Description
Harvey Baty and Emmalou Baty describe attending the University of Montana (UM) during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Harvey Baty discusses becoming the Director of the School of Religion in 1938 and how he worked to establish innovative courses on world religions. The Batys talk at length about UM student organizations including the Bear Paws, the International Club, and the Synadelphic House—a girls co-op house. They recall their interest in international activities which prompted them to accept employment at the University of Beirut. The Batys describe returning to Montana State University-Bozeman to establish a United Nations exchange program to train Latin Americans in community development. They conclude by comparing college students of their generation with college students in the 1990s.
