Sojourn at Stevenson College: Campus Tales
from a Bygone Era
Robert E. Kendig
ISBN 0-9755910-6-1
$15.95
December 2005
[ From chapter 1: ]
Stevenson College was a church-affiliated,
four-year liberal arts institution, which in 1937
meant that if you were of the same religious persuasion
that governed the college, you possessed the basis
for social acceptance in the community until you
proved otherwise. Since I was not so religiously
persuaded, I was suspect from the first day.
|
| A delightful, nostalgic, and witty
collection of episodes about a fictional college
campus and its environs in the late 1930s, narrated
by a young history professor on his first teaching
assignment. Characters from President J. Armistead
MacIlwaine to the chair's secretary, Mrs. Garber,
from the affable landlady Mrs. Quick to the bumbling
Police Chief Bridwell to the denizens of the Eagle
Tonsorial Parlor populate a landscape that anyone
familiar with small towns or small colleges will
readily recognize. On the lively stage of Stevenson
College plays out a full act of the human comedy
that will bring smiles and insights to readers young
and old. |
