Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Sharon Olson (1969 BA Art History) speaks about her lifelong relationship with Stanford, having been born into a Stanford family and living in the Palo Alto area for many years after graduation. In this interview she describes Stanford in the 1960s, including changes she observed for female students. She recalls her study abroad program in Italy, special events and school traditions (including card stunts at football games), and the impact of the anti- war movement on her worldview. She concludes by talking about her job at the Stanford Library and her eventual career at the Palo Alto City Library.
