Military Life and Veterans

John Pipes '27

The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program at W&L was founded in 1950 and lasted until 1990. During the 40 years of its history, the ROTC program made up a significant part of the student body and culture on campus, and veterans make up a sizeable amount of W&L alumni today. This research portal contains primary sources pertaining to W&L veterans and the ROTC program, including newspaper articles, interviews with veterans and alumni, and faculty letters.
