A Force for Change

The Purdue Class of 1950

When World War II ended, a new nation began.

And it began on America’s college campuses. Veterans returned home to the GI Bill, and many became the first in their families to go to college. They returned home to develop the technologies made possible by the war and to send men to the moon. They returned with still-fresh memories of the Depression, but also with unbridled optimism.

The faith and the determination of those veterans and their classmates – and the quiet revolution they started – are captured in this book. The setting is Purdue University, on the banks of the Wabash River in north-central Indiana. The mosaic of memories is in their own words. Available from Amazon.
