Bates Student<\/em> issues from 1945<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

During World War II, The Bates Student<\/em> editorial leadership (editor, managing editor, associate editors, business manager, and circulation manager) were all women, so this collection of 11 issues of the Student<\/em> <\/a>from 1945 is distinctive in that regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appropriately, one of the featured issues in this sale has a cover story about the launching of the S.S. Bates Victory<\/em> in Wilmington, Calif., on May 2, christened by noted alumna Dora Shaw Heffner, Class of 1906.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
