Whitman in Freshman Class Recalled By Professor
Bill Kimmee reports Dr. Billie Jo Inman recalls Charles Whitman as a freshman in 1962 at the University of Texas. Whitman struggled with English composition, needed a C to stay in school, and was aided by extra conferences. Inman notes Whitman showed military bearing and neat appearance but suffered from insufficient idea development and a sense of insufficiency. The article links these observations to Whitman’s later rampage in 1966.
