OME time we shall come back to see the completed “New West Point” in all its grandeur;—but then it will be as members of the “good old class of nineteen-nine.” And we feel sure that we shall find the same old West Point at heart within the “more stately mansions” that are being erected. General Morris Schaff says in a letter written recently to the “Howitzer”: “Do not dream for a moment that I think the spirit of the New West Point differs at all from the old—Honor, Good Manners, the Gentleman, and all the refining qualities which live through the spiritual agencies of the little chapel they may tear it down or put it where they please— will not depart from the corps in your day or mine. They will not leave the consecrated spot until its graduates begin to turn into scheming place hunters in their country’s service, reaching for this or that promotion or station by fawning on all the powers over them: then the new will differ from the old and not until then.” — 13 —
