Esther Oldt, known to most Antiochians for her work in Antioch Education Abroad but then an Instructor in Voice, sang the vocal, and Mrs. Roosevelt recounted the event in her syndicated newspaper column, “My Day.” • PhotoS courtesy of Antiochiana, Antioch College Antioch students played and sang folk ballads for Helen Hartness Flanders in the mid-1950s at a meeting of the college’s music committee.
