Description: The University of Oklahoma and World War II, A Personal Account 1941 - 1946 by George Lynn Cross. First Edition. Published in 1980 by The University of Oklahoma Press. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. 298 pages. ISBN: 0806116625. Illustrated. From the dust jacket: "...while other schools were turning away education-hungry GIs, the University of Oklahoma was busily fulfilling its mission. Its success lay in the efforts of its two wartime presidents, Joseph A. Brandt, who served until late 1943, and George Lynn Cross, who took over the reins first as acting president and then as president (to serve until 1968). This 'personal account' is just that - a view from the president's office of how the university survived the war and prospered by acquiring war surplus - Navy land and buildings....They foresaw that if after the war the Navy donated the bases to the university the school's growth capacity would be assured....President Cross records many wartime and dawning-peacetime events."
