Hindsight
Learning outside of the classroom has always been a hallmark
of the liberal arts education at Loras. For many years students
at Loras College have participated in mock political conventions
as a way to actively participate in real life experiences.
This photo shows one of the mock conventions in the late
1960s held in the Fieldhouse. Tom Auge, Ph.D., professor of
history, is shown in the center just to the left of the New Jersey
delegation pole sign.
Photo contributed by the Loras College Archives. The archives, as
well as the Loras College Center for Dubuque History, are interested
in collecting Loras College and Dubuque memorabilia including
photographs, postcards, letters, diaries, etc. Contact Mike Gibson,
archivist, at Loras College, 1450 Alta Vista St., Dubuque, Iowa,
52001, or call (563) 588-7163, or e-mail michael.gibson@loras.edu.
