Owens, refusing to give in to the premonitions of doom, improved admissions, and Northwest saw its fourth largest enrollment increase in history. But what looked best on the campus were the students. Men and women came not only from the Midwest, but from around the world, representing 42 states and 27 foreign countries. Even with all the different backgrounds, visitors could sense the friendly atmosphere of Northwest.
