Auburn experienced little of the student unrest that rocked other campuses during the late 1960s and early '70s. Protests were few and far between at Auburn during that era. One factor was the approach adopted by President Harry M. Philpott, who regularly left his office for impromptu, wide-ranging discussions with students. Philpott, who retired in 1980 after 15 years as president, still lives in the area. |
