Wilson spent more than 35 years working for the United States military, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant general. Over the course of his career, General Wilson worked for the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency and played a prominent role in formulating the army's counter-insurgency (COIN) doctrine.  ","Wilson was born September 23, 1923 in Rice, Virginia. He was the son of Jasper Dennis \"Cap'n Jack\" Wilson (1879-1959) and Helen Wilson (1893-1955). Sam's family had deep roots in rural Virginia and the Prince Edward County area. After graduating from high school in 1940, and inspired by a speech by Winston Churchill, Sam enlisted in the Virginia National Guard, though he lied about his age in order to enter the service (originally as a bugler). He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a second lieutenant by the age of 18.","During World War II, Sam volunteered for the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), better known as \"Merrill's Marauders.\" The Marauders gained fame in what was then Burma. The 3,000 man force fought Japanese troops behind the lines with the help of English, Indian, and Burmese forces. The Marauders suffered more than 95% casualties. Sam was among those who were wounded, killed, or who fell ill in the tropical and mountainous conditions. He served only a few months in the Marauders, but his experiences were formative. He won the respect of his men for his scouting missions, which often found him miles ahead of Japanese forces. For his conduct, Sam was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, but he had to wait years to get it. Later, Sam served as a historical advisor to the 1962 Sam Fuller film Merrill's Marauders and had a speaking role in the movie.","After the war, Sam joined the ranks of U.S. intelligence, tasked with containing communism and maintaining the balance of power in Europe. Sam was a student at Columbia University, where, as an officer in OSS (Office of Strategic Services), he studied Russia and Russian history. He became fluent in Russian and German and later spoke other languages as well. Despite his intelligence and accomplishments, Sam never obtained a college degree, though later in life he received various honorary degrees.","In the 1950s, now a major, Wilson worked in Germany as a spy, a job that not only put his life in danger, but placed extraordinary pressure on his family, who traveled with him. Nevertheless, by the 1950s, Sam's career had established a pattern: he would travel across the globe, while also working for long stretches in the United States. Over the course of his career, he served at various military posts, including Fort Bragg, Fort Leavenworth, and Fort Benning.","In the early 1960s, Colonel Wilson worked with Ed Lansdale in Washington, D.C., to formulate the United States' counterinsurgeny doctrine. In Vietnam, Sam would help implement this doctrine. Sam believed the war against communism could not be won in Vietnam without the support of the local population. Winning the \"hearts and minds\" of civilians, therefore, was essential to victory. Eventually, Sam was put in charge of pacification efforts in Long An province in 1967. He served in that capacity for several months before returning to the States in late 1967 to teach Special Forces at Fort Bragg. Decades later, Sam served as a commentator for Ken Burns's critically acclaimed documentary on the Vietnam War.","Sam continued to rise in the ranks, earning promotion to major general and then lieutenant general before retiring in 1977. He spent extended periods of time in the 1970s in the Soviet Union as an intelligence officer. He also developed close relationships with men in government such as George H. W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. Sam's last post was as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. His decision to retire was not just for his benefit, but done out of concern for the health of his wife, Brenda.","After retiring from the military, at the behest of his friend Earl \"Frosty\" Lockwood, Sam worked as a consultant for the small, D.C. area intelligence firm Betac. Despite pressure from some admirers, Sam mostly kept out of politics and avoided calls for running for office. He spent most of his time on his farm and taught college courses on politics and government at Longwood University and HSC. A man of faith, he also taught Sunday School in the Farmville area. A warm and outgoing man who liked to tell stories, Sam was an accomplished musician, who liked to play piano and guitar for the many visitors to the farm.  ","In 1992, Sam was chosen to be president of Hampden-Sydney College and served in the position until 2000. As president, one of Sam's first accomplishments was refurbishing campus buildings that had fallen into disrepair. He also was responsible for significantly growing the HSC endowment. In 1996, HSC gained national attention for its decision, after a long and highly publicized debate, the college chose to remain an all-male college. Sam was also responsible for bringing many celebrities to campus for major events. In 1993, HSC held a symposium on the Vietnam War attended by General William Westmoreland, film director Oliver Stone, and journalist Morley Safer, among others. Other celebrities that visited during Sam's tenure included actor James Earl Jones, authors Doris Goodwin and Tom Clancy, and controversial former military officer and aspiring politician Oliver North.","After retiring from the presidency, Sam continued to teach and remain active in the Farmville area. He worked with HSC undergraduate Drew Prehmus to complete the biography \"General Sam.\" Sam died on June 10, 2017 of lung cancer at the age of 93. ","Sam was married twice, the first time to Frances Brenda Downing (1926-1987), whom Sam met while stationed at Fort Benning shortly after the war. They had four children: Sam Jr. (1946-), Susi (1949- ), Jackson (1952-), and David (1957-). After the death of Brenda in 1987, Sam remarried to Susi Wilson (born Virginia Howton), who was herself a native of the South and an officer in the U.S. military.","This record contains a folder forwarded from General Sam Wilson's son, Jack, who was a frequent editor and collaborator with his father.

Nevertheless, by the 1950s, Sam's career had established a pattern: he would travel across the globe, while also working for long stretches in the United States. Over the course of his career, he served at various military posts, including Fort Bragg, Fort Leavenworth, and Fort Benning.","In the early 1960s, Colonel Wilson worked with Ed Lansdale in Washington, D.C., to formulate the United States' counterinsurgeny doctrine. In Vietnam, Sam would help implement this doctrine. Sam believed the war against communism could not be won in Vietnam without the support of the local population. Winning the \"hearts and minds\" of civilians, therefore, was essential to victory. Eventually, Sam was put in charge of pacification efforts in Long An province in 1967. He served in that capacity for several months before returning to the States in late 1967 to teach Special Forces at Fort Bragg. Decades later, Sam served as a commentator for Ken Burns's critically acclaimed documentary on the Vietnam War.","Sam continued to rise in the ranks, earning promotion to major general and then lieutenant general before retiring in 1977. He spent extended periods of time in the 1970s in the Soviet Union as an intelligence officer. He also developed close relationships with men in government such as George H. W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. Sam's last post was as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. His decision to retire was not just for his benefit, but done out of concern for the health of his wife, Brenda.","After retiring from the military, at the behest of his friend Earl \"Frosty\" Lockwood, Sam worked as a consultant for the small, D.C. area intelligence firm Betac. Despite pressure from some admirers, Sam mostly kept out of politics and avoided calls for running for office. He spent most of his time on his farm and taught college courses on politics and government at Longwood University and HSC. A man of faith, he also taught Sunday School in the Farmville area. A warm and outgoing man who liked to tell stories, Sam was an accomplished musician, who liked to play piano and guitar for the many visitors to the farm.  ","In 1992, Sam was chosen to be president of Hampden-Sydney College and served in the position until 2000. As president, one of Sam's first accomplishments was refurbishing campus buildings that had fallen into disrepair. He also was responsible for significantly growing the HSC endowment. In 1996, HSC gained national attention for its decision, after a long and highly publicized debate, the college chose to remain an all-male college. Sam was also responsible for bringing many celebrities to campus for major events. In 1993, HSC held a symposium on the Vietnam War attended by General William Westmoreland, film director Oliver Stone, and journalist Morley Safer, among others. Other celebrities that visited during Sam's tenure included actor James Earl Jones, authors Doris Goodwin and Tom Clancy, and controversial former military officer and aspiring politician Oliver North.","After retiring from the presidency, Sam continued to teach and remain active in the Farmville area. He worked with HSC undergraduate Drew Prehmus to complete the biography \"General Sam.\" Sam died on June 10, 2017 of lung cancer at the age of 93. ","Sam was married twice, the first time to Frances Brenda Downing (1926-1987), whom Sam met while stationed at Fort Benning shortly after the war. They had four children: Sam Jr. (1946-), Susi (1949- ), Jackson (1952-), and David (1957-). After the death of Brenda in 1987, Sam remarried to Susi Wilson (born Virginia Howton), who was herself a native of the South and an officer in the U.S. military."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis record contains a folder forwarded from General Sam Wilson's son, Jack, who was a frequent editor and collaborator with his father.

He continued to live on campus until his death in 1953, where he was frequently contacted to search the school's 'records of attendance, graduation, and the conferring of degrees' in order to locate alumni and provided genealogical information."],"originalsloc_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBound typescript may be found in the \u003ca href=\"https://hsc.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/default/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:64155/email?d=ent%3A%2F%2FSD_ILS%2F0%2FSD_ILS%3A64155%7EILS%7E0\u0026amp;h=7\"\u003elibrary catalog\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e"],"originalsloc_heading_ssm":["Existence and Location of Originals"],"originalsloc_tesim":["Bound typescript may be found in the  library catalog ."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item], Joseph Dupuy Eggleston II Papers, CA 000102, Hampden-Sydney College Archives and Special Collections, Hampden-Sydney, VA\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Identification of item], Joseph Dupuy Eggleston II Papers, CA 000102, Hampden-Sydney College Archives and Special Collections, Hampden-Sydney, VA"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eProcessed by: Sarah Almond, 2020 April; machine-readable finding aid created from previous inventories by: Sarah Almond, 2020 May.\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["Processed by: Sarah Almond, 2020 April; machine-readable finding aid created from previous inventories by: Sarah Almond, 2020 May."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\u003cextref href=\"http://archivespace.hsc.edu:8081/repositories/2/resources/12\"\u003eJosiah Bunting, III Papers (CA 000103)\u003c/extref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"relatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Related Materials"],"relatedmaterial_tesim":["Josiah Bunting, III Papers (CA 000103)"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Joseph D.

