Acknowledgments
The Clark College Cannell Library, Clark County Historical Museum and Fort Vancouver Regional Library District were all been invaluable resources as we researched the college's history in preparation for our Diamond Jubilee. We thank them for their generosity and support. In addition, the archives of The Columbian newspaper and the Clark County Sun newspaper provided depth and helped ensure, as much as possible, the accuracy of facts and dates. And we extend our thanks to the administrators, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters -- past and present -- who shared their memories and lent their distinctive voices to our 75th anniversary celebration.
