The Change of Culture at Hobart and William Smith Colleges (1965-1972)

After reading through our timeline on the change of culture at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, our final event led you here. On this site, you will find the citations of where our information came from to create a timeline on the change of culture in the sixties through the United States and Hobart and William Smith lens.

We observed parallels between historically relevant national events and their echo on private liberal arts institutions, with Hobart and William Smith Colleges as a case study.

Together we researched major events between the dates of 1965 -1972 to then search for keywords within our colleges archives, specifically within the student run news press, The Herald. What events inspired activism among the students, staff, and faculty alike.
