Another Sobering Moment in 1968

With respect to “More than a Moment” in the fascinating “By Alumni, For Alumni” historical perspective (April issue): On June 8 of 1968, while Robert Kennedy’s funeral train was passing through Princeton Junction on its way to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington and alumni were getting wasted in their class tents, my wife of the time and I encountered Dean Ernest Gordon on campus bemusedly observing the festivities and suggested that the more appropriate response would be a remembrance service in the Chapel. He agreed, and it was held, a very uplifting moment in a time of chaos, an act similar to the class suspension after MLK’s assassination, described in the PAW account. We are now living through desperate times for our country and the world. Will we party on?
