He recalls racial tensions between blacks and whites, creation of the Neo-Black Society, and the cafeteria workers' strike in 1969. He describes the lessening of restrictions for residential students, loss of old traditions and acquisition of new ones and development of the Greek system on campus. He explains the role commuting students played on university development and the change in graduate student status over the years.
