  Many of the school’s early milestones and growing pains coincided with the societal and political tumult of the 1960s and 1970s, were influenced by that and, in turn, contributed to the national dialogue of the times.
  Some of the issues addressed in Cal State Fullerton’s early days echo even today on campus: free speec
