This photograph shows a football scrimmage on the University of Alaska campus, outside of Hess Hall around 1950. Many servicemen joined the ranks of college students after World War II. This football field was outside the dorm called the Vets' dorm. Both the Vets' Dorm and Hess Hall were eventually torn down, making way for Wickersham Hall and other building in the area. — Caroline Atuk-Derrick, University of Alaska Fairbanks archives assistant
