FLASHBACK: The following is a remembrance of Chapman over the past sixty years which appeared in \u201cTalk of the Town,\u201d Spring Edition, 2022<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As we have just celebrated the 160th Year of Chapman, it is a great time for looking back at some of the school’s history. It is truly unbelievable to reflect on the many changes Chapman has experienced since I enrolled here as a junior history major in the fall of 1961.\u00a0 Nineteen-sixty-one, the memorable year of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr\u2019s. visit to the college and the 100th <\/sup>Anniversary of Hesperian College\u2019s founding. Yet, with an increase since that time from a student population of roughly 700 to just short of ten-thousand students today, Chapman has retained its dedication to a value-centered education that stresses the vital elements of a liberal arts education.<\/p>\n

Now, as a comprehensive university, Chapman offers a multitude of majors offered by eleven colleges.\u00a0 In the early 1960s there were no more than a handful of majors and nearly all undergrads became teachers, ministers, musicians, and business leaders.<\/p>\n

For instance, how many colleges today enter a pachyderm into an intercollegiate elephant race?\u00a0 True, we didn\u2019t host the event, but we represented the college by entering \u201cCalvin Coolidge\u201d (who said he would never run again?) into the event at a vacant Orange County State Fullerton field (named \u201cDumbo Downs\u201d).<\/p>\n

\"Community<\/p>\n

Another Chapman first, of course, was the Seven Seas Program (now Semester-at-Sea), sponsored by Chapman from 1965 to 1975.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Activities and traditions differed then. Women students\u2019 dorm curfew was 10:00 pm on weekdays and midnight on weekends. Mandatory attendance at Chapel on Tuesdays was a long-established tradition and most students resided in the dorms.\u00a0 Just a few years earlier students had been housed in the old buildings along Glassell in Old Towne. The Victorian house at Olive and Palm, which housed about 10 women (and a \u201cdorm mother\u201d), by 1966 had become the Seven Seas offices.\u00a0 My faculty mentor in the program, Dr. Ashleigh Brilliant (yes, that’s his real name!), dubbed it the \u201cPalmolive House,\u201d and in appreciation, the soap company donated products to the school.<\/p>\n

The first floor of Roosevelt Hall (then \u201cFounders Hall\u201d) housed the cafeteria until a new facility opened in what is now DeMille Hall, where dining on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons required semi-formal attire (skirts or dresses for women, white shirts and ties for men). The only \u201cofficial\u2019 parking area was a dirt (mud during a rain) lot.\u00a0 Classes were held in Wilkinson, Founders, Reeves, and Smith Halls, and an ancient garage, battered truck, and gas pump adorned the area now covered by the library.\u00a0 The entire college library, by the way, was housed on the second floor of Memorial Hall.<\/p>\n

Despite its small size and rustic features, 1960s Chapman was an oasis of culture in sparsely populated Orange County. As one of only two accredited 4-year colleges in the OC, Chapman hosted a variety of special events, including student theatre productions directed by Prof. Henry Kemp-Blair and music programs directed by Bill Hall, along with a speaker\u2019s symposium. The community enjoyed presentations by John Kenneth Galbraith, Helen Hayes, T.H. White, W.H. Auden, and Margaret Mead, to name a few. In 1962, Aldous Huxley presented \u201cDoors of Perception,\u201d about the experimental use of LSD! (Few remembered when Huxley died a year later because he passed on the same day JFK was assassinated; C.S. Lewis also died on that day.)<\/p>\n

Class size averaged 10\u201417 students, and few exceeded 25.\u00a0 Favorite professors included Kurt Bergel, Jim \u201cKiller\u201d Miller, Walter Bock, Bert Williams, Henry Kemp-Blair, Don Booth, Edgar Sholund, who hosted honor students at his home as he performed classical pieces on the piano, and Jim Christian and Ron Huntington, who accompanied students on \u201cfield trips\u201d to the gargantuan Pickwick Bookstore in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

As \u201cpanty raids\u201d yielded to \u201cundie runs,\u201d Chapman evolved into today\u2019s world-class institution, offering a multitude of degree programs supported by student internships, workshops, and networking events. \u201cThe ship\u201d and \u201cCalvin\u201d are gone, but our university has evolved into a world-class Research Two institution that hosts students from across the globe. Chapman is widely known for the annual Economic Forecast, Chapman Celebrates, the Huell Howser and War Letters Collections, Dodge College film school, Dr. Marilyn Harran\u2019s Rodgers Center for Holocaust Studies and many other programs.<\/p>\n

Finally, through all the years Chapman\u2019s commitment to personalized and value-centered learning has never wavered; the Chapman spirit remains, offering our students a unique \u201cWindow to the World.\u201d<\/p>\n
