| • The G.I. Bill, passed by Congress in 1944, had a profound effect on America, since most of the veteran students returning from World War II service would never have gone to college had there not been a war. They could not have afforded it, but with the G.I. Bill, American higher education became a more democratic institution. In 1946, the beginning of the fall semester on the campus had to be advanced one month, because the concrete block dorms under construction along Union Street were not finished. Temporary buildings were being moved to the campus from military facilities in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Three hundred trailers came from military bases in Nebraska.

• In its April issue, Entrepreneur magazine identified 100 colleges and universities for entrepreneurs and rated IU’s Kelley School program as one of the 12 top-tier national programs. The magazine did not rank the top schools, but listed them alphabetically within the tier. Other top-tier national programs included those at Harvard University, the Wharton School, Stanford University and Babson College. Entrepreneurship education has been offered at IU since 1958. | |
