These figures tell the whole story and refute very
emphatically the charge that but the sonof the
wealthy are allowed to be educated in the Academy.
1t may be mentioned here as pertinent to this sub
ject that there appears to be remarkable absence of
all social distinction among the cadets So long as
q young man Is member Of the CORDS, the student
whose father can boast Of his thousands and he
whose father works for his maintenance as q day
abOrer stands equal terms In every respect There
is nothing in fact, that the cadet despises 80
much as he does any comrade putting on an air that
would be interpreted to mean that he was better in
this worlds goods than one of his fellows. Indeed
the same feeling prevails in regard to the 'promi-
nent positions" which cadets 'paternal reiativen
may hold. AZ a striking instance this could be
strongly illustrated by the mere mention OF how,
not long ago. the son OF q prominent man entered
the Academy, and not beng du ydu as to the feel
ing Of the corps in the NATTER took It upon himself
to remind them in many ways who he was and what
his governor was. The consequences ended dis
astrousy to the new conner In short time, and he
soon became 80 democratic as to understand that he
was not q bit better than anybody else.
