Richard T. Drinnon
Richard T. Drinnon (born January 4, 1925, in Portland, Oregon)[1] is professor emeritus of history at Bucknell University. He received his PhD from the University of Minnesota.[2]
In 1961, while Drinnon was a professor at the University of California, he was discovered by police to be the next person on the target list of John Harrison Farmer, who felt that he was on a mission from God to kill people that he believed were associated with communism.[3]
During the Columbia University protests of 1968, Drinnon participated in a student walkout of a speech at Columbia University by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, when Humphrey blamed protesters for disorder on the campus. Drinnon shouted "This is a disgrace" and walked out along with about 30 students.[4]
