Description
This image captures a drill of the 294- man Army Specialized Training Program stationed at Bard. With most Bard students having enlisted or been drafted into WWII, the College again turned to the government, and sought to house an army training unit on campus to keep its doors open. The soldiers in this elite unit had high linguistic abilities and were taught German by Professor Frauenfelder and French by Dr. Artinian, along with map making, hygiene, etc.
