Gzt Quartermaster THE ACADEMIC SYSTEM The academic system of the Virginia Military Institute boasts of features found at few other colleges in the country. One of the primary advantages of this system is that cadets are divided into small sections which afford personal instruction and contact. This system fosters better relations between the instructor and the cadet and adds to the personal incentive of the cadet. The system functions on a semester basis of grading, with examinations being given twice a year. Daily recitations are usually reguired in each subject, thus necessitating continuous interest and work on the part of the cadet. V. M. I., although a military college, does not educate its students primarily for an army career. There are five curricula offered — Liberal Arts, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, and Pre-Medical. Any one of these, combined with the reguired Military Science courses, prepares the student for a civilian as well as a service career and also meets the reguirements for entrance into gradu- ate work. It has been said that the most coveted possession of the V. M. I. graduate is his diploma from the Insh- tute. This is true for it represents four years of hard work in an educational environment bettered by no other college. 3© 24 3
