Title	William T. Jerome Statement Concerning Candlelight March After Kent State Shootings
Subject	Presidents and Politics Military Ohio Education Universities and colleges Vietnam War National Guard Students Kent State University Riot, 1970 (May 4)
Place	Bowling Green (Ohio) Wood County (Ohio)
Description	This statement by Bowling Green State University President William Jerome reflects on the candlelight march held by Bowling Green students and faculty on May 7, 1970, following the shootings of four students at Kent State University three days earlier. Bowling Green was the only state university in Ohio that did not close following the events of May 4th. The one-page statement measures 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm). A second document, also measuring 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm), details the official plan for the vigil. Kent State University in Kent, Ohio was placed in an international spotlight after a tragic end to a student demonstration against the Vietnam War and the National Guard on May 4, 1970. Shortly after noon on that Monday, 13 seconds of rifle fire by a contingent of 28 Ohio National Guardsmen left four students dead, one permanently paralyzed, and eight others wounded. Not every student was a demonstration participant or an observer; some students were walking to and from class. As a result of the shootings, the university was closed for nearly six weeks.
