of what happens at F&M.\n\n\nThe biggest change of all is coeducation. We experienced that after our freshman year, but now it is clearly evident at Franklin & Marshall, where women excel academically, in the arts and in athletics.\n\n\nChange is a central theme at Franklin & Marshall. Remaining in the forefront of small, liberal arts colleges requires much planning. Had the school remained stagnant in its physical appearance, much of the attractiveness and charm of the school would have been wasted or eviscerated.\n\n\nIn looking at the students I saw at the game and wandering on campus or those few who were sequestered in the library, I observed youngsters embedded in a crisis, as our class faced 50 years ago. They have the great fortune of personal computers, cell phones and the Internet. That alone is a major advantage.\n\n\nYet they face a present that is politically more unstable and divided than in 1968. They grew up with the memories of Sandy Hook Elementary and Parkland High School, rioting in Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., along with issues of domestic violence, sexual harassment and drug use.\n\n\nThe Class of 2022 must navigate the swirling waters of rapid change, racial discord and an unpredictable future. The admonitions of the speakers at our freshman orientation, in the literature we read prior to our arrival, and in the preface to Mr. Kaiser’s book, still resonate today.\n\n\nWhen I thought about revisiting F&M 50 years after my own freshman year, I knew this: Franklin & Marshall is a far different place than 50 years ago. That is what progress is about. And the progress has been good.\n\n\nStill much remains the same for the students who arrived on campus last week as freshmen. As a member of the Class of 1972, I wish them as much success as we have attained.\n ","draftAuthoredById":"608254296779188068","body1":{"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/spring-2019/spring-2019-articles/2019/05/14/returning-to-our-college:body1","items":[{"type":"richText","content":"

F&M is a far different place than it was a half century ago. America faces new challenges at home and abroad. But as Mark Sperber ’72 recently discovered, students of yesterday and today have much in common.

There was no anxiety, pressure or uncertainty when I visited Franklin & Marshall this time. Except maybe over the outcome of the game, and the weather. The F&M football team won when I visited campus this past fall, helping to make my return to the College after so many years a memorable one. Can there be a better way to spend an autumn Saturday in southeastern Pennsylvania?

Construction on the new wing to Fackenthal Lab began on May 14, 1948, with an expanded project cost of $350,000. Construction on the new wings to Stahr Hall began in 1952. Due to a lack of funding, the renovation was not fully completed until 1958, when the rest of the exterior was finally encased in red brick and the arched entryway concept was abandoned. This unfinished condition is best characterized by the April 9, 1952, edition of the F&M Student Weekly, which reported: “When the wings are finished, the grey brick of the old building will be incongruous with the red brick of the additions.”

