Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Peter Jensen (AB Japanese, 1972) reflects on his time at Stanford in the late 1960s and early 1970s, how Stanford influenced his view of the world, and comments on the need for diversity of thought and expression in universities today. He speaks about participating in ROTC during anti-Vietnam War protests, attending the Rose Bowl, working at the Gym Store, and sleeping outside one summer rather than living in the dorms to save money. He explains his decision to major in Japanese, recalls a memorable course assignment, and talks about his life after Stanford and his thoughts on the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns and vaccinations policies.