I am\nfrom Springfield Virginia, and I came to Hampden-Sydney to play football. I chose Hampden-\nSydney over other institutions due to the brotherhood, community, and opportunities that would\nbe available to me, which I felt from the moment I first set foot on campus. After playing my\nfreshman season, I left the football team because I felt the time commitment it came with limited\nme from pursuing everything that Hampden-Sydney offered. After leaving the football team, I\njoined the Honor court as an investigator, took a leadership role in the pre-law society, got\nadmitted into the honors program, joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and still scratched\nmy athletic itch by playing for the rugby club. Since then, I have become captain and president\nof the rugby club, become president of the Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fraternity, explored my\nartistic and musical interests through painting and playing drums and saxophone for our music\nensemble as well as my social band, and spent my summers studying abroad at Oxford, and\nplaying semi-professional rugby while training with the Crusaders International Academy in\nChristchurch, NZ. My time at Hampden-Sydney has played an instrumental role in molding my\ncharacter into who I am today, and I am very excited to contribute to a lasting project for our\n250th anniversary.","I'm a proud graduate of Hampden-Sydney College, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in\nMathematical Economics within the Honors program, complemented by studies in Applied\nMathematics. During my time there, I was deeply involved in campus leadership across multiple\ndomains. I served as a Head Resident Advisor and Freshman Resident Advisor, was active in\nPresident's Men as an ambassador to alumni and prospective students, and participated in the\nPhi Beta Lambda Business Society. I also served as a student representative on the Academic\nAffairs and Safety committees, worked as a student court investigator, and engaged with the\nSociety of seventeen ninety-one leadership program, Men's Chorus, and the Freshman\nLeadership Program at the Wilson Center, among other continuous engagements. This\nfoundation has proved invaluable as I navigate my career.\nAfter graduation, I earned a Master's degree in Business Analytics from the Raymond A. Mason\nSchool of Business at the College of William and Mary, which launched me into data science\nand leadership. My career has since expanded across pharmaceuticals, insurance, and finance,\nwhere I specialized in advanced and predictive analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence,\nand leadership of technical teams. I'm currently completing my MBA at The College William and\nMary, and am expected to graduate in 2027 as I transition into more senior leadership roles.\nBeyond my corporate work, I'm an entrepreneur who owns four businesses. Interweaved in my\npost-graduation career, I have proudly served as the president of the Virginia Peninsula Alumni\nClub for five years, and as a member of the Young Alumni Council for three years. Motivated by\ngiving back to my Alma Mater, I often mentor graduating students in taking the next step in their\ncareers and lives - having mentored more than two dozen young men graduating from the\ncollege in the last five years. Hampden Sydney is the backbone of my career, network, and\nsuccesses.","I was born in Arlington, VA and have spent most of my life in Richmond. I'm a current senior at Hampden-Sydney majoring in History, and I've spent my time at H-SC participating in athletics, clubs, and greek life. I made the decision to come to Hampden-Sydney because I was drawn to the brotherhood, valued a strong education, and wanted to join my two step brothers in college. I was a 2-year member of the Football team and I am a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Some of my best memories here include football game days, eating lunch with my friends in the dining hall, and enjoying nights on the circle.","I am a Hampden-Sydney College alumnus from the class of 1984.  I am a life-long resident of Jacksonville, Florida with the only interruption being Hampden-Sydney and law school.  On the personal side I have been married to Heather Moseley since 1999.  I am a proud father of a daughter (Kate), and two sons (Olin and Andrew).  My oldest son graduated from Elon University then went to Ireland to attend law school at Trinity College in Dublin where he now lives.  My youngest son, Andrew, is a proud alumnus of Hampden-Sydney College ('24) and is currently obtaining his joint degrees of master's in government policy and a law degree from Jacksonville university.  I am a proud alumnus of our college and have participated on the Alumni Board and The Hampden-Sydney Bar Association.  Whenever I step foot on campus, I feel like I am back \"home\" no matter how many years transpire.","I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Fletcher Christian Parsons '26,  and I am currently majoring in Economics with a minor in German Studies.  I come from a small town on the eastern shore of Maryland called Easton, roughly an hour and a half from Washington, D.C.  I also spend a lot of my life in the Florida Keys, visiting family down there. While at home, in Florida, and at school, I enjoy fly fishing (especially in the Keys), golf, and cooking.  Growing up in a small town, I was surrounded by a few Hampden-Sydney alumni, who ultimately made me comfortable attending an all-men's college. I chose HSC because some friends came with me, and it seemed to have a nice mix of social and academic life, which I believe I have taken advantage of. My freshman year, I lived in Cushing and have lived in the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house for the past 3 years. Other than Phi Gam, I have been involved in Ducks Unlimited, the Fly-fishing club, the German club, the Center for the Study of the Political Economy, and the Hobbie Scholar program.","I am happy to meet you; it is my pleasure to be part of this wonderful project as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our cherished institution, Hampden-Sydney College. Thomas Bailey, in his The Amercian Pagent textbook, lists the nice Colonial colleges.  I would strongly argue that since the Colonies were not fighting for Independence until July 4, 1776 there are ten Colonial colleges, with Hampden-Sydney being the tenth. I live in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, a town about 30 minutes east of Manhattan.  I applied to both Hampden-Sydney and Randolph-Macon Colleges and was accepted to both and chose Hampden-Sydney.  Fifty-plus years since my graduation in 1975 I have absolutely no regrets over my choice of Hampden-Sydney and would choose it again in a heartbeat. Some highlights of my undergraduate days include living on Campus, traveling to/from Hampden-Sydney, always saying hello to everyone you met on Campus and the glorious eagle by the flag pole at Death Valley.  All freshman were required to live in a dorm and were assigned to either Venable or Graham Hall.  I was assigned to Venable Hall, room W-11.  The only showers were in the basement, where there was one large shower room.  Winston Hall held the dining commons while the bookstore was on the lower floor.  Traveling from New Jersey to Hampden-Sydney involved taking a Florida-bound Amtrak train from New Jersey to Richmond Broad Street Station, transferring to the Greyhound station and taking a Greyhound bus to Farmville.  There was a two-hour layover between train and bus and the bus, taking the most circuitous route, took two hours to get to Farmville.  Once in Farmville, I needed to walk to the Longwood College two high rise dorms where I would hitch a ride to Hampden-Sydney.   Since Freshmen were not permitted to have cars, we needed to hitch a ride to/from Farmville. Going to Farmville, one would stand by College Church and get picked up; on the return, one waited my the Longwood high rises.. We were told at orientation that you say hello to everyone you meet on Campus.  That is how I met Lt. Col. Gus Franke and because of that encounter went on to major in Mathematics.  I'll be happy to provide many more details about my association with Col. Franke and his lasting positive influence on my life in our later conversations. The third highlight is the magnificent eagle on the football field by the flagpole   When I was back at H-SC this past Spring and Fall I was surprised few know of its historic past.  Our eagle was one of 22 that originally sat on top of the Pennsylvania Station in New York City before it was destroyed in the mid-1960's.   More on this in our conversations as well. I completed my degree requirements in December, 1974 so I could attend Longwood College in the Spring of 1975 as a male day student to complete my Professional Semester in Education.  This included 10 weeks of student teaching at Breckinridge Junior High School in Roanoke, Virginia.  Hampden Sydney would not give us credit for this professional semester and the idea of taking more than four years to earn a bachelors degree,, in 1974, was unthinkable.    I returned home to New Jersey; earned a Masters Degree in History, with a concentration in Colonial and Revolutionary History; taught in a Catholic High School for five years; earned a Maters Degree in Mathematics; taught one year in a K-8 elementary school; then 31 years in a two-year college.  After retiring in December 2017, I was bored and missed teaching so I returned to teaching in the spring of 2020, first at a local community colllege and then at Rutgers University where I am still teaching today. Along the way I was a National Park Ranger at Morristown National Historical Park and served as a docent on Amtrak trains as part the the National Park Service's Trails and Rails program.  From 2004 to 2024 I was a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician for my town and a neighboring town.  Well, this was supposed to be brief, but I hope you find it intersting.   Allow me to close with my favorite quote, from  Christa McAuliffe, the teacher who perished in the Challenger explosion in January, 1986 as it pretty much sums up what I love to do:   \"I touch the future, I teach.\"","Majors: Biology, Psychology Minors: Chemistry, Neuroscience School Affiliations: H-SC Journal of the Sciences, The Tiger Newspaper, Society for Neuroscience, Alpha Chi Sigma, Society for Collegiate Journalism, Eta Sigma Phi, Sigma Xi, Psi Chi, Omicron Delta Kappa Research Experience: I have spent my time at H-SC studying a variety of biological topics ranging from cancer genetics to neurobiology. Among my more interesting experiences was presented at the annual Society for Neuroscience in 2023. In the Summer of 2025 I also worked at the University of Kentucky for two months as a visiting undergraduate in the Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center. My proudest achievement over my four years at the college is quite likely the 2025 Journal of the Sciences of which I was the Editor-in-chief. I work diligently to attain that same quality as editor-in-chief of the 2026 edition as well.","Dr. Patrick Martin is a roboticist who develops the algorithms, architectures and systems that support human-robot collaboration in the performing arts.

