Student reports on workshops attended after the Kent State shooting, 1970 May-June.

The disruptions at Penn State in June 1970, emerging from the Vietnam war and the firing on students at Kent State, forced a change in scheduled class programs and in the final exam procedures. Students had an option to attend special "workshops" on the state of the country. In Philip S. Klein's History 12 class, he had the students report back their thoughts about the workshops they attended, in lieu of a final exam. These are the twenty-two responses. Also, includes a copy of the Minutes of the Liberal Arts Senate Council meeting, 14 May 1970.
