ISU: A Centennial Chronicle
Overview
Former Alumni Director Diane Olson's 416-page history of ISU took six years to research, write, edit and publish. The result is an exhaustive record of ISU's history, gleaned from every student newspaper since 1910, every ISU yearbook since 1904, and every alumni bulletin since 1953, as well as personal interviews, committee minutes, presidential correspondence and other sources. The history book also contains information from books by Leedice Kissane, H. Leigh Gittins, Frank Cosgrove, Bud Davis, Donald Walker, Bill Ryan, and Evelyn Craven, as well as records from the Bannock County Historical Museum.
