Creating the Peoples University Washington State University Book

Washington State University, its main campus nestled among the Palouse Hills on the eastern border of the State of Washington, has met the challenges offered by an ever-widening band of scholars and students and by the countless communities that rely on its teaching, research, and public service. WSU now provides education and conducts research on regional, national, and global planes.

Creating the People's University begins with accounts of a hardy group of teachers, administrators, and students who brought education to the Inland Northwest frontier. The story unfolds as their successors guide the institution through the troubled twentieth century, creating one of America's great universities in the process.
