In response to President Herzberger’s request for alumni stories, Nicholas “E.Z.” Street ’57 submitted “Whittier College’s Greatest Team,” an essay sharing memories of his Whittier years—from his recruitment by enthusiastic sports coaches, to his experiences playing on the Poet football team, to his recollections of life on campus. An excerpt of that essay was published in The Rock, Spring 2007, and the full text may be read by clicking here.
