     Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs. Hanson

different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at

a time, for 27 years.

     When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further

education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn't think that a country girl should borrow

money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm.

So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.

     She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of

time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around classes

to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students

all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there

and what her aims were.
