Did you know the Dartmouth community has been involved in every one of America’s major military engagements as far back as the Revolutionary War? For centuries, members of The College have carried on a storied tradition of valiant wartime service to the United States. Individuals have been stationed all around the globe and involved in every branch of the military. On a more local level, Dartmouth oversaw the creation of student military societies, facilitated the training of soldiers on campus, sponsored military support services, and allowed students to put their college years on pause to enlist. When Dartmouth’s ROTC sponsorship was formally eliminated in 1973, The College continued to assist the war effort in a new way: by welcoming veterans to campus as students. They brought a wealth of experience and diversity with them. To learn more about Dartmouth’s “Fighting Tradition,” come check out our newest exhibit located in Rauner Library’s Class of 1965 Galleries (on the mezzanine level). The exhibit was curated by Ryan Irving '24, current president of the Student Veterans Association, and will be on display from September 19, 2022, until December 3, 2022. #dartmouth #dartmouthcollege #dartmouthlibrary #rauner #specialcollections #library #archives #research #studentveterans #veterans
