Mary Elizabeth Edwards Ober was hon- 

ored by the university at a donor apprecia- 

tion dinner August 25, acknowledging her 

gift of $600,000 to renovate Schwitzer Cen- 

ter dining hall and construct the new pavil- 

ion attached to Schwitzer. 

The Ober Dining Hall and Plaza were 

dedicated by President Lantz at the annual 

dinner, attended by 350 of the university’s 

major benefactors. Mrs. Ober’s gift was a 

significant part of the $1.25 million renova- 

tion to Schwitzer, which began in May and 

was completed the day of the dinner. 

Mrs. Ober, who offered the gift in 

memory of her late husband, Cy, told the 

assembly that her husband had believed 

strongly in the value of educating young 

people. “He would be very happy to know 

about this, and I am pleased to continue 

with what he loved,” she said. 

Mrs. Ober has also given the C.S. Ober 

Scholarships in Business to the university. 

The Obers were the founding family of 

Stationers office supply stores. 

Dr. Lantz unveiled a bronze plaque, 

bearing the 1ikenessesofMaryandCy Ober, 

which has been placed in the foyer between 

the plaza and dining room. He also pre- 

sented Mrs. Ober with an original painting 

of the “new” Schwitzer Center by art profes- 

sor Earl Snellenberger. Dinner guests re- 

ceived signed prints of the painting. 

Guests were served each course of the 

meal on a different floor of Schwitzer, so 

that they could tour all areas of the newly 

remodeled facility.

DeHaan wants graduates against ‘encumbrances' 

International businesswoman and 

university trustee Christel DeHaan challenged 

University of Indianapolis graduates 

to “choose passionately not to be 

ordinary,” lest their dreams be dashed by 

the current “Age of Encumbrance.” 

The owner and chief executive officer 

of Resort Condominiums International, 

Inc., the world’s largest vacation 

exchange company, told the 557 graduating 

students (a university record) in April 

to “fight through this Age of Encumbrance 

that will do everything it can to distract you 

from greatness.” 

Today’s most threatening “encumbrance,’’ 

DeHaan said, is “our penchant for 

conflict in the world. What used to be 

competition now is conflict. What used to 

be a democracy of ideas on a thousand 

fronts has devolved into confrontation, inyour-face 

anger, and lines drawn in the sand. 

“My generation suffered through 

wars,from World War11 toVietnam. Today 

you are involved in no wars, but in a hundred 

times more conflict.” 

DeHaan, who immigrated from Germany, 

is ranked among the nation’s top 50 

women business owners by Working Woman 

magazine. 

“I’mfrequentlyasked,” she said, “why 

it is that people from foreign lands can 

come to America, often penniless . . . and 

end up millionaires and philanthropists. 

Meet your new alumni director 

The reason, I think, is because they were 

not encumbered. They never feared fail- 

ure, because in their dreams they always 

succeeded. They clung ferociously to the 

visions of their youth.” 

She said that “America was a country 

fuIl of homes with front porches” when she 

arrived 30 years ago. “It seemed to me that 

front porches turned streets into livable 

places through the small amenity of a wave 

or a smile, or an invitation for a cool drink 

on a hot day.” 

But when people began turning in- 

ward, preferring decks and fences and elec- 

tric garage doors, neighborliness disap 

Receiving honorarydoctorates from the 

university at Commencement were: 

Zane Todd, retired chairman of the 

board and president of IPALCO Enter- 

prises, Inc., andimmediate past chair of 

the university’s Board ofTrustees (Doc- 

tor of Humane Letters); Congressman 

Lee H. Hamilton, Democratic repre- 

sentative from the Ninth District of Indi- 

ana (Doctoroflaws); andTheReverend 

Richard E. Hamilton, pastor of North 

United Methodist Church (Doctor of 

Divinity). The Hamiltons are brothers. 

peared. And, she warned, businesses oper- 

ate today as “technology cocoons” via pas- 

sive computers. 

