Time Frame I.V.

[Mark Kohut]

Yes, Mid seems right:

Wm. Manchester's superficial but thorough base-touching history,
"The Glory and the Dream", says (in different places):
 In 1963, students reported (to questioners) that they wanted success, advancement, and an easeful life (my Keatsian allusion). This is the year
in which CofLot49 begins.
 In 1964, the free speech movement began at Berkeley.
 In 1965, there were news-making campus protests at U of Kansas concerning sorority and fraternity 'discrimination'. By the end of 1965, protests against many things had spread to colleges all over the nation.
