Abstract
Arrangement Note
Collection Historical Note
The idea of the Women Veterans Historical Collection grew out of talks with Woman's College alumnae of the Class of 1950. The women veterans of World War II made a great impact on their classmates at the Woman's College, as well as on their military organizations, their families, and their friends.
