Cornell ROTC | #tbt

During World War II, colleges and universities across the country expanded their ROTC programs and participated in other military training programs. This was especially true at Cornell University where there were both specialized army and navy training programs. In all, over 20,000 students who trained at Cornell during the war would serve in World War II.Our new local history documentary, "Class of the Century" explores how World War II and the G.I. Bill helped forever change the landscape of higher education in America.https://youtu.be/y21cLFB8rb8?list=PLkEiFS5w2pdmio2Y73g5lrQVfXkcYrLsPPhoto courtesy of The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections at Cornell.