I spent my time in high school playing football and basketball, fishing, and working at the community center.  I committed to Hampden-Sydney because of the brotherhood.  On my visit, they made me feel as if I were already a student there.  I am on track to graduate in May, and I have spent the last four years away from the football team while majoring in Business and Economics.","I was raised in Arlington, Virginia and graduated from Yorktown High School in 2015 with a strong determination to get away from the busy DC area. Most of my free time in high school was spent running a landscaping business that I passed down to my younger brother upon attending Hampden-Sydney College. I chose Hampden-Sydney College for the beautifully rural campus as well as the strong brotherhood that I heard a lot about. I majored in Business and Economics with a minor in Visual Arts. I enjoyed the opportunity to study abroad in Ireland with Dr. Dempster and Dr. Isaacs. The Hampden-Sydney Volunteer Fire Department is where most of my studying occurred and where I spent most of my free time. Throughout my four years on the Hill I held many jobs including: resident advisor, dark room photography lab assistant, photographer for communications, 9-1-1 dispatcher, EMT, real estate photographer/videographer, and hay farmer/distributor. Although I thoroughly enjoyed studying business and economics, I found that my passion had shifted to public service and I was hired by Chesterfield County Fire \u0026 EMS after graduation in 2019. I worked for Chesterfield as a firefighter/paramedic and lived in the Richmond area for the first year after graduation before my love for the Hampden-Sydney community brought me back. I moved to a house on Five Forks Road next to campus so that I could continue to engaging in campus events. After moving back I was hired by Prince Edward County for a position as the Program Administrator for FEMA Public Assistance. My passion to help others was eventually transformed by LTC Rucker Snead into something I never thought I would be capable of—a Marine Corps pilot. After training for over three years with the United States Marine Corps I officially earned the designation of Naval Aviator this past December. My training in took me to Quantico VA, Pensacola FL, Corpus Christi TX, Milton FL, and as of last week Jacksonville NC. Upon completing training under my current command I will report to San Diego, California to fly the MV-22 Osprey.","My name is Joseph Gonzalez, more known on campus as \"Jojo\". I am a native of Texas but from Virginia before coming to Hampden-Sydney in 2022. Growing up in San Antonio and then moving to the Fredericksburg area was a real life shock. I have played sports all my life, but this past semester my football career as a player finished after 14 years. I always had big dreams as a kid to make it to the big leagues but sadly the genetics were not all the way there. I am proud to leave a mark here on the program overall as I did make First-Team All ODAC. Now as my schooling comes to an end, I have been thinking of taking paths through construction, the military, or something in the lines of Business and Economics which is my major.","Dr. Warner Winborne is a native of Virginia, growing up on a small farm in eastern Hanover county, east of Richmond.  I entered Hampden-Sydney in 1984, and graduated with the class of 1988.  I had thought that I wanted to go to law school, and so I took a job as a researcher for a high-powered Washington D.C. law firm.  After two years of that I decided the practice of law (at least at that lofty level) was not for me.  So I went to Northern Illinois University, where I earned my PhD in Political Science.  After some teaching jobs at a few other colleges and universities, I was fortunate to return to Hampden-Sydney, joining the faculty in 1999.  I taught in the Department of Government and Foreign Affairs for twenty-four years, retiring in 2023.  I now enjoy retirement with my wife Patti in the very southeastern corner of Puerto Rico.","Born and raised in Radford Va, however Hampden-Sydney has always been a \"home away from home.\" My father was an H-SC grad (1987), my uncle was an H-SC grad (1988). Both of them were brief members of the golf team and football team and were members of KA fraternity. My grandfather was an HSC man, who would've graduated here (1952) if not for being a pilot in the Vietnam war for two years and completing his undergrad after at Centre College (which I bet a Kentucky native like yourself is quite familiar with). My grandfather was a member of  Sigma Chi (ΣΧ) at both of these schools. I also have several distant relatives who also attended this great brotherhood we have collectively joined.  However, for all of these legacies towards this campus, I do not believe that it was the reason for my acceptance to the college in 2022. The campus was an atmosphere I truly loved— a small, tight nit community where studies were challenging, but helped me stay disciplined. I was also offered a spot on both the golf team and the soccer team here, however I chose golf as my sport to continue on campus (less running). I am a current English major, with a minor in both Rhetoric, aswell as law and public policy. Like my grandfather, I am also a brother of the ΣΧ fraternity… however I have plenty of friends in SAE and also received a bid there.  It is unbelievable to me that this is my last semester, aswell as the 250th graduating class of H-SC! What a cool atmosphere it has been on campus, filled with celebrations and history all year round.   I think this project you, myself, and my fellow peers with their assigned alumni, have quite a cool agenda ahead us. Looking forward to seeing you face to face, virtually that is.","I arrived at Hampden-Sydney from Lexington in the fall of 1971, having been on campus only once before briefly.  I spent my first two years pretty much studying continuously; I didn't have high confidence in my ability to do the work so may have overcompensated.  I spent so much time in the library that they offered me a job.  Two good friends made during those initial years remain close contacts today.  We should see more of one another than we do.  I pledged a fraternity, SAE, and double majored in history and govt/foreign affairs.  Dr David Holly was one of my foreign affairs professors and my advisor.  All in all, I loved my four years at Hampden-Sydney.  It was a good fit. Following graduation in 1975, I returned to Kentucky still not knowing what I wanted to do.  I started working on the family farm and I'm still here, feeding cows.  As a complement to the farming I've been involved in many community endeavors over the years, specifically planning and zoning issues that affect our rural lifestyle and landscape.  I  served a term as president of the Fayette County Farm Bureau, which provided a useful platform for pursuit of these priorities.  I was on the founding board of the Fayette Alliance, an advocacy group for farming and rural land preservation efforts that simultaneously promotes smart growth for the urban core.","Cole Carman grew up in Richmond Virginia and attended Benedictine College Prep for high school. He is a 22 year old college student with a major in economics and a minor in history. Up until recently he did not know how to put his degree to use but found a new career goal and hopes to get into construction project management. Some activities he enjoys doing are hunting, fishing, snowboarding, golf, and hiking. After college, he plans to move back to Richmond to pursue a path in construction.     Life on the Hill     Cole first visited the Hill during his senior year of high school on an official visit, where he got to experience his first class at HSC as well as stay the weekend. Instantly, he knew this was the place to spend the next four years. During his time here, Cole has been involved with various clubs and organizations such as Club Lacrosse, Beekeeping Club, Sigma Chi Fraternity, History Club and more. He knew that he wanted to major in economics or business before he got here, but sitting in for Dr. Isaac's econ 101 course on his visit helped make his mind.","David M.

His contributions extended to campus governance as well, where he was a student court investigator for three years.  While balancing his academic and leadership roles, Mr. Campbell also pursued his love for music as a dedicated member of the H-SC Chorus and the H-SC Acousticals for all four years, serving as the President of the Acousticals for two of those years.","My name is Charlie Ames, and I am a second-semester senior from Marietta, GA. I am a Business Economics major who has a strong interest in sales and entrepreneurship through different business ventures in the past. I founded my own vintage resale business, Tomahawk Vintage, in the summer of 2022 and continued to grow the business into a hybrid in-person/ecommerce store that I loved doing for several years. More recently, I had a sales internship this past summer at Coca-Cola UNITED in Atlanta georgia where I continued to learn more about my passion for sales. After graduation, I plan to go back to live in Atlanta, where I'll hopefully be working in a sales position in the beverage or tech industry!    I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hampden-Sydney and am extremely excited to add to the College's history as the 250th anniversary approaches. I am a third generation hampden-sydney student and love that we have the opportunity to learn more about each other and how the college has changed over the last couple of decades. I am involved here on campus in Greek life as a brother of Delta Kappa Epsilon and also in a few clubs, such as Pit Masters. I have numerous hobbies, such as basketball, golf, working out, painting, video games, pickleball, and cooking.","Harrison Taylor is a marketing and digital media strategist working at the intersection of music, culture, and technology.

Through readings, guest lectures, and resources from the StoryCorps project, students will learn communications techniques related to interviewing, listening, and taking oral histories. Each student will be paired with an alumnus for a series of three conversations during the semester. The class will work to construct a series of conversation topics and questions that each student-alumni pair will explore together. The meetings with the alumni partner will constitute a recorded oral history using techniques and topics developed during the course. The class will also construct a public-facing project to report its findings about the College to a larger community in late April. \n\nThroughout the course, active learning exercises will give students the chance to set goals for conversations, and then to practice skills and techniques. Each activity will be followed by in- class reflection to critically examine the goals and expectations of the exercise. Students will use what they are learning to construct conversation prompts and goals for their meetings with alumni. Each alumni conversation will be followed by a written reflection that includes insights gained and ideas for the next meeting. Both formal and informal writing related to all active learning in the course will be kept in a field journal.","Hampden-Sydney College Archives \u0026 Special Collections","English \n.

