The forbearing use of power does not only form a touchstone, but the manner in which an individual enjoys certain advantages over others is a test of a true gentleman. The power which the strong have over the weak, the employer over the employed, the educated over the unlettered, the experienced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly — the forbearing or inoffensive use of all this power or authority, or a total abstinence from it when the case admits it, will show the gentleman in a plain light. The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He can not only forgive, he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which impart sufficient strength to let the past be but the past. A true gentleman feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others. Robert Edward Lee Let us follow his example . . . PROLOGUE 17

One can never truly understand VMI without an under- standing of her heritage. From within Virginia sprang the traditions and leaders that first forged the South and then this great nation. Today, as always, we here at VMI pride ourselves in being her finest son. A blood strained battle- field serves as a reminder of our dedic ation. For VMI stands today a bastion of tradition, tradition passed to us from our forefathers in gray. A tradition that places the highest prior- ity, not on racism or hatred, but on virtue, honor and the code of a gentleman. Silent now the cannons stand, yet we here at VMI remember their thunderous roar and salute the heritage that we so humbly inherit: the heritage of the South. The song is no longer played at VMI, the flag is no longer flown, the thought is suppressed by those above, yet we, the cadets and sons of our forefathers, remember. And through our remembrance we keep alive the virtues and noble principles of our land — the land of Dixie. J.G. n 1 1 1 I II i ir f! II II 11!
