Crown College:
The Early Years
O Pioneers!
Updated August 24, 2023
We were an odd, selected, and self-selected crew at a special time and place. Rather than go to Berkeley, UCLA, Cal Tech or an Ivy League, we each decided to join an experiment in undergraduate education. No grades. Small classes. Direct relationships with faculty members (who had also self-selected to be there). Vietnam sparked self-reflection and political action. All this among the redwoods, Alan Chadwick’s garden, and a view of Monterey Bay and the Pacific, stretching to the horizon.
There were no traditions. We were pioneers. And, like pioneers in other times, we were both independent of and dependent upon each other. We created a community of seekers after truth. The luckiest among us found life-long partners. All of us found friends.
Now, Crown College is at a crossroads. Unlike the ‘60s and ‘70s, many college programs and activities that formed the unique college identities now require financial support from the colleges themselves. The college concept that we enjoyed will continue to shrink in importance unless the provosts have sufficient funds to maintain and enhance the unique college programs and activities. The distinctive features of Crown College that were most meaningful to us–the small classes, the friendships with faculty, the unique core courses, and the pleasure of living with, dining with, and attending classes and college nights with our Crown cohort–are all at risk of vanishing.
With this in mind, we asked you to help us raise $1,000,000 to preserve the best things about Crown College for future generations. We set a goal of raising $1,000,000 for the Crown College Endowment Fund and the Crown College Current Fund to ensure that current and future provosts have the funds to preserve Crown’s identity. And…you did it!!
Thanks to a generous matching grant of $400,000 from an anonymous Crown alumnus, we were able to reach our goal of $1,000,000 in July 2023.

Formed Reunion Committee
In April 2020, three members of the Crown Provost Advisory Committee volunteered to lead the planning for a 50th reunion of the classes of ’70 and ’71. We are from left to right: Su Nerton (Crown ’71), Jim Lapsley (Crown ’71), and Lisa Rose (Crown ’72).
Held Focus Groups
In April 2020, we emailed the classes of ’70 and ’71 for focus group volunteers. Two Zoom meetings were held in May to identify general preferences upon which we could base a survey to be emailed to alumni of the classes of ’70 and ’71.
Created a Website
In the summer of 2020, we created this website. The aim is to reacquaint ourselves with the Crown community of the early years, bring us together in the spring of 2022, and pave the way for new and renewed friendships.
Altered Reunion Plans
As the pandemic raged, we postponed the in-person 50th reunion of the classes of ’70, ’71, and ’72 until April 2022. But then, we had a wild idea, let’s have a combined 50th reunion of the classes of ’68, ’69, ’70, ’71, and ’72, bringing together all the founding students of Crown College. What a great idea!
