Understanding Herbert Hoover: Ten PerspectivesLee Nash Hoover Institution Press, Stanford University, 1987 - 196 pages "This volume is a collection of essays from the biennial Herbert Hoover symposia begun at George Fox College, Newberg, Oregon, in 1977. That year marked the dedication of the Herbert Hoover Academic Building on the campus, commemorating Hoover's attendance at Friends Pacific Academy, the original school on the site, which was founded by Hoover's uncle, Dr. Henry John Minthorn, in 1885. Every two years since 1977 scholars have met to share and evaluate their continuing research on the life and times of Herbert Hoover."--book jacket |
