Sure was an ugly campus back in 1954. Old Main was a wreck back then. Doesn't seem much better today, from what I've seen. One year was enough for me and my wallet. Joined the DPD in the summer of '55 and never went back and no regrets. I've never needed Shakespeare or calculus since.

Sidebar. I did work in a hardware store in those years. Learned more in that hardware store that benefited me in later years than anything I learned at WSU. Just sayin'.
