Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Christine Pickford (1969 AB Psychology) shares memories of her time at Stanford in the 1960s. She describes her family’s long-standing connection to the university, including her grandfather’s attendance in the early 1900s and attending Stanford with her twin sister. Pickford also recalls being self-conscious about her disabilities resulting from childhood polio and some of the challenges of being at Stanford with a disability. She talks about the women’s dress code and bicycling on campus and fondly describes the support she received from anthropology professor James Gibbs, psychology professor Eleanor Maccoby, and the head of women’s sports, Pamela Strathairn.
