Robert Watson (1925- ) was a professor in the Department of English from 1953-1987 at the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, becoming The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). Watson recalls the caliber and continuity of writers in the English department at Woman's College over decades. He discusses the conflict over general education during Chancellor Edward Kidder Graham, Jr.'s tenure, characteristics of Mereb Mossman and Katherine Taylor and the transition to a commuter university, coeducation, integration, and increased graduate programs. He describes the students and campus during the fifties and sixties, dedication to teaching of the older female faculty members and the eventual decline of the arts festival.
