LookingBack Those were the days when students did not go and come freely the way they do now. To leave the campus you had to have permission. Dean Rush — I don’t remember her first name — was the one with the power. She said when you go and when you come. We attended vespers service on Sunday afternoon, and that was mandatory. You had a special seat in B.N. Duke Auditorium. Dean Rush would walk the aisle and check the seats. She knew who was present and who was absent, and you’d better not be absent. I don’t remember what would happen (if a student was absent.) I was never absent — not without permission at least.
