Augustana Historical Society: 'Vietnam War Era at Augustana College'

"Chronicle, Volume 1: The Vietnam War Era at Augustana College," a new publication by the Augustana Historical Society, will hold a release event on Dec. 5.

The release event will feature a panel of authors from this volume:

• Mark W. Schwiebert, Augustana College Class of 1972, who served as long-time mayor of Rock Island.
• Gary LaCroix, Class of 1967, an ELCA pastor, who served parishes throughout the Midwest, New York, and Florida.
• Ann Boaden, Class of 1967, a professor emerita of English at Augustana.

Chronicle is a periodical publication of the Augustana Historical Society that focuses on specific historical eras and topics in the history of Augustana College. This first volume, edited by Ann Boaden and Atticus Garrison, considers the late 1960s and early 1970s at Augustana. Given the importance of campus protests to recent national news, the Augustana Historical Society thought it would be timely to revisit another moment of turbulence. The publication features both reflections by alumni and snippets from historical documents.

Please join the Augustana Historical Society from 7-8 p.m. for snacks and conversation, and pick up your own copy of our latest publication.