“Technology has progressed, but hu- 

man interaction has regressed,” she said. 

“Maybe it is this retreat &om humanity that is 

eroding our potential for greatness.” 

DeHaan invited her audience to build 

front porches in their lives and “set up a 

chair. Better yet, set up two and ask a 

neighbor over.” 

DeHaan also advised graduates to 

teach their children civility: “Teach them 

the small amenities that deaden conflict. 

Listen to them and teach them to listen. 

Hold their hands and teach them to hold 

hands. Show them the wonders of conver- 

sation, the joy of reading a book. Teach 

them restraint and show them wisdom. 

Walk with them in the woods. And give 

them a legacy of peace.” 

DeHaan, a former student, was 

awarded the honorary Doctor of Humane 

Letters degree. She spoke to a packed aud- 

ience in Nicoson Hall, not far from the 

girders of the 59,000-square-foot Christel 

DeHaan Fine Arts Center scheduled for 

completion next spring. The $10 million 

Centerwill feature an acousticallyoutstand- 

ingperformance halldescribed byitsacous- 

tical engineer as “unparalleled in the Mid- 

west.” The Center will have an art gallery, 

classrooms, practice rooms, and offices.

Cassie Hall looks for creahve promohons to involve alumni 

Cassie Hall- professional events 

planner, University of Oklahoma 

alumni club founder, and certified 

tennis umpire-has been named di- 

rector for Alumni/Parent Relations. 

Her appointment was announced by 

Dr. James L. Brunnemer, Dean for 

Institutional Advancement. 

Cassie, who holds a B.S. degree 

in chemistry, comes to the university 

from Accent on Indianapolis, a desti- 

nation management firm that pru 

duces hospitality events for con- 

ventions and corporations. Earlier 

she spent two years in the marketing 

and management of trade shows. 

For University of Indianapolis 

alumni, she is hoping to achieve 

“more involvement.” 

“Alumni will be interested and 

involved in the university if we develop 

programs that appeal to them,” Hall said. 

She also has plans for encouraging the 

Student Alumni Association to promote 

2 

Cassk Hall 

campus events specifically for students. “I 

want students to know who I am by the time 

they graduate,” she said. “I want them to 

know my name and my face while they are 

students here. Later, when I ask 

them for involvement with the uni- 

versity as alumni, I will be more than 

just an unfamiliar name on apiece of 

paper.” 

In 1991, Cassie cufounded the 

University of Oklahoma alumni club 

chapter for the Indianapolis area, a 

group that has expanded to 50 mem- 

bers, in spite of what she calls a 

“low membership area.” In her spare 

time, she serves as a certified tennis 

umpire and has officiated at tennis 

tournaments for all ages-for play- 

ers as young as 12 as well as for 

professionals. 

In August she umpired for the 

third consecutive year at the RCA 

Hardcourt Championships held at 

the Indianapolis Tennis Center 

downtown. In the past she has called lines 

for such tennis luminaries as Jimmy 

Connors, Jim Courier, Pete Sampras, and 

Andre Agassi.

Circle K Club again 

dominates district awards 

The University of Indianapolis chapter 

of the Circle KClub dominated the Indiana 

District Circle K awards competition last 

spring, capturing first place with the presti- 

gious Club Achievement award, presented 

to the top club in the state. 

The club also saw its fourth member 

since 1991 elected District Governor. Amy 

Johnsonwill serve this year, following in the 

shoes of predecessors Diane Bradley (1991- 

92) and Sandy Herre (1992-93). (Former 

member Kent Holoday, Jr. ’92, local chap 

terpresidentfrom 1990-91 and nowagradu- 

ate student at Colorado State, was elected 

District Governor, Rocky Mountain District, 

Circle K International.) 

Amy Johnson was inducted into the 

Society of Distinguished Collegians and was 

named a Distinguished District Officer. 

