Looking across the commons of Kent State University showing virtually deserted campus except for National Guardsmen and police patrolling the area. In foreground is the victory bell where anti-war demonstrators gathered for a noon rally 5/4. A failure to obey a plea by officials to move on brought the movement of the guard. Four persons were killed and several others wounded. The college was ordered closed following the incident. In background (center) is ROTC building which was destroyed by fire by demonstrators 5/2.
