Turning Thirty: Pictures
A picture is, as the
saying goes, worth
a thousand words.
So here are 15,000
words' worth of
images from past
issues. The reasons
we chose them
vary. Some are
timeless in their
graphic impact.
Some are amusingly
dated. And some
tell a fascinating
story (together with
a few actual words).
Included here are a selection of
photographs—nearly all of them ones
taken especially for this magazine—that have appeared in our pages in
the course of 30 years. The captions
indicate the issue in which the picture
was first published and the reason
it was chosen for this retrospective.
Fall 1976: The row of ashtrays down the center of the conference table at this
meeting of the DMS Overseers makes it clear how accepted smoking used to be.

Winter 1991: Piles of pillows and
clocks were among the countless items
transferred from Hanover when the
new Lebanon DHMC campus opened.

Fall 1990: Every graduate feels on
top of the world on Class Day, but this
angle made Jeff Scricca and Kelly
McAleese appear especially colossal.

Fall 2003 (above): If painter James Whistler
had produced this arresting image of
volunteer pianist Bill Emerson tickling
the ivories at DHMC, would it be
titled A Study in Black and White?
Winter 1995 (left): Four years after the move to Lebanon, the old hospital in Hanover
bit the dust. A parking lot and an undergraduate dormitory now occupy the site.