The U of I club also received the Single 

Service award in the Gold Division, first 

place in scrapbook competition, the Club 

Bulletin Editor award, and the Governor’s 

Project Recognition award. 

Ted Polk, Food Services director, was 

awarded the Circle of Service award. Cindy 

Blackburn was inducted into the Society of 

Distinguished Collegians and given the Dis- 

tinguished Club President award. 

F m Ring Cycle to mndball? 

Joe Bickel won the Distinguished Club 

Vice President award. Melissa Arierbeny 

and Johanna Philhower won the state 

awards for secretary and treasurer, respectively. 

Rebecca Ribble won Outstanding 

First-Year Member, Central Division. 

The Circle KClub, which has garnered 

outstanding track records over the past 

three years, distinguished itself this year by 

contributing over 750 pounds of canned 

goods to Hunger, Inc., and collecting 120 

pairs of shoes and several bags of clothing 

for Solomon’s Wardrobe. Members also 

raised over $1,000 in the Church World 

Services/Crop Walk to fight world hunger, 

and continued to support a young Brazilian 

through Compassion, International. 

Clyde Fields, advisor, sees the club as 

one oftheuniversity’smain ttaininggrounds 

for student leadership and service. “The 

members are oriented toward service for 

others and inspired to exceed each previous 

year’s record. Outstanding freshmen 

are placed in key committee positions each 

year, and theyjust take off on their own.” 

The club is co-sponsored by the Kiwanis 

Club of Indianapolis and the Kiwanis Club 

of South Indianapolis. The club’s motto, 

“We Build,” exemplifies their service ethic. 

WCR to air Metropolitan @era fierfimnces 

When the Metropolitan Opera begins 

its new season in December, local opera 

buffs will listen to it on WICR 88.7 FM. 

The university’s radio station received 

exclusive rights to air the popular program 

in July, according to faculty member Ed 

Roehling, station manager. Earlier it was 

heard on WAJC, the Butler radio station, 

which ceased operations this spring. 

I 1 . J 

The program will air live from 1:30 to 

4:30 p.m. each Saturday during the Met’s 

season from December 4,1993, to April 23, 

1994. Home basketball games will con- 

tinue to be broadcast, he said, although an 

occasional extra-long opera may cause a 

late start in coverage of a women’s game. 

WICR carried the opening night gala 

of the Metropolitan Opera.

their high school classes, with a minimum 

SAT score of 1000 or a minimum ACT score 

of 24. 

Among these high-achieving freshmen 

are nine Presidential Scholars and 53 Dean’s 

Scholars. Prerequisites are an academic 

ranking in the upper five percent of their 

class and minimum SAT scores of 1200 or 

minimum ACT scores of 29. 

The class composition also includes 

three sets of twins, including two brothers 

who will play football for the Greyhounds. 

The freshman twins are Jason and Jef- 

frey Sorg, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Sorg of 

Berne, Indiana, both of whom are Dean’s 

Scholars and members of the football team; 

Leighann and Suzanne Russo, daughters of 

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Russo of Carmel, Indi- 

ana; and Ty and Dustin Palmer, sons of Mr. 

and Mrs. Thomas Miner, newly moved to 

Indianapolis from San Carlos, California.

U of I signs joint venture with Indiana 

Univemitv to dive for Columbus’ ships 

. 

Ir, 

d 

The University 

of Indianapolis 

and Indiana 

University have 

signed an agree- 

ment with the 

government of 

the Dominican 

Republic in which the two universities 

gained exclusive rights to search two areas 

off the Dominican coast thought to be the 

underwater grave of Christopher Colum- 

busera vessels. 

President Benjamin Lantz signed the 

tweyear research contract, which gives the 

two universities the right to excavate finds, 

then duplicate and exhibit the materials. 

