Gettysburg

A report highlights military Bibles carried by American service members from the Civil War battlefield of Gettysburg to Antarctica, showing handwritten prayers and inscriptions left by families who sent loved ones to war. The artifacts offer a personal window into faith, sacrifice and separation across generations of American military history, and are drawing attention for their emotional and historical weight.

Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania has announced the addition of three women's varsity sports, expanding its athletics program and creating new opportunities for female student-athletes. The move increases varsity offerings and likely strengthens the college's compliance with gender equity requirements in college athletics. Details on which sports and when they launch were not included in the announcement.
