he new president of Cumberland County

College, Dr. Yves Salomon-Fernandez, is
completing her fourth month. Two associateprofessors, John Adair and John Gibbs, are
in their 50th years. When the teachers began work at
New Jerseys first community college with its own campus, the school had just a few dozen faculty members and
a few hundred students. When the new top executive
came in on June 6 of this year, there were almost 200 fulland part-time faculty members and over 4,000 learners.
All three interviewees told The Grapevine a story of
rapid and ever-changing growth, but a steadfast and
simple mission: Bcing a catalyst for propelling students
and alumnifrom all walks of lifeto successful,
impactful careers and meaningful lives, near and far.
This year, Cumberland (CCC) marks a half-century
of trying to fulfill that promise.
Salomon-Fernandez, a Haitian immigrant to the
United States fluent in four languages and a product of
public higher education, is already forging close bonds
with community leaders to ensure that recent high
school graduates, non-traditional students, the middle
class, the unemployed, and marginalized populations
get what they need to prosper as individuals and to
lead or help the economic vitality of the region.
New to this community and this college, she offers an
interesting perspective on the history and culture of both.
The college has a deep legacy, she says. It began
A Preemie Promise Made

Century Savings Bank pledges to
match up to $15K in donations to
help preemies at Inspiras NICU.
{ STORY AND PHOTO BY MIKE EPIFANIO }
hen he was born last year weighing barely

more than two pounds, Joey Maurice was
in for the fight of his young life.
Fortunately, the doctors and medical staff at the
Deborah F. Sager Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at
Inspira Medical Center Vineland had the training,
expertise and facilities necessary to help Joey survive.
Joey and his mother, Kaitlynn, attended a press
conference last week at Century Savings Banks
Orchard Road branch where the banks President and
CEO Dave Hemple announced a Preemie Promise
initiative. The bank will match donations from the
public dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 each year for the
next three years. The fundraiser is a partnership with
the Deborah F. Sager Memorial Fund (visit dfsmf.org)
to make vital contributions to the Deborah F. Sager
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Inspira Vineland.
Also attending the event last Wednesday was Dr.
Muhammad Anwar (pictured above, at center, with
Kaitlynn and Joey Maurice and Hemple), who said
that, with the communitys help, miracles like Joeys
can happen.

Kaitlynn Maurice was not due to deliver Joey until October 5 of last year, but
went to Inspira with abdominal pain
andafter an emergency C-section due to
her placenta separating from her uterus
delivered Joey on July 5 after only 26
weeks of gestation. According to Dr.
Muhammad Anwar, Joey wasnt breathing and his heartbeat was weak. We resuscitated him and then brought him to the
intensive care unit to monitor his blood
chemistry and place him on a breathing
machine. Joey stayed in the hospital for 97
days and gradually

improved after a lot
of sleepless nights
for us andIm
surefor his parents.
Kaitlynn Maurice
said that she and her
family are forever
grateful to Dr. Anwar
and his nursing staff. We would not be
here with Joey if not for the Deborah F.
Sager NICU.
Hemple said that Century Savings Bank
has a long history of supporting the fund
and Inspira Health Network. We learned
about the Deborah F. Sager Memorial
Fund a number of years ago and partnered
with the fund with contributions in the

past. We feel like we played a small part in
the very large contribution the DFSMF
has made to Inspira in expanding the
services of the NICU, which has since
been renamed the Debroah F. Sager
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
This Preemie Promise effort is an evolution of that initial partnership. From
October through December for the next
three years, we will be taking donations
from our customers at all of our branch
locations and matching them one-to-one
up to $5,000 each year, Hemple added.
Should total donations reach $5,000
during the three-month effort each of the
next three years, the bank will kick in

