 Education Update - President Lynda Katz, Landmark College
From Windham’s ashes—or rather, following its takeover by the federal government and subsequent auctioning to a New York developer—Landmark College was borne in 1984, realizing a dream of founder and visionary Dr. Charles Drake, who had dyslexia and wanted to create a learning environment specifically for students with learning disabilities.
When Landmark began with 200 students in 1984 (today’s student body is double that size), “we were a boot camp for students with significant learning problems,” says President Katz.
Landmark’s approach is fairly simple, considering that it is one of the only accredited colleges in the country designed exclusively for students with dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) or other specific learning disabilities.

 Boston.com / Sports / College / Football / Landmark celebration
That's how it was a century ago, when every college in the country played on a makeshift gridiron surrounded by bleachers or ropes, with spectators close enough to encourage (or curse) players by name.
The question was whether football would last that long, especially after the ``annus horribilis'' of 1905, when 18 college players across the country were killed and another 160 seriously injured.
Thus was born football's golden age, with the Stadium, Yale Bowl, and the Rose Bowl (the country's three landmarked stadia) as its showpieces.
