Military service has been a part of Furman almost from the beginning. After the founding of the school in 1826, the faculty finally approved the formation of a military company led by military trained faculty for students above the age of 16 with parental permission in March of 1856. We know that students served in the Civil War, both World Wars, and the different conflicts that have led to our current war in Iraq. (Picture: John Plyler, WWI)

Summer Camp
As a child, summer break is a time for fun and play. But for Furman ROTC students it has been a time to train and learn new skills. 
These pictures might as well be from this past summer, as this tradition has changed so little over the years.Military Women
Times change... In this photo from the 1950s three couples are enjoying the annual military ball. 
At that time these ball pictures are the only images with females, as the ROTC program was really a boys only group. Now the program has a number of women serving, and not merely women attending the ball.
