This week, 83 years ago, the U.S. Army Air Corps and Moorhead State Teachers College were preparing to host the 346th Aircrew Training Detachment. As part of those preparations, Aircrew trainees faced visitor restrictions and were strongly discouraged from inviting guests to campus outside designated visiting hours or scheduled campus nights.

You can take a closer look at this memorandum and other military directives from the 346th Air Cadet Squadron Collection, or explore additional historical documents in RED, MSUM's institutional repository.
