GRADUATES--CLASSES THAT DID NOT GRADUATE
From Knob Knowledge
1853

1866-1885 Federal troops occupied The Citadel.
1898 Most of the class of 1898 were expelled before they could graduate, but five actually did graduate. (Source: "Class That Did Not Graduate," Shako, May 1966, Graduation issue)
1944 Only two cadets graduated because of World War II. The others were all inducted into the armed forces. This may have been the only college in the United States where almost the entire student body was drafted. The campus was then turned over to the army as a base.
