Purple and Gold and Air Force Blue Unite in History
The Purple and Gold of CSCE, joined by Air Force Blue, recall wartime ties from 1942 when Colorado State College of Education trained 4,111 men for the Army Air Forces Technical Training command over a year and four days starting November 16, 1942. The Army Air Corps era and marching songs framed those days amid global turmoil.
