1969 Memory Book
College Life in 1969
Enrollment was 1,057 with a faculty and staff of over 100 on a campus of 300 acres with 32 major buildings. The J. Graham Brown Campus Center was dedicated September 8-10, 1967.
Tuition was $1,400, room was $200 to $265, board was $425, and fees were $115 per year. Linen service cost $20. There were laboratory fees for certain courses.
Students were expected to be regular and punctual in class attendance. As a matter of courtesy, students absenting themselves from class were expected to explain the absence to the instructor and could be asked to confer with the appropriate Dean.
Students had to attend seven convocations and seven chapels; they could now chose which ones they wished to attend. Failure to attend the required number of assemblies resulted in a student being placed on "Assembly Probation."
Dorms closed on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 10:30 p.m., on Wednesday and Sunday at 11:00 p.m., on Friday at midnight, and on Saturday at 12:30 a.m. Women students were required to sign out for all absences away from the residence after closing hours, all absences away from Hanover College Campus, and all vacation periods.
Late permission (a one hour's extension for closing) was granted on the basis of a maximum number per term, according to class standing. During Fall term, freshmen were allowed 6, sophomores were allowed 10, juniors were allowed 14, and seniors were allowed 18. During Winter and Spring terms combined, freshmen were allowed 9, sophomores were allowed 14, juniors were allowed 19, and seniors were allowed 24. Senior women were allowed to have keys to the front door of their residence hall.
Women could wear slacks in the dining room to breakfast each day and to class when it was 10 degrees or less. Instructors could allow women to wear Bermudas or slacks to Saturday morning classes. Pin curls, rollers, and such were not to be worn in public.
No social events were held Monday through Thursday. They could be held on Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons and evenings, and Sunday evenings, if properly chaperoned. Only teas, open houses, and picnics could be held on Sunday and no intercollegiate, intramural, or organized activities could be pursued on Sunday.
Students were not to have pets, firearms, intoxicating beverages, or electrical appliances. Electric razors were permissible. No tape or nails were to be put on or in the walls.
All students, except freshmen and students who did not have a 2.00 G.P.A. out of a possible 4.00, could have cars on campus which had to registered in the Office of the Dean of Men for a $2 fee. Cars were not to be driven or parked on the lawns or walks.
Hanover Traditions: There was no smoking on campus. There was no athletic activity on Sunday nor on the lawns of the campus. Freshmen wore their "beanies" with pride.
