Abstract:

Although fought miles away, the Great War was felt at East Carolina when food rationing was imposed in the fall of 1917 by the Food Administration Board under Herbert Hoover. To feed a growing campus with dwindling supplies, Nannie Jeter relied on the University’s farm and hogs, and local produce and seafood.
