Sixty-Seventh Annual Report of the Association of Graduates of The I SIXTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT of the Association of Graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York June 11, 1936 Cjrintedby The Moore Printing Company, Inc. Newburgh, N. Y. MW ........... cdll .............. J OREWORD I r1 ECOGNIZING that the "Annual" had gradually drifted into little more than a financial report and obituaries; an effort has been made to make the Annual; First, a report of the proceedings of the year's work and, Second, to feature the June Annual Meeting. The Annual needed more "Life" and less "Morgue". The intro- duction of reports of the various Class Reunions has apparently met with approval. Your attention is particularly invited to the West Point Arms, in color. The following changes in personnel of the Administrative Officers was necessary: May 2, 1935 Charles McK. Saltzman '96..............Appt'd. Committee of One to submit to Congress an Amendment re: B. S. June 25, 1935 Earl M attice '24..............................................Asst. Secy. Relieved from duty at the Academy. July 1, 1935 Thos. M. Watlington, Jr. '27............Appt'd. Asst. Secy. Sept. 24, 1935 John J. Bradley '91 ........ Appt'd Committee on Leonard L. Barrett '12 Revision of Constitu- Edmund B. Bellinger '18 tion and By-Laws. Jan. 15, 1935 Allan M. Pope '05 ............ Resigned as Chairman only Jan. 15, 1935 Frank M. Stanton '15........................Appt'd. Chairman Jan. 25, 1936 Charles D. Rhodes '89......Added to Committee on B. S. May 31, 1936 Frank M.

June 30, 1936 Frank M. Stanton '15............Resignation as Chairman of Endowment Fund Committee. ALEXANDER R. PIPER, Colonel, U. S. A., Retired. President, Association of Graduates. Graduates Marching to the Alumni Exercises at Thayer Monumnent. "No, I can't say that I've at- tened more June Weeks than any other graduate that ever lived," General Tillnman said. "You see Colonels Church, Bartlett and Mahan served be- fore the retirement law applied to Professors; maybe they have me topped. I will say that I was on active duty at the Mili- tary Academy for 421 years and that I've missed precious few June Weeks in other years. I am also the only professor that ever delivered the gradua- tion address. This was in 1911." -- - -------- ---- - I- Pershing, '86 and Tillman, '69 At the Alumni Review. Annual Report, June 11, 1936 5 Address of Major General Wm. D. Connor to the GraduatingClass and Introduction of General John J. Pershing- June 12, 1936. Ladies and gentlemen, fellow graduates and members of the Class of 1936- ] FEEL that I shall be making no material error if I estimate that probably no less than 276 husky pairs of arms were stretched this morning as each member of the graduating class congratulated himself upon the fact that at last the long grind was over and that he would be freed today. As I told you a few days ago, the real truth is that you are now losing whatever freedom you may ever have had and you are about to become bound by countless responsibilities that heretofore you did not even know existed. Today is not an end-in reality it is only a beginning but that is not a thing to dread for your graduation is the gateway that opens up the path that will lead each of you to an interesting and, I hope, a happy life. As your graduation day recedes into the distance, the ties that bind you to this institution and to one another will become stronger and stronger as the years go by, for I have noticed that the more ex- perienced a graduate becomes, the stronger is his affection for his Alma Mater, and the greater is his admiration for all that she represents. Today also opens the gateway to opportunity and while Dame For- tune does not give equal opportunity to all classes leaving West Point, she does give a chance to every man and it behooves you to prepare yourself so that when your opportunity does come you will recognize it as such and make the most of it. There was one class to which won- derful opportunities certainly did come and that was the class of 1886 which is celebrating its 50th anniversary and for which celebration 25 distinguished members have gathered here on this occasion. When that class graduated, just 50 years ago this morning, one of its most outstanding members was a young man from Missouri who, by his per- sonality and character, had forged to the front and upon graduation was First Captain of the Corps and President of his class. In the half century that has elapsed since that time, many honors have come to the members of the Class of '86 but to none of them more than have come to the young man from Missouri to whom I have just referred. To him success and honors have been granted in a very gen- erous measure but I know that he still looks back upon his graduation day and upon his cadet achievements as high spots in his career. This is true, notwithstanding the fact that he later commanded, with dis- tinction and success, the greatest Army that the Republic has ever raised and that amongst the honors I referred to are many of the most distinguished decorations from the great foreign nations of the world, and in addition thereto, the "Thanks of Congress", the greatest honor conferred by our own government. One of the highest points of his life might well have been the day of the great Victory Parade in Paris on July 14, 1919, when repre- 6 Annual Report, June 11, 1936 sentative troops of nearly all the nations of the world filed through the historic boulevards of that famous City. Representing the United States on that great occasion was what was known as the Composite Regiment, made up of a few selected men from every single regiment of his great command-the American Expeditionary Forces. It was a magnificent body of men and their technique was practically perfect. After the parade, the Commander in Chief, in his enthusiasm, asked if I had ever seen anything to equal that regiment. Honesty forced me to say that while I thought the Composite Regiment was a wonderful body of troops, I did not consider it the best organization I had ever seen. The General was not satisfied with this and when he asked me where I could find a better one, I told him, with a smile, that there was one organization which I would never admit had any equal in the world and that was the Corps of Cadets of the United States Military Academy. The General laughed and threw up his hands, saying that I was right and that no one could ever get a graduate of the Military Academy to admit that there was any body in the world that equalled it. Beginning today, you become a part of a great fraternity, known as the graduates of West Point. Its members are very jealous of its honor, its reputation and all that it represents and they will watch you closely to see if you are keeping up that high reputation of the institution. They will judge the Academy of the present day by the product that it is sending forth into the Army-that is, by you. To you much has been given and from you much will be expected. We are exceptionally fortunate today in having an opportunity to hear from the most famous living graduate of the Military Academy and the greatest living military leader of the nation who, because of his affection for the Academy and his interest in its graduates, has con- sented to speak to you and from whose hands you will receive your diplomas and commissions. I have the honor now to present you, the Class of 1936, to the First Captain of the Corps of Cadets of the Class of 1886-the Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary forces and the General of the Armies of the United States-GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING. Annual Report, June 11, 1936 7 Address of General John J. Pershing to the Graduating Class of 1936 June 12, 1936. General Connor, members of the Academic Board, distinguished guests, members of the Corps of Cadets, ladies and gentlemen: I LHAVE had a great many thrills witnessing well trained' and well drilled troops and Cadets, including the famous regiment of which General Connor just boasted, and whatever I may have said the day we marched down Champs-Elyees; through the Arch de Triumph-I have never yet seen a more thrilling or more moving one than I saw yesterday as the Corps of Cadets marched by as I took the review. It is a pleasure for me to be here exactly a half century after my own graduation and have the opportunity of saying a few words to the graduating class and the friends of the academy. It is an import- ant occasion, especially for you young gentlemen who have finished your four years and are leaving cadet days behind. Your real work will soon begin and will continue as long as you remain on the active list. Upon entering the army your lives are consecrated to the service of your country as truly as the life of the young man taking his vows is consecrated to the service of the church. I am fully aware that a long address this morning would not be very popular.