$15,000 for a potential total of $30,000 in

donations.
Founded in memory of her daughter by
Penny Sager-Rossi in 1978, the Deborah F.
Sager Memorial Fund has made vital contributions, such as donating more than
$250,000 to the neonatal intensive care
unit that now bears the name Deborah F.
Sager Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Century Savings has supported the
DFSMF and will continue to do so
through this Preemie Promise initiative,
said Penny Sager-Rossi. Debbies legacy
will give life to other children in our area
and they will have an opportunity to
thrive because of this program. This is
tremendously meaningful because we are
giving back to our community and are
committed to improving the healthcare
for children into the future.
According to the DFSMF, an estimated 10-15 percent of all infants will spend
some time in a neonatal intensive care
unit. Inspiras Level IIIa Deborah F. Sager
NICU has Nemours neonatologists and
trained NICU professionals on hand 24/7.
Because critically ill newborns require
around-the-clock attention, parents are
often relieved that the expert care of the
Deborah F. Sager NICU exists so close to
home, reducing the time and stress of
travel.
A parents best investment is spending
time with babies like Joey and the return
on that investment is evident, stated Dr.
Anwar. At the Deborah F. Sager NICU we
provide excellent care close to home in
South Jersey for newborns with complex
and critical problems. Babies have exceptional outcomes right here without having
to cross the bridges into Philadelphia or
Delaware for most services. I

Vineland Pride in Fall

Enter a scarecrow, vote for your favorite, and/or come out for the
Pumpkin Patch Party.
s summer transitions to fall,

Main Street Vineland is ready to
switch gears and bring some
autumn cheer and festivities to
our downtown. What could be more synonymous with fall than scarecrows and
pumpkins! Well, we have both in store
and even more.
First, were partnering with the
Vineland Board of Education in a
Scarecrow Challenge contest. All
Vineland public and private schools, as well
as local clubs and organizations, are invited
to design scarecrows. The scarecrows, situated on frames made available through the
Board of Education, will be mounted on
downtown lampposts on Landis Avenue.
Some lampposts will be decorated with
cornstalks. You can contact the Main Street
Vineland office, if youre interested in
entering a scarecrow. The deadline for
entering scarecrows will be October 7 and

they will go up on October 17. For more
information on entering a scarecrow, call us
at the Main Street Vineland office. To order
a frame, contact Ross Stanger, the Vineland
Board of Educations supervisor of instruction, at 856-794-6700, ext. 2016 or at
rstanger@vineland.org.
At that point, were leaving it up to you
to vote. The idea is to make this a real
peoples choice contest. You can vote
online by going to the link on the Main
Street Vineland websitemainstreetvineland.orgor you can vote by
paper ballot in selected downtown
Vineland stores. If you vote by paper ballots, you must do so by the end of the day
on Thursday, October 27. The scarecrows
will be judged on creativity and design. I
want to thank Ross for all his help in this
project.
Then, on Saturday, October 29, head

over to the mini-parks at Landis Avenue
and the Boulevard for a Pumpkin Patch
Party from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The miniparks will be decorated for fall, with hay
bales, pumpkins, mumsthe whole bit.
Well have activities such as a DJ and
pumpkin painting. Well have apple cider
to drink and lots more. At that time, well
announce the winner of the Scarecrow
Challenge and the two runner-ups. Well
have some great prizes for them.
This is yet another way in which were
making our downtown a focal point for
our city and making our mini-parks the
center of activity for which they were createdsomething I covered in one of my
previous columns. It also brings the community togetherchildren and adults
alikein an act of Vineland Pride.
Whether you want to enter a scarecrow,
vote for your favorite, and/or come out for

the Pumpkin Patch Party, your participation will help make our downtown the best
it can be.
***
Speaking of pride in Vineland, come
out and see firsthand Vinelands heritage
at our next Downtown Merchants Meetand-Greet. It is coming up on Thursday,
October 6, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., at the
Vineland Historical & Antiquarian Society,
108 S. Seventh Street.
These Meet-and-Greets are held every
other month and are a great opportunity
to bring the various downtown businesses
together to get to know and network with
each other and with Main Street Vineland
representatives. We also want the public
to come and interact with our downtown
merchants. Youll discover the people,
places, and events that built Vineland and
made it greatas well as spend a good
time with people who are making it great
today. I

Parallels in
Punishment
The attempt to hang John Lee occurred only nine
years after Charles K. Landis trial in the shooting
death of Uri Carruth had concluded.
the grapevine { 7 }
years after Charles K. Landis trial in the

