Duke Freshmen Cars and Class Schedules in 1948
A memoir fragment recounts Duke University freshmen in 1948 with shifts between West and East Campus dorms and classes. The author and Bob Hudson enjoy antique cars, ride the Trailways bus 85 miles to Winston-Salem, and note restrictions on student car use. They describe campus life, friendships, and early car projects including a 1930 Durant and a 1927 Franklin Seden later traded for Duke engineering work. The piece ties to Baytown Sun columns from 2013 and 2014 and to prior reports about a Whizzer motor bicycle and intercampus commuting challenges.