I am\nfrom Springfield Virginia, and I came to Hampden-Sydney to play football. I chose Hampden-\nSydney over other institutions due to the brotherhood, community, and opportunities that would\nbe available to me, which I felt from the moment I first set foot on campus. After playing my\nfreshman season, I left the football team because I felt the time commitment it came with limited\nme from pursuing everything that Hampden-Sydney offered. After leaving the football team, I\njoined the Honor court as an investigator, took a leadership role in the pre-law society, got\nadmitted into the honors program, joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and still scratched\nmy athletic itch by playing for the rugby club. Since then, I have become captain and president\nof the rugby club, become president of the Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fraternity, explored my\nartistic and musical interests through painting and playing drums and saxophone for our music\nensemble as well as my social band, and spent my summers studying abroad at Oxford, and\nplaying semi-professional rugby while training with the Crusaders International Academy in\nChristchurch, NZ. My time at Hampden-Sydney has played an instrumental role in molding my\ncharacter into who I am today, and I am very excited to contribute to a lasting project for our\n250th anniversary.","I'm a proud graduate of Hampden-Sydney College, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in\nMathematical Economics within the Honors program, complemented by studies in Applied\nMathematics. During my time there, I was deeply involved in campus leadership across multiple\ndomains. I served as a Head Resident Advisor and Freshman Resident Advisor, was active in\nPresident's Men as an ambassador to alumni and prospective students, and participated in the\nPhi Beta Lambda Business Society. I also served as a student representative on the Academic\nAffairs and Safety committees, worked as a student court investigator, and engaged with the\nSociety of seventeen ninety-one leadership program, Men's Chorus, and the Freshman\nLeadership Program at the Wilson Center, among other continuous engagements. This\nfoundation has proved invaluable as I navigate my career.\nAfter graduation, I earned a Master's degree in Business Analytics from the Raymond A. Mason\nSchool of Business at the College of William and Mary, which launched me into data science\nand leadership. My career has since expanded across pharmaceuticals, insurance, and finance,\nwhere I specialized in advanced and predictive analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence,\nand leadership of technical teams. I'm currently completing my MBA at The College William and\nMary, and am expected to graduate in 2027 as I transition into more senior leadership roles.\nBeyond my corporate work, I'm an entrepreneur who owns four businesses. Interweaved in my\npost-graduation career, I have proudly served as the president of the Virginia Peninsula Alumni\nClub for five years, and as a member of the Young Alumni Council for three years. Motivated by\ngiving back to my Alma Mater, I often mentor graduating students in taking the next step in their\ncareers and lives - having mentored more than two dozen young men graduating from the\ncollege in the last five years. Hampden Sydney is the backbone of my career, network, and\nsuccesses.","I was born in Arlington, VA and have spent most of my life in Richmond. I'm a current senior at Hampden-Sydney majoring in History, and I've spent my time at H-SC participating in athletics, clubs, and greek life. I made the decision to come to Hampden-Sydney because I was drawn to the brotherhood, valued a strong education, and wanted to join my two step brothers in college. I was a 2-year member of the Football team and I am a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Some of my best memories here include football game days, eating lunch with my friends in the dining hall, and enjoying nights on the circle.","I am a Hampden-Sydney College alumnus from the class of 1984.  I am a life-long resident of Jacksonville, Florida with the only interruption being Hampden-Sydney and law school.  On the personal side I have been married to Heather Moseley since 1999.  I am a proud father of a daughter (Kate), and two sons (Olin and Andrew).  My oldest son graduated from Elon University then went to Ireland to attend law school at Trinity College in Dublin where he now lives.  My youngest son, Andrew, is a proud alumnus of Hampden-Sydney College ('24) and is currently obtaining his joint degrees of master's in government policy and a law degree from Jacksonville university.  I am a proud alumnus of our college and have participated on the Alumni Board and The Hampden-Sydney Bar Association.  Whenever I step foot on campus, I feel like I am back \"home\" no matter how many years transpire.","I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Fletcher Christian Parsons '26,  and I am currently majoring in Economics with a minor in German Studies.  I come from a small town on the eastern shore of Maryland called Easton, roughly an hour and a half from Washington, D.C.  I also spend a lot of my life in the Florida Keys, visiting family down there. While at home, in Florida, and at school, I enjoy fly fishing (especially in the Keys), golf, and cooking.  Growing up in a small town, I was surrounded by a few Hampden-Sydney alumni, who ultimately made me comfortable attending an all-men's college. I chose HSC because some friends came with me, and it seemed to have a nice mix of social and academic life, which I believe I have taken advantage of. My freshman year, I lived in Cushing and have lived in the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house for the past 3 years. Other than Phi Gam, I have been involved in Ducks Unlimited, the Fly-fishing club, the German club, the Center for the Study of the Political Economy, and the Hobbie Scholar program.","I am happy to meet you; it is my pleasure to be part of this wonderful project as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our cherished institution, Hampden-Sydney College. Thomas Bailey, in his The Amercian Pagent textbook, lists the nice Colonial colleges.  I would strongly argue that since the Colonies were not fighting for Independence until July 4, 1776 there are ten Colonial colleges, with Hampden-Sydney being the tenth. I live in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, a town about 30 minutes east of Manhattan.  I applied to both Hampden-Sydney and Randolph-Macon Colleges and was accepted to both and chose Hampden-Sydney.  Fifty-plus years since my graduation in 1975 I have absolutely no regrets over my choice of Hampden-Sydney and would choose it again in a heartbeat. Some highlights of my undergraduate days include living on Campus, traveling to/from Hampden-Sydney, always saying hello to everyone you met on Campus and the glorious eagle by the flag pole at Death Valley.  All freshman were required to live in a dorm and were assigned to either Venable or Graham Hall.  I was assigned to Venable Hall, room W-11.  The only showers were in the basement, where there was one large shower room.  Winston Hall held the dining commons while the bookstore was on the lower floor.  Traveling from New Jersey to Hampden-Sydney involved taking a Florida-bound Amtrak train from New Jersey to Richmond Broad Street Station, transferring to the Greyhound station and taking a Greyhound bus to Farmville.  There was a two-hour layover between train and bus and the bus, taking the most circuitous route, took two hours to get to Farmville.  Once in Farmville, I needed to walk to the Longwood College two high rise dorms where I would hitch a ride to Hampden-Sydney.   Since Freshmen were not permitted to have cars, we needed to hitch a ride to/from Farmville. Going to Farmville, one would stand by College Church and get picked up; on the return, one waited my the Longwood high rises.. We were told at orientation that you say hello to everyone you meet on Campus.  That is how I met Lt. Col. Gus Franke and because of that encounter went on to major in Mathematics.  I'll be happy to provide many more details about my association with Col. Franke and his lasting positive influence on my life in our later conversations. The third highlight is the magnificent eagle on the football field by the flagpole   When I was back at H-SC this past Spring and Fall I was surprised few know of its historic past.  Our eagle was one of 22 that originally sat on top of the Pennsylvania Station in New York City before it was destroyed in the mid-1960's.   More on this in our conversations as well. I completed my degree requirements in December, 1974 so I could attend Longwood College in the Spring of 1975 as a male day student to complete my Professional Semester in Education.  This included 10 weeks of student teaching at Breckinridge Junior High School in Roanoke, Virginia.  Hampden Sydney would not give us credit for this professional semester and the idea of taking more than four years to earn a bachelors degree,, in 1974, was unthinkable.    I returned home to New Jersey; earned a Masters Degree in History, with a concentration in Colonial and Revolutionary History; taught in a Catholic High School for five years; earned a Maters Degree in Mathematics; taught one year in a K-8 elementary school; then 31 years in a two-year college.  After retiring in December 2017, I was bored and missed teaching so I returned to teaching in the spring of 2020, first at a local community colllege and then at Rutgers University where I am still teaching today. Along the way I was a National Park Ranger at Morristown National Historical Park and served as a docent on Amtrak trains as part the the National Park Service's Trails and Rails program.  From 2004 to 2024 I was a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician for my town and a neighboring town.  Well, this was supposed to be brief, but I hope you find it intersting.   Allow me to close with my favorite quote, from  Christa McAuliffe, the teacher who perished in the Challenger explosion in January, 1986 as it pretty much sums up what I love to do:   \"I touch the future, I teach.\"","Majors: Biology, Psychology Minors: Chemistry, Neuroscience School Affiliations: H-SC Journal of the Sciences, The Tiger Newspaper, Society for Neuroscience, Alpha Chi Sigma, Society for Collegiate Journalism, Eta Sigma Phi, Sigma Xi, Psi Chi, Omicron Delta Kappa Research Experience: I have spent my time at H-SC studying a variety of biological topics ranging from cancer genetics to neurobiology. Among my more interesting experiences was presented at the annual Society for Neuroscience in 2023. In the Summer of 2025 I also worked at the University of Kentucky for two months as a visiting undergraduate in the Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center. My proudest achievement over my four years at the college is quite likely the 2025 Journal of the Sciences of which I was the Editor-in-chief. I work diligently to attain that same quality as editor-in-chief of the 2026 edition as well.","Dr. Patrick Martin is a roboticist who develops the algorithms, architectures and systems that support human-robot collaboration in the performing arts.

Parenthood has been fun, but it is also challenging as well. I want to be able to get a good job when I finish my degree to be able to support my family.","Wilson Schoellkopf is a native Texan, born in Dallas, where he currently resides with his wife Lynde and daughter Willow. He graduated from the Episcopal School of Dallas, majored in psychology at Hampden-Sydney ('93) and then earned a Master's degree in clinical psychology from Sothern Methodist University.  Wilson started his professional life in advertising, working for three large agencies in Dallas. He then moved into aviation, where he worked as a flight instructor and contract pilot on single engine, propeller driven aircraft. From there he found his true calling in education and taught mathematics in grades 4 through 8 in public and private schools in the Dallas area.  After four grueling years in the classroom he decided to devote himself full time to serving others. In addition to being active in his church he serves on the Board of Trustees of St. John's Episcopal School, is an officer of the Exchange Club of East Dallas, and advocates for children in foster care with Dallas CASA. He is also a member of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. He has established two scholarship funds for economically disadvantaged students, one at a school where he taught and another at his alma mater. Most days you can find him in a classroom in Dallas ISD, where he tutors math as a volunteer.  When not volunteering his time, Wilson enjoys travel, reading, and spending time in northwest Montana. He speaks highly mediocre Portuguese and plays an even more mediocre game of golf.","Grayson Marriott grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and attended St. Christopher's School and is part of the Hampden-Sydney class of 2026 with a B.A. In Economics.