shooting death of Uri Carruth had concluded. And this region was just as
inclined to public executions as England.
Capital punishment had been dispensed in
Cumberland County beginning in 1758
when, according to the county website, a
man was hanged on what is now
Bridgetons Broad Street for stealing horses.
In 1799, in a scenario very similar to that
of Lees, a man accused of murdering his
employer was tried, convicted and hanged
from an oak tree on Roadstown Road. In
1844, a servant girl received the same fate
for poisoning her bosses, but the countys
use of capital punishment ended with the
1864 hanging of two men convicted of
murder. Landis acquittal in his trial 12
years later averted even the thought of
another county execution.
Swarbrick understood that Lees case
had become steeped in legend over time
and was careful in relaying the tale. In
2011, he qualified Lees guilt by telling an
audience in Edinburgh, Scotland, The
theory goes that he didnt do it. He also
reported that Lee later went to Australia
and they made a movie of him. That 1912
silent film, the first of three Australian
features recounting his story, was based
on a play Lee helped put together. The
films aided in the creation of a myth that
incorrectly had him relocating to
Australia. He did, however, travel to and
settle in the U.S. by 1916. Research over
the past 10 years has revealed that he
remained here until his death in 1945 and
is buried under the name James Lee in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
So, what saved Lee from death at the gallows on that February day? The most interesting theory has it that the townsfolk,
believing Lee was innocent, constructed the
gallows to include a warped plank of wood
that abutted the trap door. The board was
located where an attendant would stand,
and his weight would wedge it against the
trap door, which was then unable to open.
When the executioner attempted to determine what had gone awry, the attendant
would abandon his position and the door
would open. Its a rather ingenious way to
prevent a hanging. I
any Americans familiar

with the legendary 19th
century Englishman John
Lee probably first learned
about the so-called Man They Could Not
Hang through Fairport Conventions 1971
album Babbacombe Lee. And while Lee
does not directly relate to local history, his
tale is too fascinating not to retell. The
fact that it occurred in the timeframe of
Cumberland Countys most famous shooting and that its conclusion has a curious
American twist only adds to its appeal.
For those not familiar with it, the story
of John Lee concerns a former British
sailor who took employment as a servant
for Miss Emma Keyse, an elderly woman
living in Babbacombe. While in her
employ, he became the primary suspect
when she was brutally murdered. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to hang but
managed to cheat death when the trap
door of the gallows failed to open, not
once, but on three consecutive tries.
English law only permits three attempts,
so Lee spent the next 22 years in prison.
Fairports concept album about Lee was
the brainchild of the bands fiddler, Dave
Swarbrick, whose passing in June deprived
the world of a truly consummate musician.
His work on the project was nothing short
of an exercise in historical research. The
band had already involved itself with musical history, having resurrected, in electric
arrangements, a plethora of ballads and
dance tunes from the British Isles that
included Matty Groves, Tam Lin and
Sir Patrick Spens. But Babbacombe Lee
was an opportunity for the group to provide its own take on a legendary event.
The Fairport treatment presents Lee
sympathetically, largely due to Swarbricks
primary source in his research, an account
of the ordeal written by Lee himself and
published in Lloyds Weekly. The songs
place the listener inside the mind and the
situations of the subject as his life is
recounted from his time at sea to his
employment with Keyse and finally in his
moments on the gallows, rendered fittingly
in a panic-driven tempo.
The attempt to hang John Lee
occurred on February 23, 1885, only nine

Code Blue Coalition Seeks

Churches and Volunteers To
House Homeless in Winter
Rev. Dr. Robin Weinstein, President of
the M25 Initiative and Chair of the
Cumberland County Code Blue Coalition,
has announced that volunteer applications
are now being accepted for the 2016-2017
Code Blue season in Bridgeton, Millville,
and Vineland. Additionally, host and supporting churches are needed in all three
municipalities.
The Cumberland County Code Blue
program has become a model for our
region and throughout the country because
it is 100 percent volunteer-operated and is
funded by private contributions, said Dr.
Weinstein. This program unites our community to ensure that no one is without
shelter during the cold winter weather.
Together we have provided emergency
warming centers to over 100 individuals
and meals to over 200 during the winter
months. We need more volunteers and
churches to help in this effort.
The main function of Code Blue is to
provide emergency shelter during frigid
temperatures. Beginning in the 2015-2016
Code Blue Season, all three municipalbased programs joined together to form the
Cumberland County Code Blue Coalition.
Volunteers, organizations, and churches
that wish to participate should visit codeblueccnj.org and fill out the appropriate
forms. All volunteers (new and returning)
need to fill-out an application. Churches
that participate as a host church will
receive a monetary stipend per night of
activation to defray costs associated with
the program. Those without internet access
can request paper applications by calling 1844-M25-HOPE.
The Code Blue Season begins on
November 1 and has been extended to April
15, due to the extended cold weather last
season. For more information about the

