Re: Dartmouth Visited" 1956
A lot of really sharp looks in there. Chinos are wider than I'd wear, but then I'm usually more interested in 1964-1966?

It would be a good gig for me! I have looked at working in academia strictly for the perks of dressing how I want and that it is not only accepted, but also celebrated.

Being a college lecturer once had prestige, despite the pay, because there was enough cheap booze, feigned intellectualism and affairs with undergraduates to go around. I can actually remember that, indeed the day my mum and dad returned from a sixth-form parents evening beaming with pride as my English teacher had told them that he could see me being a college lecturer or a personnel manager in a large corporation.

I note the apparel of the Dartmouth undergrads was quite similar to what we typically wore at UCLA a few years later, allowing for differences in climate.

"9:12 great old Greek history professor tells a classic story from Strabo while wearing an old three-button sack with a patch pocket at the breast and natural shoulders and a wide, short '40s lapel shape "
Strabo is a bit obscure. This part should read:
