Overview
Charles Lenean Flynn Jr. was a Hamilton College student in the class of 1974 who played a prominent role in campus governance during the early 1970s. He served on the Presidential Search Committee and the Winter Study Committee, and was a notable prize winner at graduation. He is identified in the 1974–75 catalog as “Charles Lenean Flynn, Jr.”
Relevance to Research
In April 1973 (spec-1973-04-06) Flynn is named as one of three students—along with John Osborne and William Smith—appointed by Student Senate President Clyde Leff to the President’s Search Committee. The April 1973 issue (spec-1973-04-27) shows him co-distributing a Winter Study questionnaire alongside Neil Scheier and serving on the Winter Study subcommittee representing students. In February 1974 (spec-1974-02-01) he is again listed as a student member of the seal committee for the presidential search. The 1974–75 catalog records him winning both the Dean Alfange Essay Prize and the James Soper Merrill Prize, and lists him among History majors earning honors.
Notes
Referred to as “Chuck Flynn” in informal Spectator references and as “Charles Flynn” or “Charles Lenean Flynn, Jr.” in formal contexts. All references are to the same individual in the class of 1974.