M25 Initiative or Code Blue, visit m25initative.org or call 1-844-M25-HOPE.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Bits and Pieces
It's time to break from tradition.
Vineland announced that trick-ortreat hours will be from 5 to 8 p.m.
on October 31. They got the day
right but not the time frame. There
is no logical need to have children
trick-or-treating for three hours. Two
hours is more than sufficient time
for this activity. For safety's sake,
young children shouldn't be out in
the neighborhoods after sunset.
Therefore, it would behoove Mayor
Bermudez to change the hours of
trick-or-treating from 5 to 7 p.m.
It looks like the repaving project
of Landis Avenue from the
Boulevard to Myrtle Street is finished. But there is more repaving
that needs to be done. Landis
Avenue from Myrtle Street to Main
Road remains in deplorable condition. It is incumbent that the city
consider finishing the resurfacing of
Landis Avenue by applying for a
state or federal grant to cover the
cost of the project.
Good luck to Mayor Ruben
Bermudez, former Mayor Robert
Romano, and Vineland City Council
President Anthony Fanucci on their
quest to become the Mayor of
Vineland for four years. Most likely,
the results of the election on
November 8 will mean there will be
a runoff election for the two top
vote getters. The only way a runoff
election can be avoided is that one
candidate must receive 50 percent
plus one of the votes cast on
November 8. Why do we still have
the need for a second election?
City Council should amend the
statute. The candidate with the
most votes should be the mayor.
How about if common sense prevails for a change?

DYLAN FEST AC
CELEBRATION SET
FOR SATURDAY, OCT. 1
ATLANTIC CITY DANTE HALL
THEATRE OF STOCKTON
UNIVERSITY, 7 P.M.
Dylan Fest AC 2016 will mark Bob
Dylans 75th birthday this year by celebrating several aspects of the prolific
singer-songwriters career, including a
live performance of Dylans groundbreaking folk-rock album, John Wesley
Harding.
Four musical acts will perform at
Dante Hall Theatre of Stockton
University, located at 14 N. Mississippi
Ave., Atlantic City, on Saturday, Oct. 1.
The event, which sold out last year,
begins with a pre-show free wine tasting and art reception at the Noyes Arts
Garage of Stockton University (at
Fairmount and Mississippi avenues)
from 57 p.m., followed by the live
music starting at 7 p.m. inside Dante
Hall Theatre, across the street.
On the bill are Dead Reckonings
Dylan & the Dead Experience, cele-
brating Dylans relationship with the

Grateful Dead; the 5
Believers, performing
Dylans 1968 album,
John Wesley Harding;
Pat Guadagno, and
opening act Dr. Phil &
the Heartattacks, who
will be playing music
of Dylan as well as
Levon Helm and the
Band.
Dylan Fest AC began
in 2015 to pay tribute
to the 50th anniversary
of Bob Dylans first
connecting with Levon
& the Hawks (later to become The
Band) in August 1965, in Somers Point,
N.J., along with the enduring musical
relationship between Dylan and members of The Band. The event is the
brainchild of Jeff Schwachter, a musician and artist (and SNJ Today employee) who performs in the 5 Believers
and with Dead Reckoning in the Dylan
& The Dead Experience.
As with 2015s Dylan Fest AC, the
lobby of Dante Hall will be transformed
into a Dylan Museum with more origi-
nal artwork (some for sale) by regional

artists including Mike Bell, Victor Perez,
and CJ Smith, as well as vintage
posters, photos and other Bob Dylan
and The Band-related memorabilia.
Formica Bros. Bakery is the presenting
sponsor and will be on hand providing
food and beverages at the event.
Pre-sale tickets are $20 and $25 at
the door, and can be purchased by visiting stockton.edu/dante or calling the
Box Office at 609-626-3890. For more

in the 1960s and 70s enrolling students like

women establishing their independence to
become nurses, teachers, female accountants; or veterans returning from the
(Vietnam) war and searching for the right
way to go forward.
Now, we help keep higher education as
a legacy for families. We adapt to demographic changes in race and age as well as
reaching students through ever-expanding
online courses, evolving technology, and
marketing to those without Internet
access, she adds.
Were addressing the brain drain situation where talented young people leave to
establish themselves in other places. she
notes. Were saying Hey, you grew up here,

