m axtmovh UR desire has been to preserve the record of a necessarily transitory era in the history of the Institute in the pages following. The first class to enter V. M. I. upon the close of the World War, Nineteen Twenty-Three has ever striven to hold high the soldierly qualities of honor, loyalty, and courageous performance of duty. In so doing ■ ve have been actuated by the example of those famous Americans, Washington, Lee, and Jackson, whose undying memory has ever been an inspiration to the wearers of the grey. Eighty-four years of constant service to State and Nation have enhanced the reputation of the Virginia Military Institute in walks of life both civil and military, and the future holds in store jears of increased activity and achieve- ment, when the Greater V. M. I. shall have come to pass. We who comprise the Corps today have throughout done our best to hold by the past and make greater the future. If these our aims have been accom- plished, we ask no recognition other than to have it said: We have fought a good fight, we have finished our course, we have kept the faith. f JMaJ ,. :i!||] ; : 1 1 1 I , MJ ffhif iJ ,..L
