Volume 2, Number 2 (2005) Fall 2005

Oregon offers the perfect environment for open-air classrooms from the coast to the Cascades to the high desert. In this issue, we feature one class that takes students on a five-day exploration of the Oregon Coast. We also profile outstanding faculty – two received awards for outstanding teaching, research and service to Linfield, one hopes to secure funding for a hospice program in the Oregon prison system, another spent a 43-day pilgrimage in Spain to gain a better understanding of that country's history, culture and literature and thus enrich his classes. We also take a look back to the 1975 Operation Babylift and the impact of that event on four lives. Then there’s that “other” streak – three faculty members who have served as “voice of the Wildcats” since 1956. We look forward to sharing more stories about the people of Linfield.
