WEST POINT GRADUATES
GET MONTHS FURLOUGH
Class Of 1917, Consisting Of 139
Men, Fourth to Finish
Ahead of Time.

When the class Of 1917 Of the West
Point Military academy graduated the
other day the 1870 members departed
for their homes on q months furlough
with every prospect Of seeing active
service inside Of q year. This L. the
seventh time since the civil war began
In 1851 that a class at West Point has
been graduated prematurely.
The social features Of the annual
June commencement were omitted and
q brief program commensurate with
the gravity Of the situation substi-
tuted. One concession which is ap-
proved by the superintendent is the
graduation ball, which was held In the
gymnasium.
The first emergency graduation was
In May. 1861, when forty-five members
of the first class were commissioned as
officers. II. A. Du Pont of Delaware
headed the class. In June Of the same
year the second class was graduated
for field service. Among its members
was George A. Custer, who was killed
at Little Big Horn.
1t was not until 1898 that another
emergency caused the premature grad
,Stion Of a class. On April 20 of that
year fifty-nine members who were to
have graduated in June were commits
stoned for service in the Spanish war.
E. n. Benchley and Clark Churchman
Of this class died at San Juan Hill,
Cuba.
The following year the seriousness
Of the Filipino Instruction led to the
graduation of the first class on Feb. Is.
On Feb. /. 1901, seventy-four cadets
were graduated to fill vacancies in the
ranks Of commissioned officers, and q
similar situation In 1908 led to the
graduation Of 10S cadets on Feb. IA.
When the class Of II entered West
Point it consisted Of 200 men. Its
number has been cut down by failures
In scholarship. designations and other
causes. The honor man is Harry Jones
Of Clayville, Oneida county, N. Y, who
stands far ahead Of his class. Among
the graduates was Luis y Savosa Rada,
a Filipino, the fourth Of his race to
graduate from the academy.
