Clean, square, and firm. Brushes to spine tips and top board edge. Light foxing fore page edge. Internal pages are clean, bright, and free of markings. This book focuses on the campus violence that rocked Stanford University in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Stanford's experience in those years was comparable to that of other universities, especially the elite ones, but the troubles it had to endure did not attract as much attention as Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, and Berkeley. These troubles included arson and the notorious Cambodia Spring of 1970 in which dozens of police and students were hurt. Stanford's buildings suffered significant damage, the office of a university president was burned, and his successor resigned unceremoniously after only nineteen months in office for failing to contain the unrest. Paradoxically, Stanford's prestige and academic strength that had begun in the 1950s during the administration of President J. E. Wallace Sterling and Provost Frederick E. Terman continued to rise despite the crisis.
