While many institutions of higher education made great sacrifices during the Civil War; few can boast of the dedication and effort made by the University of Notre Dame. For four years; Notre Dame gave freely of its faculty and students as soldiers; sent its Holy Cross priests to the camps and battlefields as chaplains and dispatched its sisters to the hospitals as nurses. Though far from the battlefields; the war was ever-present on campus; as Notre Dame witnessed fisticuffs among the student body; provided a home to the children of a famous general; responded to political harassment and tried to keep at least some of its community from the fray. At war's end; a proud Notre Dame welcomed back several bona fide war heroes and became home to a unique veterans' organization.
