History
For the winter quarter of 1972, the University Week committee met to determine how to set up that year’s University Week. The committee also determined that the theme would be “China” and was scheduled to coincide with President Nixon’s trip to China. The committee also looked at when within the quarter to hold the week and they decided to hold it mid-quarter in order to stop students from thinking it was a “free” week.
University Week of 1972 would have speakers, lectures, films, and exhibits to look at the theme of China. In addition to those, the university held mini courses for those in Springfield as well as a dinner one night.
