| Synopsis: |
"The history of a living institution is the story of its people, " write the editors of A Book of Memories, which beautifully combines prose and photographs to record the history of the people and place that is Kent State University. This moving photographic narrative carefully balances historical overviews of higher education trends, political climates, and social and cultural movements with anecdotal reminiscences of campus life.
