Then & Now: Haverfest

This vintage 1967 pic was snapped on a warm, early spring day only months before the celebrated Summer of Love.

Alumni wrote in to help us put names on the figures in the picture, including that of philosophy professor Aryeh Kosman on the guitar. Read their recollections in the Fall 2011 issue of HAVERFORD magazine in the letters to the editor section.

When a band called The Original Mavericks took the stage at Haverfest 2011, they continued a long tradition of performing on the steps of Founders, one that goes back at least as far as the 1960s.

Missed yesterday’s photo? See Haverfest back “Then“.

The central location; the vast, gently sloping open space; the potential audience in the library, eager for a break—who can blame our musicians for wanting to tune up, plug in and rock out?