you can invest here; come here, maybe youll
move back. There are legions of people
who support the college. They tell me, This
place gave me my first professional job.
At the same time, we aim to raise the
college-educated percentage in our area
from the current 20 percent, she says.
As both Adair and Gibbs elaborated on
in their in-depth interviews, SalomonFernandez stresses that the increasingly
larger college has remained small.
There is no history of lecture halls of
hundreds here, no remote professors. We
have small classrooms, personal meetings.
There is an ethos of care in everything we
do, she says.
Adair and Gibbs have been at
Cumberland since the beginnings of the
school, when the campus had more trees
than students. They share a first name, are
It was the early 1970s. Vineland High

School sweethearts Jim and June
(DeRuchie) Rocco, were in their 30s
and married with a home, jobs, and
children. So, they enrolled in college
full-time, too.
I hardly ever slept. said Jim, at that
time a detective with the Vineland Police
Department, who entered Cumberland
County College in 1972, six years after it
opened. I worked, took classes at
Cumberland, and got to as many state
police training courses as I could.
June, who enrolled a year later, said,
It wasnt easy, I had to make a lot of
sacrifices,
The college was closeby, affordable,
and offered a flexible schedule that
working adults could handle. If you had
the ambition and staying power, you
could earn a degree. Many mature students found their life choices greatly
expanded by going to community college
in Vineland.
When Jim started, he was getting
too smart for his britches, June said.
I had to catch up. I tried one part-time
course and was hooked.
I had to stay ahead of her, so I
worked on quoting Faulkner and
Hemingway from Mr. Gibbs world literature class, Jim said.
June did catch up by taking courses
faster. After earning their A.A. degrees
at Cumberland and successfully transferring, they graduated together from
Glassboro State College (now Rowan
University) in May 1976. Junes bachelors degree was in education and she
went on to a 25-year career with
Vineland Public Schools. Jim got his
B.A. in criminal justice and moved up
the ranks of the department, serving 28
years there, then working for the
Cumberland County Prosecutors office
for another 10. Hes in the CCC
Distingushed Alumni Gallery.
They live in retirement in Smithville.
June was a secretary when she
made her leap to full-time student and
resigned the job.
Jim and June Rocco graduated from

Glassboro State College (now Rowan
University) in 1976, after getting A.A.
degrees from Cumberland County College.

I couldnt see myself doing payroll

when the kids were gone, I wanted to
have a better life, she said. I had the
kids and the house and all, this was my
one opportunity. I think it helped that
Jim was already enrolled.
In class, the mix of traditional college
students and older people helped create
some interesting times.
We had the life experience and we
werent quiet about it, June said. You
get everybody else goingit was a lot of
fun for me.
In that era, the couple shared classrooms with young people who opposed
the Vietnam War and the military and
wanted to upset the establishment.
I had a different attitude, so we had
some discussions, Jim said. I mean it
never went to punching someone or
cussing them outjust discussions.
For Jim, his college education led to
expanding opportunities in his field. For
June, she referred to it as her way out.
She said, My parents education
ended at age 13, it limited them so
much. I was the first in my family to
attend college. It was a blessing. M.B.

Betty Lorraine Bishop (nee Souders),
94, of Vineland, NJ passed away on Tuesday
morning September 20, 2016 in the Bishop
McCarthy Residence, Vineland. Mrs. Bishop
was born & raised in Vineland where she
remained a lifelong city resident. She was
the daughter of the late Daisy & John

1924 to Samuel S. and Elva N. Conner of
Waynesboro PA. He graduated from
Swarthmore College in 1949, his studies
were interrupted by a tour of duty in the
post-war Army. He moved to Millville
where he became a partner in PDQ
Products, a manufacturer of flying model
airplane kits. Mr. Conner's time at PDQ is
still remembered for his design of the
award-winning Circus King. In the mid1950s Mr. Conner separated from PDQ and
started Rennoc Games and Toys in Port
Norris. While manufacturing in Port Norris,
Mr. Conner met and, in 1959, married Janet
Berry. Around 1960 the company relocated
to the WWII-era barracks complex at the
Millville Airport. In the early 1960s, on the
advice of one of his sales representatives,
Walt Hendricks, Mr. Conner transitioned
the company to the manufacture of textile
Christmas decorations. In 1972 the company, rechristened Rennoc Corporation, relocated to a new facility in Vineland. The
company grew quickly and became the
world's leading manufacturer of plush
Christmas decorations and a major local
employer.

