On June 4, at the time of the class reunions, the Echols Scholars Program and the Alumni Association co-sponsored a dinner for the Echols alumni of 1964, the first graduating class of Echols Scholars. The Echols Scholars Program alumni attending were Stephen McNamara, Barry Jacobs, Lewis Carlisle, Robert Brady, Tom Kriete, David Stoughton, Alan Cole, William Marmon, and Robert Williams. John Via sent his greetings. We were pleased to have join us Professor Emeritus William Duren who was Dean of the College from 1955-1960 and who created the Echols Scholars Program.

Ben Palmer '65, remembers rooming in the original Echols House with John Dienelt and that in his day, "mathematics was incredibly brutal in grading."
