This exhibit was originally prepared in 1996 for the 40th reunion of the Class of 1956 by College Archivist Ann Keene. It has been reposted in commemoration of the 45th reunion held in 2001. -Michael Lear, Archives and Special Collections Assistant, 2001 When the Class of 1956 arrived on the Franklin and Marshall Campus , you were greeted by President Theodore "Prexy" Distler. He welcomed an all-male freshman class of 292 out of a total enrollment at the College of 1100 students. Freshman who were not commuting to campus were required to live in the rather spartan quarters provided in Hartman Hall. Upperclassmen, however, had the option of living in fraternity houses and in rooms rented in private homes. For the privilege of attending F&M, the sum of $1310 a year was paid for tuition and room and board. Hazing was a major part of the Freshman experience on campus during the 1950's. The College Blue Book, published each year for the incoming freshman, enumerated the Freshman Regulations. Among the rules to be followed were: * Freshman shall purchase the traditional identification badge and hat. These must be worn at all times on campus with the brim down.
