Ole Voices No. 2: Etiquette 101

Ole Voices No. 2: Etiquette 101 was compiled over the past few years, with the assistance of student workers, primarily Christopher Blum (class of 2007), who transcribed the sometimes indecipherable notes of Prof. H.T. Ytterboe. Some liberties were taken in correcting spelling and grammar. Within these collected notes and other documents in the college archives emerged a better understanding of Professor Ytterboe. Additionally, 40-plus items were culled from various student diaries, letters, and recollections, illustrating student transgressions against the etiquette and conduct rules.
