Didn't the "ole miss" brigade (company, whatever it was called) all perish in the war?
Yes. All but four students enlisted in the Confederate army. The vast majority of the students ( and a few professors)formed the University Greys. They suffered 100% casualties at Picketts Charge at Gettysburg when they advanced further into Union territory than any other Confederate regiment in the entire war. There is a statue/memorial to them at Gettsyburg and a stained glass window created by Tiffany in Ventress Hall (the first library ) on campus. Some of these dumbass kids were bitching about the "monument to the University Greys" when I corrected them that the monument didn't have one thing to do with them. These people are so woefully ignorant of history they didn't even know or understand the origins or to whom it was erected.
