The West Point Cadet Corps will pay tribute to the memory of John Wingate Weeks, former Secretary of War, by marching over the Weeks bridge on its way to the Stadium Saturday.
Weeks, strangely enough, was a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, an institution with which the West Point athletic authorities are now at odds. However, this will not prevent the Corps as a body from honoring the memory of a former secretary of war.
Weeks started his political career in Newton, being an alderman, in that city from 1900 to 1902. He was mayor for the next two years, and chairman of the Republican state convention in 1905.
