In Carlisle, Pennsylvania, at the weekly faculty meeting at Dickinson College, the only recorded item of business was that "Fredericks [John Durell Frederick, '64] ...being found intoxicated. He was found also to be neglecting his recitations." He was awarded "minus marks" that placed him perilously close to expulsion. The nineteen-year-old did not finish his degree and became a photographer and father of six in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. (By John Osborne)
