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.

40th Anniversary of Kent State-- Part 8: "Dorms Remain Calm"

Strangely, the violence that occurred at Northern Illinois started almost two weeks after Kent State. Until I looked at the scrapbook, I was of the opinion it started within a day or so. I guess that happens when you get old as I am approaching my 59th birthday in ten days. I do wish I had included dates in the article and some are not in chronological order.
