I arrived at Hampden-Sydney in the fall of 2001. I did not fully develop the idea of posting class pictures for posterity for another year or so, but where we lack pictures I can at least produce the list of names of those students who finished the various courses they took with Hight.<\/p>

Feel free to browse in other years and see how HSC and philosophy at HSC has grown and developed. After many years, I would stack up our graduates against anyone, the ‘value-add’ of an HSC education is genuinely impressive. So browse and enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>

And if you are an old alum, drop me a line! My email: mhight@hsc.edu\u00a0<\/p>
