As a four year letterman at quarterback during the early 1940's, Milton Raville led the Norwich University football team during some of its finest seasons. Milton was a member of two Vermont state championship teams which outscored Middlebury and the University of Vermont by combined scores of 163-0  during the 1940 and 1941 seasons. Milton was elected co-captain for the 1943 season and led the Cadets to a 5-2 record. Norwich football teams posted an overall record of 23-7-1 in his four seasons as the starting quarterback. 
A fine student with an outstanding academic record, Milton made the dean's list in each of his four years and received his bachelor degree in civil engineering. While at Norwich, he served as treasurer Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity and president of Epsilon Tau Sigma. He also played basketball for two years and was a member of the skull and swords. AS a senior he served as 2nd Lieutenant in the Corps of Cadets.
Following his graduation, Milton entered the United States Army where he served three years in active duty and seven years as a reserve earning the rank of Captain. He was awarded several medals of honor including the Euriopean-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal. 
Upon leaving the army in 1946, Milton began work on a master's degree in applied mechanics at Kansas State University. He finished work on that degree a year later and stayed on as a faculty member at Kansas State. In 1955, Milton completed work on a Ph.D. in mechanics at the University Wisconsin.
