[y m m T. O any who may have lost connection with their Alma Mater for some years, the con- tents of this book may appear somewhat strange, and some few may think that the In- stitute IS failing to retain many of its time-hon- ored customs. It IS true that many changes have taken place, but the improvements of re- ' :A cent years, instead of destroying ancient tradi- tions, rather enable them to be carried on un- der more modern military, academic, and so- cial requirements. To our alumni, therefore, we present a rec- ' . A ord of progress; to our fellow cadets, a life- ' long reminder of never-to-be-forgotten days; and to strangers, a faithful, though incomplete, representation of life at Virginia ' s School of Arms. - i -t - - XK

To LIEUT.-COL. JAMES AYLOR ANDERSON Who, as a teacher, has done more than train the minds of men; who, as an of- ficer, has ever bent his energies towards the reahzation of a Greater V. M. I. ; and who, as a man, has, by his own example, influenced the characters of those men with whom he has been con- stantly associated; the Class of Nine- teen Twenty-four respectfully dedi- cates this volume of the Bomb. 1,7 '
