Old Cadet Describes Hectic Routine of Daily Life at U.S. Military Academy

Unlike many colleges and universities, a man to be eligible for a Corps Squad must be proficient in every subject, not only during the previous semester, but also from week to week during the season of the sport.

Dinner is at six-fifteen, the battalions forming and marching to the mess hall as for breakfast and luncheon. Call to Quarters sounds at seven-fifteen.

"Fades the light

And afar

Cometh night.

And a star

Leadeth all

To their rest."

Taps! Lights out! The day is over.
