As war historian, F. Clever Bald curated a series of exhibitions related to the war materials the Clements had been collecting. Randolph Adams was very alert in securing materials from men in service, and spoke to classes and convocations of training groups on campus to urge them to send what they found overseas back to the university. Most notable among these was a Nazi flag a soldier had seized on the campus of the University of Cologne. The large banner was put on display in the basement of the Clements Library along with other materials relating to World War II. These included Japanese, German, and Allied books and pamphlets and propaganda materials sent by alumni. Bald spoke in Lane Hall at a Veterans’ Organization meeting and showed an exhibit of enemy propaganda against Allied troops. The exhibit included Nazi banners and pamphlets.
