States could raise armies to send to fight in the Civil War. Colleges could not. Did college teachers and students go to war? Yes, but in state regiments, not college regiments.

Graduates of many, many colleges fought in the Civil War. Nearly all college graduates were officers. The Army college, West Point, is best known. Students from the Citadel Military Academy in Charleston, South Carolina, may have been the first to fire on Fort Sumter.
