At the end of the first academic year

/ Grant stood y in the order of merit. At
| that time discipline was not counted, as
ii now is, in making up the class standing
but was II matter entirely outside of the

I merit \ roll of cadets was arranged
according to merit in conduct and this
roll included the entire corps, not as
