History
Tom Martin, who taught at Champlain Regional College, Lennoxville for 20 years, was born in Athens, Ohio on 18 May 1938. He received a B.A. in English Literature from Georgetown University in 1960, an M.A. in Russian Area Studies from Yale University in 1964, an M.A. in Political Science from the University of Chicago in 1965, and a Ph. D. in History from the University of Toronto in 1972. From 1972 to 1992, Martin taught history and political science at Champlain. One course he offered on a few occasions was on regional history. In 1977 and 1979 students in this course were required to carry out oral-history projects. The students interviewed and taped senior citizens' recollections of life in the Eastern Townships during the Great Depression of the thirties and during World War II.
