Look into the classrooms where a cadet must learn to absorb new ideas; where he must learn to think for himself if he is to successfully store all of the different ideas which he hears presented, and then to formulate his own. Scrutinize carefully throughout the RECALL the photographs of the faculty who are with the boys daily, guiding them not only in the classroom in aca- but also on the athletic field, at so- cial affairs, and in church. These are the men who increase the cadet’s storehouse of knowledge week by week, broadening his horizon, shaping his destiny. Check thoroughly the courses offered at Augusta.
