“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.”

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

“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

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.”
