THE BOMF A Major General Jolim A, Lejeuee Major General John A. Lejeune, retired, I ' nited States Marine Corps, is the fifth Superin- tendent of the Virginia Military Institute, having assumed that post upon retirement from the Marine Corps in 1929. General Lejeune was born January 10, 1876, in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. He attended preparatory school and two years of college at the Louisiana State LTniversity. He then entered the United States Naval Academy from which institution he graduated in 1888. After spending the two years immediately following his graduation as a Naval Cadet on active sea duty, he re- ceived a Commission as Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. From there he rose to the peak in that branch of the Service, the Major CJeneral Commandant of the Marine Corps. General Lejeune has led both a colorful and adventurous life. He became commander of the famous Second Division during the World War. The Second Division was the Marine Division that participated in the famous battles of Chateau Theirry and Bellau Wood. Upon the termination of the World War (ieneral Lejeune spent seven months with the Army of Oc- cupation. He was recalled to fill the post of Major General Commandant of the NLirine Corps, and he held this office for almost nine years until his retirement in 1929. I ' pon assuming the post of Superintendent of the Institute, General Lejeune impressed the Corps of Cadets as a man who, although hard-boiled, was fair and just. The years which we have spent under his leadership have pro ed that impression, and he has become indelibly stamped upon the hearts of the Corps. We, of the graduating class, feel that we have much to be thankful for in having had the opportunity to be associated with such a fine character. It Is with sincere gratitude for his help and admiration for his character that we leave the Institute, and we will carry with us the re- mainder of our lives the memory of our t vo ears sojourn under his excellent leadership.
