The General Correspondence of John A. Randall series, which is part of the National Archives, details the contributions of Atlanta University to the country's World War I efforts. During World War I, a small group of Atlanta University and Morehouse students engaged in a student army training camp, based at Atlanta University as part of a contract with the U.S. government. Atlanta University also trained over 200 soldiers in an army school for mechanics. Here, soldiers from the First Detachment of the Atlanta University Training School stand at attention during morning roll call.
