(By Yann Ranaivo, Apr 18, 2010) Excerpt: Had it not been for the influx of veterans who decided to attend college after both World War I and II, then Idaho State University would have probably never turned into one of the Gem State’s major schools.
“The first time the military saved us was during World War I. When that broke out, all the male students, staff and faculty left,” said Scott Turner, who heads student recruitment at ISU. “Essentially, only the women were left, and I think there were only a couple hundred people left. (But) right after the Armistice, soldiers came back and ISU gained momentum.”
Since the beginning of this school year, ISU officials have discussed the possibility of building a memorial that would commemorate the university’s veterans. Cadet Field, which is located just east of the Rendezvous Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, is being turned into open space, and ISU intends to build the memorial in that area.
