Collection Overview

The Fred B.Millet World War II Letters from Students were sent from both Wesleyan and non-Wesleyan students involved in the war effort. Although the collection does not contain Millett's letters, the students' letters reveal much about the lives of the young men during the war. They were apparently written in response to Millett's "occasional personal newsletter for Wesleyan servicemen."

The collection also includes two newspapers related to the end of the war in 1945.

Collection Arrangement

Arranged alphabetically by last name of student. If a Wesleyan year of graduation was found, this is noted.