To Adair, there are two significant
developments that will impact Cumberland
the most in the near future.
First, we have this new high-tech high
school next door (Cumberland County
Technical Education Center), which is
going to be working with the college and is
going to help both, he says. Second, as
everyone is aware, Rowan and some other
universities want to connect with the community colleges.
Gibbs insists he has been employed
longer than Adairby about three weeks. It
seems the office wall they share has been
breached innumerable times by jolly banter.
My first impression was this would do
for a couple years, but I was going to move
on, he says. When he did the colleges
early self-study, his mind changed and he
became an incessant supporter of CCC.
Some people have the idea that community colleges arent like real colleges,
that they are a continuation of high
schoolwell, thats baloney.
Frankly, I have continuously been
impressed with the wonderful blend at
Cumberland County Collegethe variety of
age, experience, attitudes, and beliefs that
you just dont get at conventional colleges,
he adds.
Naturally, he meets former students frequently and of, course, they ask if he recalls
them. He often says your face is familiar,
but 20,000 names are hard to remember.
Gibbs has always been pleased to hear
about students who go on to schools like
Princeton, Penn, and Rutgers and those
who eventually get doctorate degrees.
Which I didnt do, he points out.
No worries. I
Barbara L. Simkins (nee Simms), 81, of

Buena Vista Twp passed away on
Wednesday afternoon September 14, 2016 in
the Inspira Medical Center surrounded by
her family. Barbara was born in Atlantic
City and was a longtime resident of Buena
Vista Twp. She was the daughter of the late
George and Mary (Chievers) Simms , the
wife of the late John E. Simkins who died in
1997 and the sister of the late Dorothy
Broderick. Barbara worked at Scott Paper in
Landisville as a Quality Control manager
until her retirement. She was a member of
Padre Pio Parish. Barbara enjoyed spending
time with her family especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
both full-time English teachers, work in

adjoining offices, and outdo each other in
their passions for teaching and learning.
Each man is healthy, personable, and
sharp-witted. They consistently talk modestly about significant academic and personal achievement. As two of the most
revered instructors in the history of the
school, their combined near-century on
campus instructing generations of students
is a treasure of information and opinion
about CCC.
Gibbs came to CCC from Elmira
College in New York, by way of the assistant editorship at Cole-Collier Books in
New York, several years of high school
teaching, the masters program at the
University of Wyoming, and an undergraduate teaching degree at Trenton State
College (now TCNJ).
He left Elmira for CCC because, All the
students were women ages 18 to 24, upper
middle class with a similar view of the world.
Lets put it this way: It was restrictive.
Since his first class where a 65-year-old
woman and 17-year-old boy sat side-by-side,
he has found CCC, at least, less restrictive.
Gibbs wrote the first self-study of
Cumberland and served for many years on
the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education doing accreditations. He is an
actor (only small parts because of the
memorization) and a theater maven.
Adair earned his B.A. at Calvin College
in Michigan with a triple major in German,
math, and psychology. His masters in
English and course work for a doctorate
were at the University of Delaware. He
reads a hundred books a year and owns
thousands. He composes poetry (in longhand) and once, while there for seminars,
achieved the honor of reading his work at
High Table at Brasenose College of Oxford
University.
His summer sabbaticals spanned 32
years and also took him to Cambridge,
Edinburgh University in Scotland and
Trinity College in Ireland.
Adair gave his high school salutatory
address in 1956 on racial equality. He was
introduced to Richard Nixon after winning a coveted national scholarship in his
senior year. In his work with the Modern
Language Association, he met and talked
with Margaret Atwood, Toni Morrison,
and Ralph Ellison.
Adairs assessment of changes at the college may surprise some, but shows the core
of Cumberland as fundamentally
unchanged by its progress.
Of course, weve grown from a very small
place to this gorgeous, many-building campus with thousands of students, he begins.
But weve always had excellent students
and a (continuing) program that deals with
a spectrum of them, he says. The spectrum doesnt change. To see these students
emerge in terms of being thinking people
has always been wonderful.
Through the years, they tell me thank
you, Mr. Adair, or send me a note saying
Im going to a star university nowmajor-
