It just sounds like something he would say. The only thing missing was “Gentlemen:”. This was before the girls made their way into the injineering skool.} # # # # # |

If I can’t have stories about poor people return great sums of lost money or stories that reflect the elemental goodness of people, I like the odd ball ones that give us insight into what we don’t know. I think this is one such story. How does one explain this? Does the Universe have so many many things we can’t explain? I’d say it does. |

But when I saw that the majority of my five older brothers and about 50 other people educated in that one-room schoolhouse planned to attend as well as some of teachers, I knew we had to make the 3,000-mile journey. So we eagerly look forward to that trip down memory lane and what’s left of the willow lined lane east of Yankton. About 40 years ago when I was enrolled at Manhattan

walked to school every day down a dirt road with my five brothers and twin
sister to the schoolhouse. My classmates held me in a certain awe after that
admission, except for the few who would not believe there was anybody alive

JNEWS: Neuhauser, The Burlington Free Press ( *** begin quote *** In a ceremony complete with faculty and guests in full academic regalia, the college welcomed its first new president in 11 years. The school’s board of trustees chose Neuhauser to succeed Marc vanderHeyden as president in March, and he began his tenure this summer. Wearing the college’s purple presidential robe as he delivered a 20-minute inaugural address, Neuhauser spoke about the legacy of the college and challenges faced by higher education. He said his biggest challenge would be to increase awareness about the school. “We have to get the word out,” he said “It’s not as well known as it should be.” He ended his address by saying, “I very much look forward to the work ahead.” Neuhauser served on St. Michael’s board of trustees from 2001 until he became president. He left Sen. Patrick Leahy, an alumnus of the college, was among the guests on hand to welcome the new president. “He inherits a college that is different in many ways from when I was here, but in ways it has stayed the same and kept its core values,” Leahy said. “I think he is well suited to continue that.” Other guests included Sen. “Education is not simply a building block but, in fact,
the very cornerstone of economic progress,” he said. “I’m confident Student Association President Alex Monahan said he values Neuhauser’s openness and accessibility. “Jack has already been to a lot of athletic events and is showing his face around campus,” he said. “That’s really important to students.” Only about 50 students attended the inauguration ceremony, but Monahan said it is normal for students to shy away from formal events. Today, the college will hold an informal celebration for students with a barbecue and broadcast of the Red Sox game outside. Many students are looking forward to welcoming the new president in an informal setting, Monahan said. “It will be a great opportunity for students to meet Jack and see him doing his normal thing,” he said. # # # BOX: Neuhauser file John “Jack” Neuhauser, the new
