The above quote is from Jeffrey D. Jones—Class of 1968. Read the full memory below:

The Rock opened my freshman year and is full of good memories. Probably one of the most significant was barricading myself in a carrel in my junior year to write a paper on the New England Anti-Slavery Response to the Mexican War. I still have it, with Professor Thomas’s comments, mostly good ones. That experience made me realize I should have majored in history, but it was too late. About 15 years later, however, it led to an MA in American History from Villanova. I thought it was yet another in my collection of unmarketable degrees, but it actually led to writing several articles and books on American Baptist history.