I spent my time in high school playing football and basketball, fishing, and working at the community center.  I committed to Hampden-Sydney because of the brotherhood.  On my visit, they made me feel as if I were already a student there.  I am on track to graduate in May, and I have spent the last four years away from the football team while majoring in Business and Economics.","I was raised in Arlington, Virginia and graduated from Yorktown High School in 2015 with a strong determination to get away from the busy DC area. Most of my free time in high school was spent running a landscaping business that I passed down to my younger brother upon attending Hampden-Sydney College. I chose Hampden-Sydney College for the beautifully rural campus as well as the strong brotherhood that I heard a lot about. I majored in Business and Economics with a minor in Visual Arts. I enjoyed the opportunity to study abroad in Ireland with Dr. Dempster and Dr. Isaacs. The Hampden-Sydney Volunteer Fire Department is where most of my studying occurred and where I spent most of my free time. Throughout my four years on the Hill I held many jobs including: resident advisor, dark room photography lab assistant, photographer for communications, 9-1-1 dispatcher, EMT, real estate photographer/videographer, and hay farmer/distributor. Although I thoroughly enjoyed studying business and economics, I found that my passion had shifted to public service and I was hired by Chesterfield County Fire \u0026 EMS after graduation in 2019. I worked for Chesterfield as a firefighter/paramedic and lived in the Richmond area for the first year after graduation before my love for the Hampden-Sydney community brought me back. I moved to a house on Five Forks Road next to campus so that I could continue to engaging in campus events. After moving back I was hired by Prince Edward County for a position as the Program Administrator for FEMA Public Assistance. My passion to help others was eventually transformed by LTC Rucker Snead into something I never thought I would be capable of—a Marine Corps pilot. After training for over three years with the United States Marine Corps I officially earned the designation of Naval Aviator this past December. My training in took me to Quantico VA, Pensacola FL, Corpus Christi TX, Milton FL, and as of last week Jacksonville NC. Upon completing training under my current command I will report to San Diego, California to fly the MV-22 Osprey.","My name is Joseph Gonzalez, more known on campus as \"Jojo\". I am a native of Texas but from Virginia before coming to Hampden-Sydney in 2022. Growing up in San Antonio and then moving to the Fredericksburg area was a real life shock. I have played sports all my life, but this past semester my football career as a player finished after 14 years. I always had big dreams as a kid to make it to the big leagues but sadly the genetics were not all the way there. I am proud to leave a mark here on the program overall as I did make First-Team All ODAC. Now as my schooling comes to an end, I have been thinking of taking paths through construction, the military, or something in the lines of Business and Economics which is my major.","Dr. Warner Winborne is a native of Virginia, growing up on a small farm in eastern Hanover county, east of Richmond.  I entered Hampden-Sydney in 1984, and graduated with the class of 1988.  I had thought that I wanted to go to law school, and so I took a job as a researcher for a high-powered Washington D.C. law firm.  After two years of that I decided the practice of law (at least at that lofty level) was not for me.  So I went to Northern Illinois University, where I earned my PhD in Political Science.  After some teaching jobs at a few other colleges and universities, I was fortunate to return to Hampden-Sydney, joining the faculty in 1999.  I taught in the Department of Government and Foreign Affairs for twenty-four years, retiring in 2023.  I now enjoy retirement with my wife Patti in the very southeastern corner of Puerto Rico.","Born and raised in Radford Va, however Hampden-Sydney has always been a \"home away from home.\" My father was an H-SC grad (1987), my uncle was an H-SC grad (1988). Both of them were brief members of the golf team and football team and were members of KA fraternity. My grandfather was an HSC man, who would've graduated here (1952) if not for being a pilot in the Vietnam war for two years and completing his undergrad after at Centre College (which I bet a Kentucky native like yourself is quite familiar with). My grandfather was a member of  Sigma Chi (ΣΧ) at both of these schools. I also have several distant relatives who also attended this great brotherhood we have collectively joined.  However, for all of these legacies towards this campus, I do not believe that it was the reason for my acceptance to the college in 2022. The campus was an atmosphere I truly loved— a small, tight nit community where studies were challenging, but helped me stay disciplined. I was also offered a spot on both the golf team and the soccer team here, however I chose golf as my sport to continue on campus (less running). I am a current English major, with a minor in both Rhetoric, aswell as law and public policy. Like my grandfather, I am also a brother of the ΣΧ fraternity… however I have plenty of friends in SAE and also received a bid there.  It is unbelievable to me that this is my last semester, aswell as the 250th graduating class of H-SC! What a cool atmosphere it has been on campus, filled with celebrations and history all year round.   I think this project you, myself, and my fellow peers with their assigned alumni, have quite a cool agenda ahead us. Looking forward to seeing you face to face, virtually that is.","I arrived at Hampden-Sydney from Lexington in the fall of 1971, having been on campus only once before briefly.  I spent my first two years pretty much studying continuously; I didn't have high confidence in my ability to do the work so may have overcompensated.  I spent so much time in the library that they offered me a job.  Two good friends made during those initial years remain close contacts today.  We should see more of one another than we do.  I pledged a fraternity, SAE, and double majored in history and govt/foreign affairs.  Dr David Holly was one of my foreign affairs professors and my advisor.  All in all, I loved my four years at Hampden-Sydney.  It was a good fit. Following graduation in 1975, I returned to Kentucky still not knowing what I wanted to do.  I started working on the family farm and I'm still here, feeding cows.  As a complement to the farming I've been involved in many community endeavors over the years, specifically planning and zoning issues that affect our rural lifestyle and landscape.  I  served a term as president of the Fayette County Farm Bureau, which provided a useful platform for pursuit of these priorities.  I was on the founding board of the Fayette Alliance, an advocacy group for farming and rural land preservation efforts that simultaneously promotes smart growth for the urban core.","Cole Carman grew up in Richmond Virginia and attended Benedictine College Prep for high school. He is a 22 year old college student with a major in economics and a minor in history. Up until recently he did not know how to put his degree to use but found a new career goal and hopes to get into construction project management. Some activities he enjoys doing are hunting, fishing, snowboarding, golf, and hiking. After college, he plans to move back to Richmond to pursue a path in construction.     Life on the Hill     Cole first visited the Hill during his senior year of high school on an official visit, where he got to experience his first class at HSC as well as stay the weekend. Instantly, he knew this was the place to spend the next four years. During his time here, Cole has been involved with various clubs and organizations such as Club Lacrosse, Beekeeping Club, Sigma Chi Fraternity, History Club and more. He knew that he wanted to major in economics or business before he got here, but sitting in for Dr. Isaac's econ 101 course on his visit helped make his mind.","David M.

His contributions extended to campus governance as well, where he was a student court investigator for three years.  While balancing his academic and leadership roles, Mr. Campbell also pursued his love for music as a dedicated member of the H-SC Chorus and the H-SC Acousticals for all four years, serving as the President of the Acousticals for two of those years.","My name is Charlie Ames, and I am a second-semester senior from Marietta, GA. I am a Business Economics major who has a strong interest in sales and entrepreneurship through different business ventures in the past. I founded my own vintage resale business, Tomahawk Vintage, in the summer of 2022 and continued to grow the business into a hybrid in-person/ecommerce store that I loved doing for several years. More recently, I had a sales internship this past summer at Coca-Cola UNITED in Atlanta georgia where I continued to learn more about my passion for sales. After graduation, I plan to go back to live in Atlanta, where I'll hopefully be working in a sales position in the beverage or tech industry!    I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hampden-Sydney and am extremely excited to add to the College's history as the 250th anniversary approaches. I am a third generation hampden-sydney student and love that we have the opportunity to learn more about each other and how the college has changed over the last couple of decades. I am involved here on campus in Greek life as a brother of Delta Kappa Epsilon and also in a few clubs, such as Pit Masters. I have numerous hobbies, such as basketball, golf, working out, painting, video games, pickleball, and cooking.","Harrison Taylor is a marketing and digital media strategist working at the intersection of music, culture, and technology.

I am\nfrom Springfield Virginia, and I came to Hampden-Sydney to play football. I chose Hampden-\nSydney over other institutions due to the brotherhood, community, and opportunities that would\nbe available to me, which I felt from the moment I first set foot on campus. After playing my\nfreshman season, I left the football team because I felt the time commitment it came with limited\nme from pursuing everything that Hampden-Sydney offered. After leaving the football team, I\njoined the Honor court as an investigator, took a leadership role in the pre-law society, got\nadmitted into the honors program, joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and still scratched\nmy athletic itch by playing for the rugby club. Since then, I have become captain and president\nof the rugby club, become president of the Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fraternity, explored my\nartistic and musical interests through painting and playing drums and saxophone for our music\nensemble as well as my social band, and spent my summers studying abroad at Oxford, and\nplaying semi-professional rugby while training with the Crusaders International Academy in\nChristchurch, NZ. My time at Hampden-Sydney has played an instrumental role in molding my\ncharacter into who I am today, and I am very excited to contribute to a lasting project for our\n250th anniversary.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eI'm a proud graduate of Hampden-Sydney College, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in\nMathematical Economics within the Honors program, complemented by studies in Applied\nMathematics. During my time there, I was deeply involved in campus leadership across multiple\ndomains. I served as a Head Resident Advisor and Freshman Resident Advisor, was active in\nPresident's Men as an ambassador to alumni and prospective students, and participated in the\nPhi Beta Lambda Business Society. I also served as a student representative on the Academic\nAffairs and Safety committees, worked as a student court investigator, and engaged with the\nSociety of seventeen ninety-one leadership program, Men's Chorus, and the Freshman\nLeadership Program at the Wilson Center, among other continuous engagements. This\nfoundation has proved invaluable as I navigate my career.\nAfter graduation, I earned a Master's degree in Business Analytics from the Raymond A.

