Of all the men on campus, Colonel William Cur- rier Atkinson undoubtedly stands out the most. A man of wisdom, honor, and esteem, the Colonel has served the Academy for forty one years. As a teacher, Commandant of Cadets, and President of the Academy, he has had the opportunity of working with young men. He therefore knows the problems and frustrations of boys and is able to handle any situation. His ability and willingness to help anyone in need has made him the man that he is. His moral code is that of General Douglas MacArthur: Duty, Honor, and Country. As President of the Academy, his duties are in- numerable, and yet he performs them all with the greatest of efficiency. One of his greatest ambi- tions is to impress on all cadets the value of honor. Many is the time that he speaks of integrity in his Chapel services. He tries to instill in all cadets a sense of manliness, so that when they leave the Academy they will become useful citizens of their nation. Colonel Atkinson has a gratifying effect on all who come in contact with him. His ability to speak and his sincerity in what he says has gained him the respect of cadets and parents alike. The Class of 1965 is particularly close to the Colo- nel. It is because of his influence that many of the goals of the Senior Class have been accomplished. He will live in the hearts of the Senior Class for- ever. PRESIDE T ATKI SON COMPLETES FORTY FIRST YEAR OF SERVICE WITH THE ACADEMY
