What was ÐÓ°Épro like before the pipeline? What’s been gained? What’s been lost? Terrence Cole will expand on his vast and entertaining knowledge of ÐÓ°Épro history, and discuss the changes ÐÓ°Épro has experienced as a result of the discovery of oil in a free lecture at 7 p.m., Wednesday, June 13 at Schaible Auditorium.

He continued his education and received his PhD in American history at the University of Washington in 1983. In his 21 years as a professor, Cole has been instrumental in ÐÓ°Épro and abroad bringing excitement to the study of history. He has authored five books about ÐÓ°Épro's history.
