"In April 1918, the National Army Training Detachments program was established at 157 colleges, universities, and trade schools under contract with the War Department. The program was designed to train draftees in a variety of trades needed for the war effort, and was jointly administered by the military and the university... At the beginning of the fall semester, 524 institutions enrolled about 140,000 men into SATC [Student Army Training Corps] units. At that time, the National Army Training Detachments were absorbed into SATC as Section B vocationals... The Armistice interrupted the work of the SATC shortly after it began. After some debate over whether or not it should be continued, the SATC was demobilized on December 19, 1918. Within six months, the work of demobilization and fulfilling contracts between the government and the schools was completed." -- Guide to the Records of the Student Army Training Corps. http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/archives/satc_content.html (Retrieved
