~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.

Tension and Unnaturalness in Philosophy Seminar - Monday, April 12, 1965

It was somewhat colder again today. I wish spring would make up its mind. I went to the library tonight to get some books for my philosophy term paper. I hope this venture doesn't turn into too large a task. We all wrote on Dr. Pai's philosophy question although we had to "find it" ourselves in Mr. Carey's office. It seemed as if there was tension and unnaturalness among us in seminar. I do feel sorry for Mr. Carey whom I think feels just as bad as the rest of us.
