Description
John Campbell and Louise Campbell describe attending the University of Montana (UM) in the 1930s. They note the small size of the student body and discuss how fraternities and sororities played an active role in administration and campus activities. Louise Campbell recalls living in a sorority house and traveling by train from Big Timber, Montana, to Missoula to attend UM. The Campbells stress the significance of George Finlay Simmons’ presidency and his trial by the state governor and Board of Regents. They mention their favorite teachers—Arthur Stone and Andrew Cogswell—the construction of campus buildings, and the importance of the campus newspaper, The Kaimin, to student life.
