Its "nice" that Q Todd rewrote the bylaws of
the tiny Sigma Alfa Epsilon Fraternity, I had no idea MY complete rewrite of the
Student Government bylaws (see at left) and its Student Body wide referendum (which resulted in his second defeat in 1973) had such
an exemplary impact. In fact I had entirely forgotten about it.
At our 25th
anniversary at Allegheny, as I shook his hand on the steps of Bentley Hall to
congratulate him on his appointment by President Clinton, I said "See how much
good it did ya to have me kick your ass twice. eh? eh? eh?" smile
smile "See...things always work out for the best in life".
To see those comments, parroted here was stunning.
After 30 years of looking in the mirror, perhaps I can be forgiven for wondering if at its root,
it wasn't just a matter of a gay Dickinson's resentments at the college community he hid from while attempting to lead it and the added jealousy created by what won't reach where :(
I guess all those whispered jokes at Allegheny must have been true after all.