nation’s oldest and best-known homes  \n\n\nCaroline Spurry ’01 laughs and admits she’s handier around the house than her husband.\n\n\n“Both of our fathers were builders,” she says, “but I got more of the builder’s gene.”\n\n\nIt helps that Spurry, who was a business administration major at F&M but went on to receive a master’s in historic preservation from George Washington University, helps to restore and maintain one of the nation’s oldest and best-known homes.\n\n\nAs an architectural historian at George Washington’s Mount Vernon, plantation home of the first U.S. president, the 39-year-old Spurry works with a small team to squeeze as much knowledge from the site as possible.\n\n\n“I started out not knowing if it was even feasible to do this as a job,” she says. “Now here I am, doing it ... and at the home of one of the most important people in our history.”\n\n\nShe calls it her dream job. “I think there are probably other jobs that are just as exciting and rewarding, but I don’t know if there is anything that’s more exciting,” Spurry says.\n\n\nSpurry began the job after 10 years as a financial statement auditor. She initially went into accounting because it seemed like a responsible career path. She doesn’t regret the experience—it’s helped her drive fundraising efforts at Mount Vernon.\n\n\n“But I quickly realized it was not meant to be my life’s work,” Spurry says. “You either jump on the train and ride it down the tracks as far as you can, or you make a change and do it while you’re young enough to make that change.”\n\n\nShe soon realized her passions—history, architecture and writing—could lead to a meaningful career. In 2014, a professor at GWU assigned her to write a historic structures report on the kitchen at Mount Vernon. She never left.\n\n\nBorn and raised in Easton, Md., Spurry now lives in a 70-year-old house in Arlington, Va., with husband Steve, who works at the Federal Reserve. Her home, she notes, is “relatively new” compared to her workplace, where construction started in the 1730s.\n\n\nIronically, she says, she kept so busy at F&M—tennis, a minor in English, electives in history and the classics—she never visited local historical sites such as Wheatland or Rock Ford.\n\n\n“We’re never going to be able to go back in time,” she notes, explaining her ongoing fascination with history. “But buildings and structures are a tangible part of the past that we can interact with. It’s something we can see and touch and feel.”\n\n\nThe Mount Vernon estate was purchased from the last Washington heir in 1858 by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association. Today, Spurry says, the property includes 20 original structures, 26 reconstructions, and several replicas and support structures.\n\n\nAfter more than a century and a half of work, one might think Mount Vernon has yielded all its secrets. Not so, Spurry insists.\n\n\n“It’s a fascinating time. We have the benefit of so much technology that previous generations did not have,” she says. “We’re able to do research a lot faster than people could in the past. We’re able to do a lot more analysis and synthesization of the research, so we can look at it in a more complete or new way.”\n\n\nThere are new techniques for dating materials such as wood, paint and glass that weren’t available to prior generations, and time-honored practices like counting the nails and documenting the type and placement of each. “There’s a lot more to be learned,” she says.\n\n\nSpurry recently led research projects in the Blue Room and Front Parlor, among others, and is preparing a restoration plan for the western elevation.\n\n\n“We have a constant rotation of projects,” she says, with a laugh. “We have a near infinite backlog of work to do.”\n ","draftAuthoredById":"474160829520188434","body1":{"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/spring-2019/spring-2019-articles/2019/05/10/alumni-profile-caroline-spurry-01:body1","items":[{"noHeight":true,"minSize":[480,480],"disableTitles":true,"userOptions":{"orientation":{"choices":[{"label":"Landscape","name":"landscape","css":"apos-landscape","aspectRatio":[1.66,1]},{"label":"Square","name":"square","css":"apos-square","aspectRatio":[1,1]},{"label":"Portrait","name":"portrait","css":"apos-portrait","aspectRatio":[3,4]}]}},"editView":"1","widget":true,"type":"slideshow","id":"w825935438415582844","orientation":"landscape","ids":["226811588149205361","54982097865494729"],"extras":{"226811588149205361":{"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false,"crop":{"top":0,"left":169,"width":1662,"height":1001}},"54982097865494729":{"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false,"crop":{"top":60,"left":0,"width":2000,"height":1205}}},"showTitles":false,"showDescriptions":false,"showCredits":true,"_id":1,"_items":[{"_id":"226811588149205361","length":null,"group":"images","createdAt":"2019-05-14T19:16:27.878Z","name":"spurry-4","title":"spurry 4","extension":"jpg","md5":"81ca99084a01db1eb6cb4b8566868955","width":2000,"height":1001,"searchText":"spurry 4 spurry 4 courtesy of caroline spurry magazine caroline spurry 01 jpg images jpeg timothy e brixius","landscape":true,"ownerId":"474160829520188434","crops":[{"top":"0","left":"169","width":"1662","height":"1001"},{"top":"0","left":"169","width":"1662","height":"1001"},{"top":"0","left":"0","width":"1660","height":"1000"}],"description":"Caroline Spurry '01","credit":"Courtesy of Caroline Spurry","tags":["magazine"],"private":false,"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false,"crop":{"top":0,"left":169,"width":1662,"height":1001}},{"_id":"54982097865494729","length":null,"group":"images","createdAt":"2019-05-14T19:17:28.448Z","name":"spurry-and-team","title":"spurry and team","extension":"jpg","md5":"7e4b8fa62f0aa663fb9ad91bec851731","width":2000,"height":1325,"searchText":"spurry and team spurry and team courtesy of caroline spurry magazine spurry and team jpg images jpeg timothy e brixius","landscape":true,"ownerId":"474160829520188434","crops":[{"top":"60","left":"0","width":"2000","height":"1205"}],"description":"Spurry and team","credit":"Courtesy of Caroline Spurry","tags":["magazine"],"private":false,"hyperlink":null,"hyperlinkTitle":"","hyperlinkTarget":false,"crop":{"top":60,"left":0,"width":2000,"height":1205}}]},{"type":"richText","content":""}],"type":"area"},"sidebar1":{"slug":"/magazine/magazine-issues/spring-2019/spring-2019-articles/2019/05/10/alumni-profile-caroline-spurry-01:sidebar1","items":[{"quote":"“We’re never going to be able to go back in time, but buildings and structures are a tangible part of the past that we can interact with.

It’s where F&M students of the 1980s could get a Poor Richard sandwich—cheese, lettuce and tomato on pita—for $1.80. Where students of the 1990s could get a massive helping of Ben’s Bread for a couple bucks. And where students today enjoy baskets of chicken wings and onion rings for $7.50.
