- UC Berkeley; 1918 Influenza Pandemic -- an historical look at how the "Spanish Flu" in 1918-1919 effected this campus. UC Davis was still a farm school at that time, so there aren't archives we can look at to see how we fared. One quote: "The most serious influenza epidemic to date would witness university building converted into make-shift hospitals, a segment of the campus quarantined, women students working as assistant nurses and “flu mask” manufacturers, public activities curtailed, classes canceled and spring semester delayed. The Spanish flu found a university knuckling down to fight a distant crusade. Within weeks of its arrival, this fifth column, the influenza virus, had outdistanced the foreign threat and become itself the focus of the campus struggle."
- LSU in the Eye of the Storm: On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast, breached New Orleans's levees, and fulfilled the dreaded Soup Bowl Theory, long-prophesized for the city. The Category 4 hurricane's legendary wrath shut down Louisiana's largest city and captivated attention around the world for weeks. In the days following Katrina, Louisiana State University found itself in an unprecedented position. Located in Louisiana's capital of Baton Rouge, the nearest major city to New Orleans, the LSU campus became an intregral resource in hurricane relief efforts. For eight days, the usual acivities of the college campus were suspended to help those in need. LSU in the Eye of the Storm is the story of how LSU coped with a natural disaster of epic proportions and how other campuses might prepare to accept the challenge during tough times as well.