The project is being funded by univer- 

sity, private and Dominican monies, Lantz 

said. He estimated the cost of the project at 

$225,000. Any artifacts found would be dis- 

played at the University of Indianapolis in a 

miniexhibit. The city’s Children’s Mu- 

seum, which is already home to numerous 

17th- and 18thcenturyartifacts, would even- 

tually show the treasures in a major exhibit. 

The Dominican Republic would retain 

ownership rights. 

Ships used by the crews of Christopher 

Columbus in the early 1490s were sunk by 

back-teback hurricanes. Eight suchwooden 

caravels are thought to be preserved in the 

rich sediment off the north coast of the 

Dominican Republic, specifically in the Bay 

of Santa Isabela and south of Saona Island. 

None of the sunken Columbus vessels has 

been recovered to date. 

The diving project began last summer, 

with about 20 divers working at a time. 

Others involved in the project include re- 

searchers, anthropologists, biologists, lin- 

guists, and historians. 

Crimson & Grey Day brings Olympian Hayes 

Jones, special honors to Greyhound greats 

Hayes W Jones Tom Zupancic 

Obmpic track star I-Person Award winner 

Hayes W. Jones, winner of the 1964 

1 Olympic Gold Medal for the 110-meter 

hurdles and bronze medalist for the same 

event in 1960, was the featured speaker at 

I the Crimson 8c Grey Day luncheon. 

Crimson & Grey Day is an annual event 

honoring all letterwinners. After the luncheon, 

participants watched the Hounds 

beat St. Joseph’s College in football, then 

headed to a postgame barbecue. 

Tom Zupancic ’78, a football and wrestling 

standout during the seventies and now 

strength and conditioning coach for the 

Indianapolis Colts, received the coveted “I” 

award for community service. The award is 

given annually to an outstanding alum who 

has served the community and contributed 

to U of I athletics. 

Three former Greyhoundathleteswere 

inducted into the 1993 Hall of Fame: the 

late Dave DeJernett’35, who played basket- 

ball; Dave Shaw’52, former football player 

and U of I coach; and Sue Wdey ’75, who 

was a standout in field hockey, volleyball, 

basketball, softball, and tennis, and today is 

the U of I women’s softball coach. 

A businessman active in community 

affairs in his native city of Pontiac and a 

longtime advocate for youth, Jones de 

nated his gold medal to the city in the hope 

that it would inspire youth to achieve their 

dreams. 

“When I stood facing the American 

flag and heard the Star Spangled Banner 

played in honor of my country, I knew I 

could never keep my gold medal,” he said. 

“My mind flashed back to my hometown of 

Pontiac, and to all the opportunities my 

parents had encouraged me to take advan- 

tage of while I was growing up.” He has 

been named to the Pontiac Central Hall of 

Fame, Michigan Hall of Fame, and Helms 

Athletic Hall of Fame in Los Angeles. 

In 1968 Jones accepted Mayor John V. 

Lindsay’s appointment as New York City’s 

first recreation commissioner. In 1970 he 

became assistant to the senior vice presi- 

dent for marketing of American Airlines, a 

corporation he served for 18 years in vari- 

ous management positions. He also has 

developed programs and served as commu- 

nity liaison between the corporate world 

and black and Hispanic consumers.

Director, Career Services 

Of course it is too early to tell how the 

Class of ’93 will fare in the job market. The 

last three years have have been especially 

difficult for new graduates, and the time it 

takes to land an appropriate job seems to 

get longer and longer. Nevertheless, con- 

gratulations to the Career Services regis- 

trants and former Cooperative Education 

participants who reported success in find- 

ingjobs. Here’s what we’ve learned so far: 

Full-time teaching contracts were 

awarded to 17 of our School of Education 

graduates: Susan Pollard, John Venter, 

You can he&! 

