About Massachusetts State College–Fort Devens

According to Wikipedia, Massachusetts State College–Fort Devens was a public university located in Ayer, Massachusetts, United States. History After the end of World War II, the G.I. Bill helped swell the ranks of colleges in Massachusetts. As a result, Fort Devens, which had served as a mustering ground and internment camp during the war, was converted into a college by the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees in 1946. The school was only open to veterans of the war who were Massachusetts residents. The campus was placed under the supervision of Massachusetts State College–Amherst.
