Throwback Thursday - 1961

Prof. Slagg reassures a freshman student during the chaotic registration period. In the fall of 1961, students could expect to spend upwards of two hours in Burke Administration Building when finalizing their schedules.

That fall, 1036 Olivetians registered for classes. This year, the freshman class alone is expected to reach nearly 800 - thank goodness for the convenience of online registration!

  1. And in the 70's it was moved to Chalfant. It seemed like it was an all day event most years. It probably wasn't that bad, but sure seemed like it. We went from table to table all around Chalfant to get everything taken care of. I'm glad things are so much easier and quicker for my kids at ONU now.
