Abstract

In this piece, Edward Tabor follows Harvard's Class of 1937 through the upheavals and changes brought about by the Second World War. He follows individuals and the class as a whole as they faced wartime changes on campus, military duty assignments, battles, or civilian life during war.  We learn about the distribution of Class of 1937 members in the various branches of the armed services, as well as those  members who were killed, wounded, or captured in wartime service.
