More LIFE Photos: Roth's Dapper Predecessor
Also in the LIFE photo archive: photos of Wesleyan students and professors volunteering at the Connecticut Valley Hospital for the mentally ill in 1965:
And a series of 1968 photos of Wesleyan's then-president, the dapper alumnus Edwin D. Etherington, at home with his family:
Etherington was the president of the American Stock Exchange before taking over at Wesleyan, and was a staunch civil rights advocate who got Wes to admit women and increase minority student enrollment. Plus he's got a serious Don Draper thing going on:
Sorry, Roth's got nothing on this guy.

Etherington was brought to wesleyan (from the American Stock Exchange) to continue the economic prosperity that was seen during Butterfield's presidency. He did a very good job of fucking everything up. Respect though for the civil rights stuff...
he kinda reminds me of bogart (the actor)
as opposed to bogart the sous chef
well, if by fucking things up, 1:12pm, you mean admitting women (eventually, in numbers equal to men), I guess I'm glad he fucked things up.
I LOL at the Don Draper vid. I even see a little bit of "Madmen" in those old photos.
This lesbian is still voting for Roth as Zenith's best-looking prez.
Funny if genders were reversed how sexist that comment would sound
Funny how if we were ducks, there wouldn't even BE classes.
I'd tap that...
Quack quack
love you 12:23
