Lefty was in his first year as Maryland's basketball coach. The football team continued to lose. Jim Kehoe's track team remained dominant. Hair came to College Park during the Vietnam moratorium as did William Kunstler, Jane Fonda and the National Guard following the Cambodian invasion. Maryland was well known at the time for its physics department and school of engineering.
Good memories remain.
That photo was taken in the fall of 1969 when Hagerstown went coed. I was entering my junior year then, and I moved onto the fifth floor of Hagers-town that year. It was truly a wonderful experience and the right move by the university. Hagerstown was far more civilized and enjoyable than the all-male dorms I lived in during my freshman and sophomore years. And of course time has proven the correctness of the experiment, as the vast majority of all dorms nationwide are now coed.
