Abstract/Contents

Abstract: G. Robert Hamrdla (1959 AB Mathematics, MA History) shares memories from his time at Stanford in the 1950s, beginning with moving into Wilbur Hall for his freshman year before the building was completed. He describes residential life on campus, including his time as a resident assistant and later a member of a fraternity. He describes student hangouts on campus and around Palo Alto, as well as student traditions like Midnight on the Quad and the Big Game bonfire. Turning to academics, he recalls studying abroad in Germany and visiting a divided Berlin, as well as the influence of math professor Mary Sunseri. He concludes by describing some of the many changes he has observed at Stanford through his years of continued involvement.