Interweaved in my\npost-graduation career, I have proudly served as the president of the Virginia Peninsula Alumni\nClub for five years, and as a member of the Young Alumni Council for three years.

I was a 2-year member of the Football team and I am a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

My name is Fletcher Christian Parsons '26,  and I am currently majoring in Economics with a minor in German Studies.  I come from a small town on the eastern shore of Maryland called Easton, roughly an hour and a half from Washington, D.C.  I also spend a lot of my life in the Florida Keys, visiting family down there. While at home, in Florida, and at school, I enjoy fly fishing (especially in the Keys), golf, and cooking.  Growing up in a small town, I was surrounded by a few Hampden-Sydney alumni, who ultimately made me comfortable attending an all-men's college. I chose HSC because some friends came with me, and it seemed to have a nice mix of social and academic life, which I believe I have taken advantage of. My freshman year, I lived in Cushing and have lived in the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house for the past 3 years. Other than Phi Gam, I have been involved in Ducks Unlimited, the Fly-fishing club, the German club, the Center for the Study of the Political Economy, and the Hobbie Scholar program.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eI am happy to meet you; it is my pleasure to be part of this wonderful project as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our cherished institution, Hampden-Sydney College. Thomas Bailey, in his The Amercian Pagent textbook, lists the nice Colonial colleges.  I would strongly argue that since the Colonies were not fighting for Independence until July 4, 1776 there are ten Colonial colleges, with Hampden-Sydney being the tenth. I live in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, a town about 30 minutes east of Manhattan.  I applied to both Hampden-Sydney and Randolph-Macon Colleges and was accepted to both and chose Hampden-Sydney.  Fifty-plus years since my graduation in 1975 I have absolutely no regrets over my choice of Hampden-Sydney and would choose it again in a heartbeat. Some highlights of my undergraduate days include living on Campus, traveling to/from Hampden-Sydney, always saying hello to everyone you met on Campus and the glorious eagle by the flag pole at Death Valley.  All freshman were required to live in a dorm and were assigned to either Venable or Graham Hall.  I was assigned to Venable Hall, room W-11.  The only showers were in the basement, where there was one large shower room.  Winston Hall held the dining commons while the bookstore was on the lower floor.  Traveling from New Jersey to Hampden-Sydney involved taking a Florida-bound Amtrak train from New Jersey to Richmond Broad Street Station, transferring to the Greyhound station and taking a Greyhound bus to Farmville.  There was a two-hour layover between train and bus and the bus, taking the most circuitous route, took two hours to get to Farmville.  Once in Farmville, I needed to walk to the Longwood College two high rise dorms where I would hitch a ride to Hampden-Sydney.   Since Freshmen were not permitted to have cars, we needed to hitch a ride to/from Farmville. Going to Farmville, one would stand by College Church and get picked up; on the return, one waited my the Longwood high rises.. We were told at orientation that you say hello to everyone you meet on Campus.  That is how I met Lt. Col. Gus Franke and because of that encounter went on to major in Mathematics.  I'll be happy to provide many more details about my association with Col. Franke and his lasting positive influence on my life in our later conversations. The third highlight is the magnificent eagle on the football field by the flagpole   When I was back at H-SC this past Spring and Fall I was surprised few know of its historic past.  Our eagle was one of 22 that originally sat on top of the Pennsylvania Station in New York City before it was destroyed in the mid-1960's.   More on this in our conversations as well. I completed my degree requirements in December, 1974 so I could attend Longwood College in the Spring of 1975 as a male day student to complete my Professional Semester in Education.  This included 10 weeks of student teaching at Breckinridge Junior High School in Roanoke, Virginia.  Hampden Sydney would not give us credit for this professional semester and the idea of taking more than four years to earn a bachelors degree,, in 1974, was unthinkable.    I returned home to New Jersey; earned a Masters Degree in History, with a concentration in Colonial and Revolutionary History; taught in a Catholic High School for five years; earned a Maters Degree in Mathematics; taught one year in a K-8 elementary school; then 31 years in a two-year college.  After retiring in December 2017, I was bored and missed teaching so I returned to teaching in the spring of 2020, first at a local community colllege and then at Rutgers University where I am still teaching today. Along the way I was a National Park Ranger at Morristown National Historical Park and served as a docent on Amtrak trains as part the the National Park Service's Trails and Rails program.  From 2004 to 2024 I was a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician for my town and a neighboring town.  Well, this was supposed to be brief, but I hope you find it intersting.   Allow me to close with my favorite quote, from  Christa McAuliffe, the teacher who perished in the Challenger explosion in January, 1986 as it pretty much sums up what I love to do:   \"I touch the future, I teach.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMajors: Biology, Psychology Minors: Chemistry, Neuroscience School Affiliations: H-SC Journal of the Sciences, The Tiger Newspaper, Society for Neuroscience, Alpha Chi Sigma, Society for Collegiate Journalism, Eta Sigma Phi, Sigma Xi, Psi Chi, Omicron Delta Kappa Research Experience: I have spent my time at H-SC studying a variety of biological topics ranging from cancer genetics to neurobiology.

In addition to being active in his church he serves on the Board of Trustees of St. John's Episcopal School, is an officer of the Exchange Club of East Dallas, and advocates for children in foster care with Dallas CASA. He is also a member of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. He has established two scholarship funds for economically disadvantaged students, one at a school where he taught and another at his alma mater. Most days you can find him in a classroom in Dallas ISD, where he tutors math as a volunteer.  When not volunteering his time, Wilson enjoys travel, reading, and spending time in northwest Montana. He speaks highly mediocre Portuguese and plays an even more mediocre game of golf.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eGrayson Marriott grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and attended St. Christopher's School and is part of the Hampden-Sydney class of 2026 with a B.A. In Economics.

He began his career in commercial real estate brokerage with CBRE of Virginia before transitioning into business development in the eLearning industry. In 2015, Blake co-founded OnPoint Building Services with Cory Jessee, driven by a vision to elevate customer service and employee care in the janitorial industry. Over the past decade, OnPoint has earned a reputation for quality service, exceptional communication, and a company culture that prioritizes employee well-being. Blake has been actively involved in the local community, serving as Chairman of the Board of PiN Ministry (People in Need), a non-profit dedicated to serving the poor. He is also a co-founder and the current Chairman of the Board of VB Fellows, a local non-profit that provides a year of mentorship and career development for recent college graduates.

