West Point Cadets & Culver Cadets at Capitol (LOC)

  • cotinis said:
    The caption, somewhat legible, on several of these photos, says "3/4/13", corresponding to the first inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, March 4, 1913, as noted, for instance, in this source and also the date is noted by the Library of Congress.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thank you for the information about the date and the event. We will fix the information in the source data and reload the description.

Graduation Day, West Point (LOC)

  • Seuss. said:
    In 1908 West Point held it's graduation/commissioning on February 14 rather than in May because the Army was short on officers. This is Cullum Memorial Hall where the ceremonies were held.

  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks Seuss., it doesn't look like it's changed much. We'll update the catalog record.

    It also helps with the location. From page 69:
    Classrooms and Summer Camps
    To become a successful officer a cadet must be
    familiar with tactics and techniques of the combat
    arms, and he must be strong in body and hardy in
    spirit. So he spends many hours during the summer
    at Camp Buckner, in the hills back of West Point,
    firing all the weapons, bivouacking in the open, and
    just plain marching like any other dogface (infan¬
    tryman). Every year sees two classes in summer
    camp: the new First and Third. While they are
    there, the Plebes who have just arrived at the Acad¬
    emy are given over to the careful supervision of
    “New Cadet Details” of First Classmen, and the
    new Second Class goes on a field trip to other
    installations.