Barbara Wagner, Paige Balka, Tammy 

Baker, Kristy Sears, Sandra Herre, Dana 

Denney, Lori Morgan, Christina Geible, 

Lisa Harshbarger, Evelyn Karozos, Scott 

Whitlock, Jan Evans, Lori Morgan, Celisa 

Lewis, and Jay Vahle. Dana Denney and 

Celisa Lewis have the distinction of travel- 

ing the farthest to secure employment: 

Dana now works for the San Antonio Inde- 

pendentSchoolDistrictinTexas, andCelisa 

teaches in aNewark, NewJersey, city school. 

These graduates attribute part of their job 

search success to Career Services Wicejob 

bulletins, teacher fairs, candidate direct@

A student’s perspective of life ‘in the field’ 

-and a note f&m the cmp director 

by Dan Plusterm, junior math major 

As a paid actuarial intern at AUL this 

summer, I gainedvaluabIe experience with 

the latest actuarial software. Most of my 

work projects were done on the computer, 

so I learned data-entry and other PC skills. 

I worked with some of the best actuaries in 

Indianapolis, who “showed me the ropes.” 

Even though their own projects kept them 

very busy, they made time to help me with 

my projects and with questions I had about 

their profession. 

I guess the best part of the job was that 

my supervisor, Brenda Kay Smith, gave me 

flexibility and leeway to perform and learn 

from the tasks she assigned to me. Instead 

of giving direct answerS ta questions I had 

about various projects, she would point me 

in the right direction and allow me tolearn 

and grow as an actuarial student. 

It wasn’t all serious business at AUL, 

though. Almost every Fridaywe celebrated 

someone’s birthday m my department with 

a small party! On Wednesdays I played in 

the Aut golf league with several other 

actuaries. We had a “Casual Day.” All the 

employees shed their usual business suits 

and dresses and donned their favorite pair 

of Levi’s and a T-shirt. 

With the help and support of the coop 

erative education staffandeveryone at AUL, 

I came upon a grand opportunity. I gained 

invaluable experience (as we11 as a substan- 

tial resume builder) that will come in really 

handy when I graduate from the University 

of Indianapolis. If it weren’t for this oppor- 

tunity € would have spent the summer at 

home working some deadend job instead 

of here in Indianapolis getting a head start 

on my career aspirations.

QE2 cruise to launch Chorale on tour of Eq$md, Scotland 

The 1992 version ofthe University ofIndianapolis Festival Chorale gathered fm aphoto forpustm2y 

by Dennis Soughon 

In the summer of 1992, as many of you 

may remember, several U of I students, 

faculty, and alumni took a two-week tour of 

some of the most beautiful parts of France, 

Austria, Switzerland, and Italy while repre- 

senting the university. They enjoyed such 

cities as Geneva, Chamonix, Florence, 

Venice, Innsbruck, and Zurich. While per- 

forming concerts of sacred and folk music 

€or people of many different cuItures, they 

discovered that one could truly share an 

international bond with people of another 

culture-by sharing their love of music. 

If you missed that chance to enjoy the 

company and camaraderie this group en- 

joyed, here’s another opportunity for you 

The University of Indianapolis now of- 

fers a core program of undergraduate 

courses leading to an Associate of Sciknce 

degree for radiographers and paramedics. 

The radiology program is available to 

persons who have graduated from an ac- 

credited hospital-based radiography pro- 

gram and who are licensed by the state. 

todiscover this international bondforyour- 

self. The Music Department is sending out 

the call to students, faculty, staff, alumni, 

famiIy, and friends totravel toEurope again! 

On June 13, 1994, the U of I Festival 

Chorale will depart on the famous QE2 

Ocean liner for a two-week concert tour of 

England and Scotland. The QE2 is one of 

the largest, most Iuxurious Ocean liners 

that sails the Atlantic Ocean, and the Cho- 

rale will have the opportunity to rehearse, 

sing, relax, and enjoy all of the amenities 

aboard this beautiful vessel. 