I spent my time in high school playing football and basketball, fishing, and working at the community center.  I committed to Hampden-Sydney because of the brotherhood.  On my visit, they made me feel as if I were already a student there.  I am on track to graduate in May, and I have spent the last four years away from the football team while majoring in Business and Economics.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eI was raised in Arlington, Virginia and graduated from Yorktown High School in 2015 with a strong determination to get away from the busy DC area. Most of my free time in high school was spent running a landscaping business that I passed down to my younger brother upon attending Hampden-Sydney College. I chose Hampden-Sydney College for the beautifully rural campus as well as the strong brotherhood that I heard a lot about. I majored in Business and Economics with a minor in Visual Arts. I enjoyed the opportunity to study abroad in Ireland with Dr. Dempster and Dr. Isaacs. The Hampden-Sydney Volunteer Fire Department is where most of my studying occurred and where I spent most of my free time. Throughout my four years on the Hill I held many jobs including: resident advisor, dark room photography lab assistant, photographer for communications, 9-1-1 dispatcher, EMT, real estate photographer/videographer, and hay farmer/distributor. Although I thoroughly enjoyed studying business and economics, I found that my passion had shifted to public service and I was hired by Chesterfield County Fire \u0026amp; EMS after graduation in 2019. I worked for Chesterfield as a firefighter/paramedic and lived in the Richmond area for the first year after graduation before my love for the Hampden-Sydney community brought me back. I moved to a house on Five Forks Road next to campus so that I could continue to engaging in campus events. After moving back I was hired by Prince Edward County for a position as the Program Administrator for FEMA Public Assistance. My passion to help others was eventually transformed by LTC Rucker Snead into something I never thought I would be capable of—a Marine Corps pilot. After training for over three years with the United States Marine Corps I officially earned the designation of Naval Aviator this past December. My training in took me to Quantico VA, Pensacola FL, Corpus Christi TX, Milton FL, and as of last week Jacksonville NC. Upon completing training under my current command I will report to San Diego, California to fly the MV-22 Osprey.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMy name is Joseph Gonzalez, more known on campus as \"Jojo\". I am a native of Texas but from Virginia before coming to Hampden-Sydney in 2022. Growing up in San Antonio and then moving to the Fredericksburg area was a real life shock. I have played sports all my life, but this past semester my football career as a player finished after 14 years. I always had big dreams as a kid to make it to the big leagues but sadly the genetics were not all the way there. I am proud to leave a mark here on the program overall as I did make First-Team All ODAC. Now as my schooling comes to an end, I have been thinking of taking paths through construction, the military, or something in the lines of Business and Economics which is my major.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDr. Warner Winborne is a native of Virginia, growing up on a small farm in eastern Hanover county, east of Richmond.  I entered Hampden-Sydney in 1984, and graduated with the class of 1988.  I had thought that I wanted to go to law school, and so I took a job as a researcher for a high-powered Washington D.C. law firm.  After two years of that I decided the practice of law (at least at that lofty level) was not for me.  So I went to Northern Illinois University, where I earned my PhD in Political Science.  After some teaching jobs at a few other colleges and universities, I was fortunate to return to Hampden-Sydney, joining the faculty in 1999.  I taught in the Department of Government and Foreign Affairs for twenty-four years, retiring in 2023.  I now enjoy retirement with my wife Patti in the very southeastern corner of Puerto Rico.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in Radford Va, however Hampden-Sydney has always been a \"home away from home.\" My father was an H-SC grad (1987), my uncle was an H-SC grad (1988). Both of them were brief members of the golf team and football team and were members of KA fraternity. My grandfather was an HSC man, who would've graduated here (1952) if not for being a pilot in the Vietnam war for two years and completing his undergrad after at Centre College (which I bet a Kentucky native like yourself is quite familiar with). My grandfather was a member of  Sigma Chi (ΣΧ) at both of these schools. I also have several distant relatives who also attended this great brotherhood we have collectively joined.  However, for all of these legacies towards this campus, I do not believe that it was the reason for my acceptance to the college in 2022. The campus was an atmosphere I truly loved— a small, tight nit community where studies were challenging, but helped me stay disciplined. I was also offered a spot on both the golf team and the soccer team here, however I chose golf as my sport to continue on campus (less running). I am a current English major, with a minor in both Rhetoric, aswell as law and public policy. Like my grandfather, I am also a brother of the ΣΧ fraternity… however I have plenty of friends in SAE and also received a bid there.  It is unbelievable to me that this is my last semester, aswell as the 250th graduating class of H-SC! What a cool atmosphere it has been on campus, filled with celebrations and history all year round.   I think this project you, myself, and my fellow peers with their assigned alumni, have quite a cool agenda ahead us. Looking forward to seeing you face to face, virtually that is.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eI arrived at Hampden-Sydney from Lexington in the fall of 1971, having been on campus only once before briefly.  I spent my first two years pretty much studying continuously; I didn't have high confidence in my ability to do the work so may have overcompensated.  I spent so much time in the library that they offered me a job.  Two good friends made during those initial years remain close contacts today.  We should see more of one another than we do.  I pledged a fraternity, SAE, and double majored in history and govt/foreign affairs.  Dr David Holly was one of my foreign affairs professors and my advisor.  All in all, I loved my four years at Hampden-Sydney.  It was a good fit. Following graduation in 1975, I returned to Kentucky still not knowing what I wanted to do.  I started working on the family farm and I'm still here, feeding cows.  As a complement to the farming I've been involved in many community endeavors over the years, specifically planning and zoning issues that affect our rural lifestyle and landscape.  I  served a term as president of the Fayette County Farm Bureau, which provided a useful platform for pursuit of these priorities.  I was on the founding board of the Fayette Alliance, an advocacy group for farming and rural land preservation efforts that simultaneously promotes smart growth for the urban core.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eCole Carman grew up in Richmond Virginia and attended Benedictine College Prep for high school. He is a 22 year old college student with a major in economics and a minor in history. Up until recently he did not know how to put his degree to use but found a new career goal and hopes to get into construction project management. Some activities he enjoys doing are hunting, fishing, snowboarding, golf, and hiking. After college, he plans to move back to Richmond to pursue a path in construction.     Life on the Hill     Cole first visited the Hill during his senior year of high school on an official visit, where he got to experience his first class at HSC as well as stay the weekend. Instantly, he knew this was the place to spend the next four years. During his time here, Cole has been involved with various clubs and organizations such as Club Lacrosse, Beekeeping Club, Sigma Chi Fraternity, History Club and more. He knew that he wanted to major in economics or business before he got here, but sitting in for Dr. Isaac's econ 101 course on his visit helped make his mind.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eDavid M. Campbell is a highly accomplished technical leader who currently serves as a government civilian Technical Project Officer at US Cyber Command and at NSWC Dahlgren Division. Since graduating from Hampden-Sydney College in 2015, he has spearheaded multi-million-dollar projects, including the development of novel kinetic capabilities for the Naval Railgun and 5-inch gun programs. His experience with the Navy includes a strong background in mechanical and electrical design, systems safety, and program management. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Music from Hampden-Sydney College and has received numerous awards for his engineering excellence and meritorious service to the US DoW.  Life while living at The Hill:  During his undergraduate years at Hampden-Sydney College, Mr. Campbell demonstrated a deep commitment to a wide array of campus activities. His passion for science was evident through his membership in the Alpha Chi Sigma (AXE) professional fraternity, where he served as Master of Ceremonies for two semesters and as President for another two. Also, he served as an H-SC physics department tutor during his junior and senior years. Due to his love of STEM demonstrations, he also took on leadership responsibilities within the Society of Physics Students, serving as its Vice President for one year.  In recognition of his leadership and scholastic achievements, in 2014 he was inducted into the Omnicron Delta Kappa (ODK) honor society. His contributions extended to campus governance as well, where he was a student court investigator for three years.  While balancing his academic and leadership roles, Mr. Campbell also pursued his love for music as a dedicated member of the H-SC Chorus and the H-SC Acousticals for all four years, serving as the President of the Acousticals for two of those years.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMy name is Charlie Ames, and I am a second-semester senior from Marietta, GA. I am a Business Economics major who has a strong interest in sales and entrepreneurship through different business ventures in the past. I founded my own vintage resale business, Tomahawk Vintage, in the summer of 2022 and continued to grow the business into a hybrid in-person/ecommerce store that I loved doing for several years. More recently, I had a sales internship this past summer at Coca-Cola UNITED in Atlanta georgia where I continued to learn more about my passion for sales. After graduation, I plan to go back to live in Atlanta, where I'll hopefully be working in a sales position in the beverage or tech industry!    I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hampden-Sydney and am extremely excited to add to the College's history as the 250th anniversary approaches. I am a third generation hampden-sydney student and love that we have the opportunity to learn more about each other and how the college has changed over the last couple of decades.

Haycox, Historian of the Merrill's Marauders Proud Descendants Association.","From Wikipedia:  Merrill's Marauders (named after Frank Merrill) or Unit Galahad, officially named the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), was a United States Army long range penetration special operations jungle warfare unit, which fought in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II, or China-Burma-India Theater (CBI). The unit became famous for its deep-penetration missions behind Japanese lines, often engaging Japanese forces superior in number. In slightly more than five months of combat, the Marauders had advanced 750 miles (1,210 km) through some of the harshest jungle terrain in the world, fought in five major engagements (Walawbum, Shaduzup, Inkangahtawng, Nhpum Ga, and Myitkyina) and engaged in combat with the Japanese Army on thirty-two separate occasions, including two conventional defensive battles with enemy forces for which the force had not been intended or equipped. Battling Japanese soldiers, hunger, fevers, and disease, they had traversed more jungle terrain on their long-range missions than any other U.S. Army formation during World War II. \nThe men of the Merrill's Marauders enjoyed the rare distinction of having each soldier awarded the Bronze Star. In June 1944, the 5307th Composite Unit (provisional) was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation: The unit must display such gallantry, determination, and esprit de corps in accomplishing its mission under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions as to set it apart and above other units participating in the same campaign. \nOn 10 August 1944 the Marauders were consolidated into the 475th Infantry, which continued service in northern Burma as a component of the brigade-sized MARS Task Force until February 1945. On 21 June 1954 the 475th Infantry was re-designated as the 75th Infantry from which descended the 75th Ranger Regiment. \nThe commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Marauders, Colonel George A. McGee was inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame (1992) for extraordinary valor and exemplary service. Roy H. Matsumoto (1993), Henry Gosho (1997), and Grant Hirabayashi (2004), Japanese-American interpreters for the Marauders were also inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame. \nOn 5 December 2019, the United States Senate passed S. 743, the Merrill's Marauders Congressional Gold Medal Act, legislation to honor the Marauders' extraordinary service. On 22 September 2020, the House of Representatives also passed the bill by unanimous consent. The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest expression by the Congress of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions to the country. On 6 October, the Bill approving the medal award was sent to the White House for its final signature. \nAs of 31 December 2020, seven Marauders were still alive. By May 2022, this number had dwindled to just three.","Samuel Vaughn Wilson Papers (SC 000101)","The collection contains approximately 15 linear feet of material related to the history of Merrill's Marauders as compiled by the Merrill's Marauders Proud Descendants Association, including General Orders (copies), Special Orders (copies), news articles and clippings (originals and copies), documents from the National Archives (copies), records of attendance at Association meetings, original photographs, oral histories on compact disc, various A/V items including movies and television specials, and a Database of soldier names in digital format.","The nature of the Hampden-Sydney College Archives and Special Collections means that copyright or other information about restrictions may be difficult or even impossible to determine despite reasonable efforts.

