I have a story that's set in Milwaukee in a slightly alternate 1927 (women's suffrage passed in the early 1880s and the 1919 Red Scare lasted longer, but otherwise it's pretty much the same as ours). There's a good chance I'm actually moving to Milwaukee in the new year, so a lot of my research I've put off to worry about later.
The thing I am having problems with, though, is that my main character is working on her doctorate at UWM, and I have no idea what that would have entailed. I can find decent resources for general undergrad life in the 1920s, but nothing about what graduate school was like then. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to start looking?