Following a fiveday voyage embarking 

from New York, the Chorale will land in 

Southampton, England, andbegin the tour 

of England and Scotland. While on tour, 

The paramedic program is open to 

those who successfully completed a 1,300- 

haur state-approved program, are certified 

according to state and national standards, 

and are employed as paramedics. 

“Both programs have been designed 

for health science professionals who desire 

to advance their careers and enhance their 

professionalism,”said Dr. Sharon Isaac, act- 

ing dean of the School of Nursing. The 

programs were developed as the result of a 

demand in the Indianapolisarea, she noted. 

The University of Indianapolis will be 

the only institution in the state offering an 

associate degree to radiographerswho were 

trained through a hospital-based certifica- 

tion program, Isaac said. Currently Bail 

State University offers a similar program for 

paramedics through an affiliation with 

Methodist Hospital. St. Vincent Hospitals 

and Health Centers offer the predegree 

accredited programs for paramedics, and 

Community Hospitals offer such prede- 

gee programs for both radiographers and 

paramedics. 

the Chorale will visit and perform in various 

churchesandcathedrals, includingthe 14th- 

century New Battle Abbey outside of 

Edinburgh. At some locations, the Chorale 

will be hosted by English and Scottish choirs 

and will combine with them to perform 

English Cathedral music and works by 

American composers-truly demonstrat- 

ing the international bond of music. 

Wb: Students, faculty, staff, alumni, 

family, friends-we need clappers 

as well as singers! 

what: Five days on the QE2, eight or nine 

days in England and Scotland, one 

day flying home.

Editor'sNote: Shortly befoe press time of the most 

recent issw of the Alumni News, we receiued 

notice of the passing of Evan R Kek, and made 

all-t&f mention of it in thepersonals section. 

Many ofyou wrote to encourage us to pay pqer 

tribute. We thank Dr. Cannony fiacc@tingour

Evan R. Kek, son ofJ. A. and Lucy Kek, 

was born at Collins, Indiana, December 5, 

1909. His father was a minister in the 

Church of the United Brethren in Christ. 

Evan entered Indiana Central College in 

September 1926, and was graduated with a 

major in history in 1930. 

Like many students of that period, he 

worked to pay a significant part of his col- 

lege costs, which then averaged roughly 

$300 per semester for tuition, board, lodg- 

ing, andmiscellaneous items. Before gradu- 

ation he served two years as manager of the 

college bookstore. Shortly thereafter he

erected and the campus was enlarged. 

Three individuals in particular contrib- 

uted ably, generously, and sacrificially to 

the growth and augmented stature of Indi- 

ana Central College. They were: President 

I. J. Good, Evan R. Kek, and Anna Dale Kek. 

Many are the accounts from alumni of 

having payments delayed so they could re- 

main in school, and of making payments in 

kind, even with potatoes and turnips. Not 

generally known is that on occasion Evan 

helped borrow money on his own security 

to pay salaries and other obligations. 

While in Florida in January of this year, 

I had the pleasure of a delightful visit with 

Evan and Anna Dale Kek. In Evan's death 

I lost a long and very valued friend. Also, 

graduates of Indiana Central College and 

the University of Indianapolis have lost one 

who contributed mightily to the advance- 

ment and quality of their alma mater.

Lisa Hicks, 

women's basket- 

ball coach at Man- 

chester College, 

has been named 

to succeed the late 

Chuck Mallender 

as coach of the U 

of I women's bas- 

ketball team. 

She comes to Indianapolis after an 

impressive five-year stint at Manchester, 

where she led the Spartans to an 82-52 

record and four winning seasons, in the 

process becoming the winningest women's 

coach in the college's history. She becomes 

the fourth coach in the Lady Greyhounds' 

1 5yearwomen's basketball history, succeed- 

ing Coach Chuck Mallender, who passed 

away during last season (seepage 15). 

Hicks guided her 1992-93 team to an 

18-5 record for the school's best winning 

percentage ever. Her 1991-92 squad set a 

school mark with 21 victories, with her 

teams advancing to the NAIA playoffs the 

past two seasons. 

