Volume 15, Number 2 (2019) Spring 2019

Big moments are bound to occur over 161 years. One of the momentous times came during and immediately after World War II – for Linfield and, frankly, much of the planet. The college changed immediately and significantly when the war started, as students left to serve and other students dealt with the impacts of the war effort at home. Roberta (Campbell) Johnson ’49 recalls living in President Harry Dillin’s personal residence when veterans returned and housing was in short supply. Her memories and those of her classmates are being captured in an oral history project, “World War II as Experience and Memory,” which you can learn about in these pages. Another significant moment in Linfield’s history occurred last month with the inauguration of Miles K. Davis as our 20^th president. Learn more about the celebration, and the vision for what comes next, in these pages. And, of course, tell us about your own big moments at linfieldmagazine@linfield.edu.

Happy reading.
