Student Army Training Corps (S.A.T.C): Records, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
Contains all material and records of the Student Army Training Corps of 1918-1919. According to "Bowdoin in the World War," the S.A.T.C. was an idea of the United States Government in which all college students were enlisted into the United States Army. The men were under military discipline at all times and provided proper military attire and paid as privates in the U.S. Army. With the armistice on November 11, 1918, the government no longer had any use for the S.A.T.C., therefore the entire unit was demobilized by the end of December. There is correspondence of the Student Army Training Corps from September 1918 to January 25, 1919. Correspondence mostly deals with the letters of first lieutenant William Hawley Wright who was in charge of the Bowdoin S.A.T.C. as well as being a professor at the College. The bulk of the letters are to or from Wright to the men of the Bowdoin S.A.T.C. or to other military officers discussing S.A.T.C. issues. Also included are some administrative papers as well as some clippings related to the Bowdoin S.A.T.C.