Under Hicks' leadership, Manchester 

received votes in both the NCAA I11 and 

NAIA national polls for the first time in 

school history.

Memories of Professor Roland Nelson 

bJ Diane Metheny. Copies of the full text may be 

obtained bJ notzfjing the regzstrar's ofice. 

Twenty-seven years ago, I walked into 

Room 17 in Lilly Science Hall on the campus 

of Indiana Central College and came 

face to face with Roland Nelson for the first 

time. Our first meeting was anything but 

auspicious. As a matter of fact, within five 

minutes of walking into that classroom, my 

i classmates and I were on the verge of walkingbackout 

and marching to the registrar's 

office to drop our first graduate history 

class. Our reason? Within those first five 

minutes Dr. Nelson handed out the course 

syllabus! 

1 For those ofyouwho hadRolandNelson 

as a teacher, I don't need to say anything 

more. For the rest of you, let me explain. 

Professor Nelson's syllabus included the 

following requirements: two "short" term 

papers of 610 pages each, two annotated 

bibliographies of at least 15 entries each, at 

least two oral presentations-not counting 

the almost daily debates and panel presentations, 

and three-well, maybe onlytwoessay 

exams-along with daily assignments 

from a text and a book of readings-all in 

a seven-week summer session! How unreasonable 

could a teacher be! 

We soon learned that the man we initially 

thought was so unreasonable was one 

of the most reasonable people we had ever 

met. This nonjudgmental, philosophical 

man with the marvelous wit guided, c e 

erced, and inspired us-the first graduate 

history students at Indiana Central Col- 

lege-through the new Master of Arts pre 

gram. He continually challenged us to 

become more thoughtful writers, better 

prepared speakers, more critical readers. 

And as is often the case when a master 

teacher works his magic in the classroom, 

he was successful much of the time. We 

simply didn't want to displease this man 

who had such high expectations of his stu- 

dents. And when we did succeed in any 

way-whether by writing a good critique of 

an article or surviving a debate with him- 

albeit battered and bruised-he was genu- 

inely pleased, as are all great teachers when 

their students learn to believe in their abili- 

ties and to achieve beyond their expecta- 

tions. 

Roland Nelson worked tirelessly to 

make his classes fresh, relevant, and inter- 

esting-and maybe just a bit irreverent. 

Even his lectures were memorable. They 

might have been about the future . . . or 

about a day in the life of John Q. Peasant 

. . . or about the balance between liberty 

and control . . . or about the anatomy of a 

revolution . . . or my favorite, "presidents 

who might have been," but theywere always 

creative, oftenvery exciting, certainly never 

routine. They were sprinkled with anec- 

dotes that brought history to life, and they 

were seasonedwith awit thatwas as funny as 

it was brilliant. Dr. Nelson never took 

history or life-or himself-too seriously, 

and he was amused by those who did. 

As I have reminisced about the hours I 

spent in Roland Nelson's classroom, I re- 

called how much he relished a good debate 

about causation in history. He would lead 

us in probing into the reasons an event 

happened . . . its derivation, its advent. 

What gave it its impetus? What was the 

catalyst that brought it about? Why did the 

event occur at a particular time or place in 

history? And he was fascinated by the "what 

ifs" in history. What if some event had not 

occurred? What if Lincoln had not been 

shot? What if Henry Clay had been elected 

president? What if there had been no 

slavery in the South? 

In these last few days I've played the 

"why" and "what if" games Dr. Nelson taught 

me so well: Why did I choose to take his 

class in 1966? What unseen force took me 

to that place? What if I had turned around 

and walked out of his class that first day? I 

have no answers to any of these questions. 

I just know that on a day 27 years ago I met 

a man who became my teacher, colleague, 

and friend-and that knowing him has 

been one of the blessings of my life.
