| Description | Interior of the Washington University's Francis Gymnasium which was used as sleeping quarters for the men in the Students' Army Training Corps (SATC). During the war, Washington University's campus life drastically changed. With men joining the military, a smaller mostly female student body existed. They staffed Red Cross Units and produced dressings. War-related courses were offered such as radio communications, machine shop training, and blacksmithing. In 1918 the arrival of men in the Students' Army Training Corps turned Washington University into a training ground with every building on campus used for government purposes. |
