By the early 70s, the cultural changes and protests of the late 60s had engulfed Grinnell College, for better or worse. As part of their 30th Reunion activities, the cluster of classes from 1971–73 have curated an exhibition from their Grinnell memorabilia, creating a snapshot of the life and issues on campus in turbulent times.
