Correcting the Start of Goheen’s Presidency

One small factual correction to the main article: Robert Goheen assumed the presidency in 1957, not 1958. I remember him very well hosting the welcoming garden party at Prospect when my class matriculated in the fall of 1957. But I agree that a major achievement of his presidency was his calm navigation of the political crises of the late ’60s.

Editor’s note: Goheen’s presidency began in July 1957 and his formal installation was held in September of that year. The story has been updated.
