Wofford College During World War I and the Great Depression


Back in December, little Wofford College beat the reigning National Basketball Champion University of North Carolina in one HUGE upset.  I just wish I had watched it.

But, during World War I it had a Student Army Training Corps and has had a ROTC unit ever since.  Many Wofford alumni and students served during the war.

During the Great Depression many students joined ROTC to help cover expenses.  Many later served in World War II.
