Reporting from Yellow Springs, Ohio – Lawn signs and bumper stickers
around town still rally support for Antioch College — an academic icon
of the 1960s counterculture and the civil rights and antiwar movements
that ran out of money and closed more than a year ago.
The dream of bringing the college back has never wavered among the
residents of this Ohio village of 3,800. The school and its owner,
Antioch University, were among the largest employers in Yellow Springs,
and many alumni have never left: At least 1 in 5 people attended the
college or had family that did.
