Message from the Vice Chancellor
Enduring Commitment
Following the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, Chancellor William P. Tolley issued a bold offer to retuning World War II veterans: apply to Syracuse University and you will be admitted. In what became known as the G.I. Bulge, the community struggled to provide living and classroom space.

Army ROTC
Colonel Sidney Mashbir, first ROTC commander at Syracuse Univesity
Syracuse University’s Army ROTC Stalwart Battalion traces its lineage to the Students Army Training Corps. The U.S. War Department reorganized the SATC into the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) in 1919 and established a permanent military department at Syracuse University that year.
Colonel Sidney F. Mashbir, the first ROTC commander at Syracuse University, wrote “it should be the aim of Syracuse University to maintain one or more units of the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) in order that in time of national emergency there may be a sufficient number of educated men, trained in Military Science and Tactics, to officer and lead intelligently the units of the large armies upon which the safety of the country will depend.”
