LETTERS HOME...

The Bluffton University Archives contains scores of letters between President S.K. Mosiman and other college personnel and Bluffton men in wartime service.  Whether draftees or enlisted, in military or non-combatant roles, Bluffton remained a source of strength, support, and fond memories for the men who hoped to return to its halls.
