the presidential inaugurations in 1913 and 1914, the Black Horse Troop, the personal escort of Vice-President Marshall, established firmly its enviable reputation. Then came the world war. Culver men — alumni, faculty and cadets — flocked to the colors. Thirteen hundred alumni and students, together with half a hundred of the faculty, participated in the gigantic struggle. Culver ' s service flag, with its fifty- five gold stars, is a mute testimony to the fact that this school teaches men to live and die for their country. With the signing of the armistice came the return of General (then Colonel) Gig- nilliat and other officers on whom the institution greatly depended. A new era of activity ensued.

The Black Horse Troop and the Culver Battery were organized as sepa- rate units. Culver, ever in the vanguard, established an aviation school. The Culver Legion, always guarding the interests of the cadets, founded the Cadet Club of the Culver Legion from the remains of the old Service Club. In 1921, the school was honored by the visit of General Payot. On December 9 of the same year, Colonel L. R. Gignilliat was promoted to the rank of brigadier- general. This was a fitting recognition of the superintendent ' s great work in the training and education of boys. In 1922, this school was visited by General Pershing.
