http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/230724299

The materials in this collection date from 1945 to 2001, but the bulk of the documents date from the Fall-Winter of 1945, when Crandon F. Clark attended the Biarritz American University (BAU). The materials focusing on BAU include: a press release, an annotated map of the city/facilities, announcements for musical/theatrical productions held at BAU, 33 issues of the campus newspaper, the BAU Banner, photocopies of the school yearbook, the BAU Beacon (1945) and the March 1946 commencement program, original copies of the course catalog and faculty roster and a clipping from Yank magazine (September 1945) on BAU. Also included here is a photocopy of a 1998 Sud Ouest article on Clark's return to Biarritz, with an English translation. The collection also includes a guide to the collection crated by Clark in 2001, which includes more information on his time at BAU, and eight wartime publications. Most of the newspapers and magazines were published by the US Army, but civilian publications from the United States, France and Germany are also present.
