Middlebury Kaleidoscope 1919-1920
The Middlebury Kaleidoscope has, throughout the years, served as the College's yearbook. In its early years, the Kaleidoscope
not only chronicled student life through photographs, it presented the year's important events in a journalistic manner.


	Following the United States' entry into the Great War, Middlebury students and faculty formed The War Service Committee. The committee served the purpose of keeping those related to Middlebury serving in the war informed as to the currents events of the college.
This section of the Kaleidoscope explained the spirit that the college rallied around in sending its men to war. Overall, the college believed in a great ideal and that its men died valiantly in striving to achieve it.
	As American involvement became eminent, Middlebury College felt obligated to assist in preparing the United States for war. In preparation, the College established the Middlebury College Cadet Corps, headed by two Norwich University officers.
This section of the Kaleidoscope listed all of the current students and alumni of Middlebury who devoted their service to the war.
