<strong>Browne</strong>–27<br />
COHEN: So you came in about 1970?<br />
BROWNE: No. I started in ’68.<br />
COHEN: ’68, OK.<br />
BROWNE: I was part-time.<br />
COHEN: OK.<br />
BROWNE: Yes, I’m sure it was ’68.<br />
COHEN: OK.<br />
BROWNE: But I came to work full time in ’70, but I’d already been working many, many years.<br />
COHEN: Already doing programs, yes.<br />
BROWNE: Yes. So anything I’d think of doing I’d try to do. I had a lecture series for kids.<br />
There’d be hundreds of kids there. I’d have maybe 500 kids in the summer. There were twelve<br />
classes you could take in the summer: three biology classes, three chemistry classes, three<br />
physics classes, and three math classes.<br />
COHEN: Now, were you getting minority students in these things?<br />
BROWNE: Yes. There were maybe thirty or so kids—well, more than that; there would be<br />
maybe forty kids—on campus in those various and sundry classes. But it was hard to get kids<br />
who wanted to do that amount of work in the summers.<br />
COHEN: Yes.<br />
