Jon Krakauer Instagram – In 1972, when I was 18, I bought this 1961 Volkswagen microbus for $500, rebuilt the 40-horsepower engine, and drove from my home in Corvallis, Oregon to Amherst, Massachusetts to attend a weird new experimental college called Hampshire. I took this photo of my beloved ride parked on the Hampshire campus shortly before I graduated. Right now Hampshire is facing financial problems that threaten its existence, prompting me to write an Op-Ed that was just posted on the New York Times website: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/opinion/higher-education-hampshire-college-.html | Posted on 31/Jan/2019 22:30:02
