 Collection
Identifier: GTM-GAMMS 011

Collection-level Scope and Content Note

Approximately 500 transcribed letters received by Rev. Richard C. Law, S.J. and other faculty at Georgetown University during World War II from alumni and other former students on active duty with the armed services. In general, the letters largely gossip about other alums (from letters and meetings), some providing glimpses of training, combat, or cultural experiences in North Africa, Europe, or China. Most of the information in these letters is found in digest form in the Discipline Office Newsletter, included in the collection.
