This extraordinary film “A University Goes to War” dates to WWII and was produced and distributed by the Extension Division of the University of California. The film depicts seven University of California campuses as centers of patriotism striving to educate and train the next generation of democracy defenders. California was a major contributor to the WWII effort. California’s long Pacific Ocean coastline provided the support needed for the Pacific War and the climate was ideal for growing food. The UC schools were major contributors to this by aiding in the research and development of new systems key to winning the war and training cadets through the ROTC curriculum.
