Berkeley’s High Street Herald, March ’66
I’m a Class of 1968 Yale College graduate. Prior to attending our 50th reunion this past year, I re-looked at some Berkeley College sporadic newspapers that I had edited when an undergrad.
I noted that the March 11, 1966 edition of the High Street Herald contained an editorial about Will Rhodes, a Class of 1969 freshman who had died of cancer. I thought that you — especially those in Berkeley College — would enjoy this retrospective look at the High Street Herald’s March ’66 edition.

The remembrance of Will Rhodes evokes so many memories. I shared a suite in Welch Hall with Will, the sadly-departed Brad Nitkin and Dave Coit. At the time, I was stunned by the difficulties that Will endured, and couldn’t fathom how to react, much less in a helpful manner. In retrospect, I see his cheerful attitude, determination, strength and endurance. Not all lessons learned at Yale were delivered in the classroom.
