Taking a look back: Send us your college memories
The theme of The Hanoverian's fall issue will be history – especially history as it affected you, our alumni, while you were attending Hanover. And we are asking for your contributions.
Please take time to think back to your undergraduate years and recall historic moments, either serious or humorous, that you would like to have published. You may e-mail those memories to Sandra Guthrie at guthrie@hanover.edu or call her at 812-866-7008.
Here are some questions that will hopefully jog your memory:
- What significant world, national or local event occurred while you were at Hanover? How do you remember it?
- What are some historical facts or myths that you heard about Hanover?
- What professor or class sparked your interest in history?
- As a student, were you aware of any historic event directly affecting Hanover, or in which Hanover played a role??
- Did you participate in – or were you victimized by – a dorm or fraternity prank? (The emphasis here should be on the hysterical, not historical.)
- What college customs do you remember that are now considered outdated?
- Who remembers the Campus Cabin?
- What Hanover ghost stories have you heard?
The final question is for alumni who were involved in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War or the Persian Gulf War:
- What was it like returning home? What role, if any, did Hanover play in helping you get re-established during peacetime?
Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.
