Hanover Memories
Fond Hanover Memories
In the last edition of @Hanover, we asked alumni to submit their favorite Hanover memory. Though we didn't get many takers, here's hoping that these stories inspire you to send us your own special moments. We'll be sure to post them in the next edition of this e-newsletter. You can send your Hanover Memories to guthrie@hanover.edu.
"My favorite event was the tea for the incoming freshmen. It was quite the dressy affair. I can still see all the white, pastel, flowery dresses, accompanied by hats and white gloves. In addition, there was an assignment I loved, given by Dr. Robert Fox. We journaled (about) our days at Hanover. I recall walking across the campus in the fall, seeing the varicolored leaves on the green carpet and wondering how I could possibly catch the beauty I was seeing and translate it into words. I wish I still had that journal so I could compare that young maiden to the woman I've become."

"One of my favorite memories was the beautiful songfest the Beta's performed for our pin serenade when my husband-to-be (Ken Cozier '58) and I stood on the porch of Donner Hall."

"My father, James M. McKeand '27, majored in both math and chemistry and was a talented mile-runner for the College. For one of his classes, he had to survey the layout for a road to surround the campus going out around OLD Classic Hall. He told me the story and walked me around the course while I was a student at Hanover from 1962-1966. The total length of the road was exactly one mile (very useful for him and his fellow runners) and it happened to follow the shape of Indiana. Since the construction of Science Hall, the original path has been changed and lengthened. When at the steps near the point you would theoretically be at Evansville on the Indiana map; when moving around to the brick home once occupied by Dr. Parker, you are at Cincinnati. The best way to see the similarity between the Indiana map and the road around the campus is to look at an aerial view or a campus map."
