Colgate University Korean War records, A1081

 Collection
Identifier: A1081

Scope and Contents

The first series in this collection contains service records for Colgate University alumni who served in the military around the time of the Korean War. These are single page cards compiled by the university that include the rank, dates, places, and branch of service for each alum.

The second series contains copies of the newsletter Colgate at War, which was sent to Colgate alums serving in the armed forces around the country and world. It included news on individuals, particularly those serving in the military, as well as updates on life at Colgate, with a particular focus on Colgate athletics. The newsletter was produced by the Alumni Corporation, modeled after a newsletter of the same name that had been produced during World War II by Colgate Athletic Director William A. Reid.
