Veteran's Day- How PSU Helped The War Effort
Thank you to all Alpha Zetan's who have served, as we take a look back on how Penn State assisted the war effort in 1918.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Grenade throwing, bayonet practice and trench construction were all very much a part of life on Penn State's University Park campus 100 years ago. While a military component had always been a part of the University’s curriculum, World War I brought about a military presence the likes of which the campus had never seen. Protecting our nation was a compelling ideal for many Americans.
