More Goheen tales
In response to: Robert Francis Goheen '40 *48 Memories of a leader who mastered the art of listening
By Bernard S. Adams ’50
Published in the July 16, 2008 issue
In the fall of 1952, I joined the Princeton admission staff under Bill Edwards ’36. Joe Bolster ’52 and I were the only staffers. A few years later, Bob Goheen invited me to spend a couple of hours daily helping him with the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Program — from 4 until 6...
