“I spent many hours in Dartmouth Hall, in language and literature classes. In one course on modern French drama in the basement, Professor Rassias went into a performance that involved fulminating, ripping his shirt, and ultimately throwing a chair into the audience of the lecture hall. I happened to be sitting near the front, accompanied by my black Lab. ‘J'ai cogné le chien? (Did I hit your dog?),’ he asked, somewhat nonchalantly, as the dust settled. It still makes me laugh.”Edward Hampton ’87
