 Shown above is a sculpture entitled “The Last Full Mea- sure.” This sculpture lists all the Cadets killed in action during World War II, as well as those classified as “report- ed missing.” The sculpture is located in Delano Hall, hid- den behind the painting of the S.S. America. The history of the Academy is displayed in almost every building on the ground. The War Memorial, the Vine Arbors, and many other points of interest are well known. There are, however, some Academy artifacts that have not been seen by anyone for years . . . z t -r »-v 8
