Truman Ransom graduated with the Norwich University class of 1825. He served as president from 1845 to 1847 at which time he enlisted in the 9th U.S. Regulars to perform service in the Mexican War. A lieutenant colonel by April 1847, Truman Ransom was killed at the Battle of Chapultepec on 13 September 1847.

Three of Truman Ransom’s children attended Norwich: Dunbar, Thomas, and Frederick.
