Evan Pugh, a quaker and president of what would become Penn State, was opposed to students leaving college to fight in the Civil War. Nevertheless, they went off to war. Thirty-one in all would join Union forces and at least 2 joined the confederate armies. 

Carol Reardon, George Winfree Professor of History, Penn State talks about how the college answered the emergency call for an armed militia that was placed by Andrew Curtin to defend the commonwealth from the advancing Confederate troops led by Gen. Robert E. Lee.
