Title A name given to the resource World War I at Southwestern University Description An account of the resource In 1918, during World War I, the United States War Department created the Student Army Training Corps (SATC) program to help fill positions in the military with trained men. Implemented at hundreds of universities across the nation, the SATC combined both practical and lecture-based military instruction with the general college curriculum. The intended goal was to create a viable population of educated and trained young men who would then join the U.S. military and fight in the war. Southwestern University was one of the colleges with an SATC chapter, which was only active during the fall semester of 1918; Germany’s formal surrender in November rendered its purpose moot. However, as the World War I collection shows, the SATC was a highly valued part of campus life during its existence. The collection of World War I materials from Special Collections prominently features documentation related to the SATC, which is highlighted here on our site. This collection gives us a clear idea of the amount of effort it took to establish, organize, and run this federal military recruitment program. Among these items are correspondence between individuals and institutions, grade reports, photographs of SATC students, curriculum outlines, and pamphlets. Although military instruction was the impetus for the creation of the program, academics were meant to be the central component of the SATC, as shown by the many education-related pamphlets, notices, and letters. The amount of highly detailed correspondence between various agencies, including Southwestern University, the University of Texas at Austin, the U.S. Naval Reserve, and the War Department, is tangible evidence of the value placed on this program by its founding institutions.

Title A name given to the resource Letter regarding academic performance of SATC students, dated Nov. 5, 1918 Subject The topic of the resource Student Army Training Corps (SATC) - World War, 1914-1918 - Southwestern University - Georgetown, TX Description An account of the resource This is a two-page typed letter from 'Robert I. Rees, Brigadier General USA General Staff Chairman' to 'Commanding Officers, District Inspecting Officers, District Educational Directors, and Heads of SATC Institutions'. It is dated 'November 5, 1918'. Both pages have a letterhead of 'Southwestern University Georgetown, Texas' and a watermark of Requisition Bond. The body of the letter on the first page discusses the poor academic performance of the men in many SATC units, due to the conflict between military duties and academic programs, and the 'prevalence of the idea that academic grades will count relatively little in the selection of men for Officers' Training Camps'. Commanding Officers are directed to 'make every possible provision for the requirements of academic study'. The body of the letter on the second page continues to instruct Commanding Officers on how to improve the academic performance of the SATC students. A new plan for Officers' Training Camps selection will include a minimum rating of 'Intelligence as indicated by the Academic record'; therefore, the 'importance of impressing upon men the need for strict attention to their studies is […] self-evident.'

Title A name given to the resource World War I at Southwestern University Description An account of the resource In 1918, during World War I, the United States War Department created the Student Army Training Corps (SATC) program to help fill positions in the military with trained men. Implemented at hundreds of universities across the nation, the SATC combined both practical and lecture-based military instruction with the general college curriculum. The intended goal was to create a viable population of educated and trained young men who would then join the U.S. military and fight in the war. Southwestern University was one of the colleges with an SATC chapter, which was only active during the fall semester of 1918; Germany’s formal surrender in November rendered its purpose moot. However, as the World War I collection shows, the SATC was a highly valued part of campus life during its existence. The collection of World War I materials from Special Collections prominently features documentation related to the SATC, which is highlighted here on our site. This collection gives us a clear idea of the amount of effort it took to establish, organize, and run this federal military recruitment program. Among these items are correspondence between individuals and institutions, grade reports, photographs of SATC students, curriculum outlines, and pamphlets. Although military instruction was the impetus for the creation of the program, academics were meant to be the central component of the SATC, as shown by the many education-related pamphlets, notices, and letters. The amount of highly detailed correspondence between various agencies, including Southwestern University, the University of Texas at Austin, the U.S. Naval Reserve, and the War Department, is tangible evidence of the value placed on this program by its founding institutions.
