Abstract
The ‘60s were a tumultuous time. Just about every way of life changed: Human Rights, racial integration, personal relationships, business practices, church practices and then of course the Laser was created. The Cold War was at its peak and there was a lot of anxiety. “Change” created polarized (pun is intended) camps in almost every phase of life in every country of the world. It was in those times that the Optical Sciences Center came into existence.
