Bucks Physical Plant has been
working long, hard hours during
the semester to improve the campus,
but last week they discovered
something no one expected.
Staffers were working on the
reconstruction of the Financial Aid
wing in lower Rollins when they
unearthed a the mummy of a
teacher who went missing in 1967.
The body was identified through
dental records as Bucks professor
Thomas Sullen.
He was reportedly an amiable
and enthusiastic Peace and Love
teacher; everyone enjoyed his class
and there was always great feedback
from the students.
But, police suspect that a former
student may be responsible for his
death.
John C. Homeside was rumored
to have been anticipating an A in
the professor’s class, but school
documents show he received a C.
Many students suspected that
Homeside set the professor up at a
phony sit-in protesting the inhumane
treatment of campus grass
and weeds, citing the violence perpetrated
upon them by lawnmowers.
Sullen was known for his dedication
to sit-ins and would not move
until something was done.
After more than four decades,
Sullen’s family is grateful to finally
have his remains for burial.
“I am glad to have him back,”
said son Jeremy Sullen. “Now we
can bury him and he can finally
end his last sit-in..”
An autopsy is underway and
services will be announced later in
the week.
