JFK Street was Boylston Street, with a Mobil station and Vespa dealer. A vast trolley yard stood where the KSG now stands, and Quincy was under construction.

Although discipline is important, a society that does not give people a second chance is no fun.” Most of his colleagues stood behind his decision. Some, however, were not so happy, writing him angry letters and even going over his head to try to reverse the ruling. To diffuse the situation, the department scheduled a forum with select members of the faculty and the student council in which my father would defend...
