Description

With the entrance of the United States into WWI, St. Stephen’s students enlisted in numbers that almost closed the College. In October of 1918, it was arranged to house a unit of the Student Army Training Core on campus, where they were taught mapmaking, military law, and other subjects. The armistice was signed soon after, and the unit was disbanded two months after it was instituted. The government paid its bill, however, and the College remained open.
