Description
Mabelle Hardy reminisces about attending the University of Montana (UM) during the 1930s. Hardy recalls working in the Registrar’s Office which created and maintained all student records by hand. She discusses the shift in student demographics during the 1930s (mostly young, single students) to those of the 1950s (more young, married couples with children). Hardy talks about returning to UM as a social work instructor in 1960, and she mentions the Vietnam War protests campus during that decade. She describes the various presidents that served while she was both student and instructor including Robert Pantzer and George Finlay Simmons. Hardy also recalls various student traditions in which she participated, such as the Aber Day cleanup and Singing on the Steps, and her favorite classes and professors.
