Yes, The Institute has under- gone a continual metamorphosis of modernization, and the cadet ' s daily life has paralleled this evolution and, consequently, is much softer than it used to be. However, the Old Corps has not vanished; it w never fade. ' MI ' s old landmarks may disappear with the passing of time, but the esprit de corps which led the cadets valiantly into the terrifying mouths of the Federal cannon at the Battle of New Market is sti present today and will always exist; for it is an in- destructible spirit which is unconsciously handed over from one corps to the next.
