AN IMPORTANT CIVIL WAR SITE
The history of this university includes both sides of the Civil War. In April 1864 a battalion of 6,000 federal troops camped on the college's grounds. The squad was headed to Virginia to reinforce the ranks. A few months later, about 400 Confederate soldiers spent the night on their way to take part in a battle near Washington, DC.
HOMECOMING DETAILS
