Our Patriotic Campus: Acadia and the First World War
March 28, 2017 (12:00 pm - 1:30 pm)
Location: Acadia Library - Quiet Reading Room
Part Two – Reality
As the students enlist, their stories are reported in the Acadia Athenaeum and Acadia Bulletin. Despite the grief and anguish, Acadia’s patriotism remains high. We will explore the evidence and meet some of the men and women who left this campus to join the fight for justice overseas.
These talks highlight the findings of Archivist Wendy G. Robicheau’s research program. Using local, national, and international resources, Ms. Robicheau is uncovering Acadia and the First World War.
