About this collection

Explore through Cadet Scrapbooks, correspondence, and various newspaper articles, the important role that PMC played during World War II.  The school first created an Accelerated Course of Study that allowed cadets to finish their coursework early in order to serve in the war, and later became one of the sites for the Army Specialized Training Programs that educated academically-talented men to become Army officers.
