AGENDA
WHY SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY?
WORLD WAR I
Syracuse University’s commitment to veterans
and military students dates back to World War I
Spring 1918- Students Army Training Corps
(SATC) was established
December 1918- Due to the Armistice, the SATC
was demobilized
It is estimated that over a thousand men received
training at Syracuse University during the brief months that SATC existed
World War II
A Commitment to Veterans
Chancellor Tolley announced the “uniform admissions program”, promising everyone entering the service that there would be places waiting for them at Syracuse when they returned.
“I realized that if a veterandidn’t go to college as soonas he came back, he’dnever have anotherchance. It was now ornever. Now was not thetime to shut the doors. Ourdoors opened wide in 1946.”
—Chancellor William Pearson Tolley
