Veteran Enrollment Engulfed Campus
|
The influx of veterans-turned-students after the war, 451 undergrads and 50 graduate students in the School of Journalism alone, caused the University to change its schedule to 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The School also offered additional lab sections in typography and photography on Saturday mornings. Almost 7,000 of the University's 10,236 students were veterans enrolled under the GI Bill of Rights.
Registration was delayed to Oct. 1-2, 1946, to give contractors time to complete emergency housing, including the "Dairy Lawn" trailers (top). Dean Frank L. Mott's History and Principles of Journalism enrollment swelled to 397 (center). The cover of Showme, the campus humor magazine, illustrated the joy of many soldiers as they returned to The Shack, a favorite campus bar (bottom).
