 Student Army Training Corp

 The Student Army Training Corp changed college life. It took away sports, fraternities and social functions and replaced them with strict military discipline. Mock trenches were dug on athletic fields, students wore uniforms, lived in barracks and drilled. Some became officers, some became medics, telephone repair men or mechanics. The SATC was a two track system to train leaders and also train technical experts. Both were needed in a modern military.
