Student Army Training Corps, DePauw University, Greencastle, 1918
| Description: |
Group portrait of members of the Student Army Training Corps, seated on risers with rifles at order arms at DePauw University in Greencastle in December, 1918. In May of 1918, during WWI, the government began formation of the Student Army Training Corps (S.A.T.C.) at DePauw University. Students were inducted into the S.A.T.C. with government paid tuition, lodging, board, and a monthly allowance, plus uniforms and military gear. In November 1918 the flu epidemic hit the campus and the men were quarantined and women students were sent home. With the signing of the Armistice on November 11, the war was over and the S.A.T.C. program was demobilized on December 14. The students in this image are assembled about the time the program ended. |
