Title

"Ex-Bucknellian Relates Day at Howard University"

Subject

A first-hand account of the Howard Exchange Program

Description

In this Bucknellian article from May 1958, Bucknell student Biff Ries recounts an average day at Howard University, the historically black university that was founded in 1867 in Washington, D.C.. He spent a semester there during the Bucknell-Howard Exchange semester that spring. He talks about the stress and tight schedule of the day, and he cites the church as the one place where color seems to completely evaporate. After a grueling day of class, worship, and community fun, Biff falls into bed, and the fire alarm sounds. He ends with a remark on the necessity to look his door at Howard, something he wouldn’t have done at Bucknell.
