Kenyon rebellion, 1964
Nov. 28th, 2005 03:49 pmI just found this on the 'net whilst looking (fruitlessly, alas) for a photo of the burnt capital from the old Rosse Hall.
"In the spring of 1964 I was a senior at Kenyon College, in rural Ohio. Revolution was in the air, nationally, but somehow it was not easy to find a subject for revolution in that idyllic small town, and when the revolution came it was difficult to make it quite as vulgar or noisy or violent as in more urban settings. But we managed to rebel successfully, overthrow what needed overthrowing (at least locally), and a good time was had by all."