Wilson spent more than 35 years working for the United States military, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant general. Over the course of his career, General Wilson worked for the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency and played a prominent role in formulating the army's counter-insurgency (COIN) doctrine.  ","Wilson was born September 23, 1923 in Rice, Virginia. He was the son of Jasper Dennis \"Cap'n Jack\" Wilson (1879-1959) and Helen Wilson (1893-1955). Sam's family had deep roots in rural Virginia and the Prince Edward County area. After graduating from high school in 1940, and inspired by a speech by Winston Churchill, Sam enlisted in the Virginia National Guard, though he lied about his age in order to enter the service (originally as a bugler). He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a second lieutenant by the age of 18.","During World War II, Sam volunteered for the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), better known as \"Merrill's Marauders.\" The Marauders gained fame in what was then Burma. The 3,000 man force fought Japanese troops behind the lines with the help of English, Indian, and Burmese forces. The Marauders suffered more than 95% casualties. Sam was among those who were wounded, killed, or who fell ill in the tropical and mountainous conditions. He served only a few months in the Marauders, but his experiences were formative. He won the respect of his men for his scouting missions, which often found him miles ahead of Japanese forces. For his conduct, Sam was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, but he had to wait years to get it. Later, Sam served as a historical advisor to the 1962 Sam Fuller film Merrill's Marauders and had a speaking role in the movie.","After the war, Sam joined the ranks of U.S. intelligence, tasked with containing communism and maintaining the balance of power in Europe. Sam was a student at Columbia University, where, as an officer in OSS (Office of Strategic Services), he studied Russia and Russian history. He became fluent in Russian and German and later spoke other languages as well. Despite his intelligence and accomplishments, Sam never obtained a college degree, though later in life he received various honorary degrees.","In the 1950s, now a major, Wilson worked in Germany as a spy, a job that not only put his life in danger, but placed extraordinary pressure on his family, who traveled with him. Nevertheless, by the 1950s, Sam's career had established a pattern: he would travel across the globe, while also working for long stretches in the United States. Over the course of his career, he served at various military posts, including Fort Bragg, Fort Leavenworth, and Fort Benning.","In the early 1960s, Colonel Wilson worked with Ed Lansdale in Washington, D.C., to formulate the United States' counterinsurgeny doctrine. In Vietnam, Sam would help implement this doctrine. Sam believed the war against communism could not be won in Vietnam without the support of the local population. Winning the \"hearts and minds\" of civilians, therefore, was essential to victory. Eventually, Sam was put in charge of pacification efforts in Long An province in 1967. He served in that capacity for several months before returning to the States in late 1967 to teach Special Forces at Fort Bragg. Decades later, Sam served as a commentator for Ken Burns's critically acclaimed documentary on the Vietnam War.","Sam continued to rise in the ranks, earning promotion to major general and then lieutenant general before retiring in 1977. He spent extended periods of time in the 1970s in the Soviet Union as an intelligence officer. He also developed close relationships with men in government such as George H. W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. Sam's last post was as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. His decision to retire was not just for his benefit, but done out of concern for the health of his wife, Brenda.","After retiring from the military, at the behest of his friend Earl \"Frosty\" Lockwood, Sam worked as a consultant for the small, D.C. area intelligence firm Betac. Despite pressure from some admirers, Sam mostly kept out of politics and avoided calls for running for office. He spent most of his time on his farm and taught college courses on politics and government at Longwood University and HSC. A man of faith, he also taught Sunday School in the Farmville area. A warm and outgoing man who liked to tell stories, Sam was an accomplished musician, who liked to play piano and guitar for the many visitors to the farm.  ","In 1992, Sam was chosen to be president of Hampden-Sydney College and served in the position until 2000. As president, one of Sam's first accomplishments was refurbishing campus buildings that had fallen into disrepair. He also was responsible for significantly growing the HSC endowment. In 1996, HSC gained national attention for its decision, after a long and highly publicized debate, the college chose to remain an all-male college. Sam was also responsible for bringing many celebrities to campus for major events. In 1993, HSC held a symposium on the Vietnam War attended by General William Westmoreland, film director Oliver Stone, and journalist Morley Safer, among others. Other celebrities that visited during Sam's tenure included actor James Earl Jones, authors Doris Goodwin and Tom Clancy, and controversial former military officer and aspiring politician Oliver North.","After retiring from the presidency, Sam continued to teach and remain active in the Farmville area. He worked with HSC undergraduate Drew Prehmus to complete the biography \"General Sam.\" Sam died on June 10, 2017 of lung cancer at the age of 93. ","Sam was married twice, the first time to Frances Brenda Downing (1926-1987), whom Sam met while stationed at Fort Benning shortly after the war. They had four children: Sam Jr. (1946-), Susi (1949- ), Jackson (1952-), and David (1957-). After the death of Brenda in 1987, Sam remarried to Susi Wilson (born Virginia Howton), who was herself a native of the South and an officer in the U.S. military.","This record contains a folder forwarded from General Sam Wilson's son, Jack, who was a frequent editor and collaborator with his father. This record was emailed as a zipped file to General Wilson's wife, Susi, who then forwarded them via email to Ryan Pemberton, head of the Wilson Center, who then emailed them to the H-SC Archives. Once unzipped, a logical disk image of the files was created. Bulk Extractor Reports were run to identify sensitive information, and saved in a separate folder.

Wilson spent more than 35 years working for the United States military, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant general. Over the course of his career, General Wilson worked for the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency and played a prominent role in formulating the army's counter-insurgency (COIN) doctrine.  ","Wilson was born September 23, 1923 in Rice, Virginia. He was the son of Jasper Dennis \"Cap'n Jack\" Wilson (1879-1959) and Helen Wilson (1893-1955). Sam's family had deep roots in rural Virginia and the Prince Edward County area. After graduating from high school in 1940, and inspired by a speech by Winston Churchill, Sam enlisted in the Virginia National Guard, though he lied about his age in order to enter the service (originally as a bugler). He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a second lieutenant by the age of 18.","During World War II, Sam volunteered for the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), better known as \"Merrill's Marauders.\" The Marauders gained fame in what was then Burma. The 3,000 man force fought Japanese troops behind the lines with the help of English, Indian, and Burmese forces. The Marauders suffered more than 95% casualties. Sam was among those who were wounded, killed, or who fell ill in the tropical and mountainous conditions. He served only a few months in the Marauders, but his experiences were formative. He won the respect of his men for his scouting missions, which often found him miles ahead of Japanese forces. For his conduct, Sam was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, but he had to wait years to get it. Later, Sam served as a historical advisor to the 1962 Sam Fuller film Merrill's Marauders and had a speaking role in the movie.","After the war, Sam joined the ranks of U.S. intelligence, tasked with containing communism and maintaining the balance of power in Europe. Sam was a student at Columbia University, where, as an officer in OSS (Office of Strategic Services), he studied Russia and Russian history. He became fluent in Russian and German and later spoke other languages as well. Despite his intelligence and accomplishments, Sam never obtained a college degree, though later in life he received various honorary degrees.","In the 1950s, now a major, Wilson worked in Germany as a spy, a job that not only put his life in danger, but placed extraordinary pressure on his family, who traveled with him. Nevertheless, by the 1950s, Sam's career had established a pattern: he would travel across the globe, while also working for long stretches in the United States. Over the course of his career, he served at various military posts, including Fort Bragg, Fort Leavenworth, and Fort Benning.","In the early 1960s, Colonel Wilson worked with Ed Lansdale in Washington, D.C., to formulate the United States' counterinsurgeny doctrine. In Vietnam, Sam would help implement this doctrine. Sam believed the war against communism could not be won in Vietnam without the support of the local population. Winning the \"hearts and minds\" of civilians, therefore, was essential to victory. Eventually, Sam was put in charge of pacification efforts in Long An province in 1967. He served in that capacity for several months before returning to the States in late 1967 to teach Special Forces at Fort Bragg. Decades later, Sam served as a commentator for Ken Burns's critically acclaimed documentary on the Vietnam War.","Sam continued to rise in the ranks, earning promotion to major general and then lieutenant general before retiring in 1977. He spent extended periods of time in the 1970s in the Soviet Union as an intelligence officer. He also developed close relationships with men in government such as George H. W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. Sam's last post was as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. His decision to retire was not just for his benefit, but done out of concern for the health of his wife, Brenda.","After retiring from the military, at the behest of his friend Earl \"Frosty\" Lockwood, Sam worked as a consultant for the small, D.C. area intelligence firm Betac. Despite pressure from some admirers, Sam mostly kept out of politics and avoided calls for running for office. He spent most of his time on his farm and taught college courses on politics and government at Longwood University and HSC. A man of faith, he also taught Sunday School in the Farmville area. A warm and outgoing man who liked to tell stories, Sam was an accomplished musician, who liked to play piano and guitar for the many visitors to the farm.  ","In 1992, Sam was chosen to be president of Hampden-Sydney College and served in the position until 2000. As president, one of Sam's first accomplishments was refurbishing campus buildings that had fallen into disrepair. He also was responsible for significantly growing the HSC endowment. In 1996, HSC gained national attention for its decision, after a long and highly publicized debate, the college chose to remain an all-male college. Sam was also responsible for bringing many celebrities to campus for major events. In 1993, HSC held a symposium on the Vietnam War attended by General William Westmoreland, film director Oliver Stone, and journalist Morley Safer, among others. Other celebrities that visited during Sam's tenure included actor James Earl Jones, authors Doris Goodwin and Tom Clancy, and controversial former military officer and aspiring politician Oliver North.","After retiring from the presidency, Sam continued to teach and remain active in the Farmville area.
