Clark recalls what brought him to UNCG from Southern Methodist University, the establishment of the master's degree in physics, the leadership and faculty he hired and the goals of the department. He describes his research interests and the work of the Faculty Council and tenure and promotion committee, on which he served. He remembers the administrations of Chancellors James Ferguson and William Moran and Dean Mereb Mossman. He discusses the changes in campus atmosphere, the lack of competitive funding to lure graduate students and the relationship of women to physics as students and faculty. He compares the student body over his tenure. Subjects: Anna Joyce Readon (former Head of the Physics Department), the Physics Department, coeducation, his work in theoretical physics and lattice dynamics, Gaylord Hageseth (former Head of Physics Department), the Tisdale Amendment, the Faculty Council, Mereb Mossman, Chancellors Ferguson, Singletary and Moran, comparing current students to those he taught fifteen to twenty years ago.
