Editor’s Note: Last August, President Jim Peterson ’64 informed the College’s board of trustees of his intention to retire at the end of June 2008. As that time draws near, Vice President for College Relations Gwendolyn Freed, representing the Quarterly, sat down with Peterson to hear his impressions about his priorities and accomplishments, and about the future of higher education and Gustavus in particular.
