“My dorm friends dressed me as

Daisy Mae, complete with pigtails

and freckles. The Lambda Chi’s

selected Owen Davidson as their Lil

Abner. He and I teamed up and went

door to door down Front St. asking

for a $1.00 donations. Less than

three years later I would marry that

same Lil Abner and this past summer

we celebrated our 50th wedding

anniversary.”

-Joan Worth Davidson ’67

Professor Spotlight: Virginia Bereit

“What made my Education classes very

impressive were great professors, one

special one was Virginia Bereit, the

counselor and Critic Teacher for

Student Teaching. That she was a Delta

the ultimate professional...”

“The girls in Hulet were known for being

adventurous. We got a campus wide rule made

because we wore shorts under our formals and

came back to the dorm in the shorts, carrying

our formals. From then on, you had to leave

and return in the formal.

Also, we had a huge fire escape down the side

of the house and if you were very quiet you

could sneak out without the housemother

hearing you.”

-Jane Delcamp ’67

May Day

Professor Spotlight: Dan Keck

“What an unexpected surprise to receive an

invitation to the Class of 1967 Reunion. I

was honored to be included. I regret I am

not be able to attend. However, I do want to

send greetings to the Class of 1967. Some

of my fondest professional memories are of

the years I spent at BW and of the students

I taught as well as those that I worked with

outside the classroom. It is nice to be

remembered after all of this time and I

know that you will have a wonderful

weekend!

seemed appropriate that my

roommate and I should deposit

soil pipe and into our very dear

housemother’s bedroom.”

Kohler Hall Memories

“On reflecting back to my college years at Baldwin-Wallace, I realize that

surviving those small rooms in Kohler built character. If the college kids

today only knew…saw...The freshman girls in Kohler had a lot of fun

together. They were all so friendly and that made for a positive start in our

new world. It was sometimes a real challenge to trudge through Winter

snow up Seminary Street as we made our way towards North Campus in

Winter. It was always nice to come home to Kohler Hall, and especially to

our own little basement dining hall.”
