V. NJ. /. ANNEX TO WEST POINT.
Members OF the Norfolk Alumni OF tho
Virginia Military Institute are very much
Interested just now in the we'll authentl-
Gated report which Is current to tho effect
that Uncle Sam is going to make their old
alma mater q part OF his big military es-
Establishments and take tho boys directly
from the famous Virginia school Into the
United states army. as commissioned OIL
GERS.
It Is remarkable to note what an In
terest the old V. NJ. T. boys still feel in
that institution, and nothing that has been
learned OF 1t in recent years has afforded
them more pleasure that this compliment
which Uncle Sam Is said to be arranging
To pay 1t by adopting It as an Annex OF his
great war school at West Point.
II has been customary for the general
government to send n lieutenant TO tho
Virginia Military Institute at each COM
mencement p note the standing OF tins
corps of cadets. but this year a major was
sent, which departure LIS said to have to
do with the project TO annex the school TO
West Point. and the result OF his inspec-
tion Is said to have been very flatterlng TO
the Lexington institute.
II is understood from good authority
that he found tho " NJ. I. tho equal OF
West Point In everything except ,cava!-
~ corps, that branch OF tho service not
being represented In the Virginia school.
and that he found the engineering corps
at Lexington ahead OF that at West Point.
The purpose OF the general government
is said to be to subsidizc the v. NJ ]. with
100000 annually, build commodious bar
racks there, and have a cavalry corps
added. Then from year TO year Uncle
boys from the v. NJ. !. graduating class
directly into the United States army as
commissioned officers.
