Registration of veterans at UH

Description
-
With the war at an end, returning servicemen and servicewomen enrolled at the university to take advantage of the G.I. Bill and enrollment jumped almost five fold, to over 10,028 students, more than 6,000 of them veterans. Some came to UH because they had trained here during the war while others were attracted to Houston’s booming job market. Many of the veterans moved into Trailer Village, a group of 320 residential trailers provided by the Federal Works Agency. Others lived in one of 350 tiny apartments in Veteran’s Village created from surplus barracks from Ellington Field and Camp Wallace.
