This collection is arranged alphabetically, with the exception of the first folder in Box 1 and final three folders in Box 3, in which materials are arranged chronologically.

World War I required a draft due to not having enough volunteers in the Army. At first the draft only required men ages 21 to 30 in 1917 but by 1918 it was men ages 18 to 45. The University of Wisconsin-Madison played its part by offering students who volunteered or who were drafted school credit that could count towards their degree. Students who had proof of service (their military records) and testimony from professors could receive graduation or anywhere from 1 to 3 credits per class depending on class standing and time completed in the Service. Upon application, students were awarded graduation, semester credit, a war certificate, a war dipoloma, or some combination of these.
