1910s > Student Army Training Corps
Frederick J.E. Woodbridge and S.A.T.C.
Woodbridge taught philosophy at Columbia from 1902 to 1937. He was responsible for creating the "War Issues" course for Columbia's Student Army Training Corps (SATC). The success of "War Issues" led to discussions of a possible peacetime equivalent – a common course for all students addressing contemporary society's most pressing problems. The result was Contemporary Civilization, first offered in 1919.