    TASKER H. BLISS AND THE CREATION OF THE MODERN AMERICAN ARMY, 1853-1930 _________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Thomas R. English December 2014 Examining Committee Members: Richard Immerman, Advisory Chair, Temple University, Department of History Gregory J. W. Urwin, Temple University, Department of History Jay Lockenour, Temple University, Department of History Daniel W. Crofts, External Member,The College of New Jersey, Department of History, Emeritus ii © Copyright 2014 By Thomas R. English All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT A commonplace observation among historians describes one or another historical period as a time of “transition” or a particular person as a “transitional figure.” In the history of the United States Army, scholars apply those terms especially to the late- nineteenth century “Old Army.” This categorization has helped create a shelf of biographies of some of the transitional figures of the era. Leonard Wood, John J. Pershing, Robert Lee Bullard, William Harding Carter, Henry Tureman Allen, Nelson Appleton Miles and John McCallister Schofield have all been the subject of excellent scholarly works. Tasker Howard Bliss has remained among the missing in that group, in spite of the important activities that marked his career and the wealth of source materials he left behind. Bliss belongs on that list because, like the others, his career demonstrates the changing nature of the U.S. Army between 1871 and 1917. Bliss served for the most part in administrative positions in the United States and in the American overseas empire.

  • Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945
    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

  • Recollections of California, 1846-1861. by General William T
    Recollections of California, 1846-1861. By General William T. Sherman; foreword by Joseph A. Sullivan Recollections of CALIFORNIA 1846-1861 GENERAL WILLIAM T. SHERMAN FOREWORD BY JOSEPH A. SULLIVAN Biobooks OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA. NINETEEN HUNDRED & FORTY-FIVE COPYRIGHT, 1945, BY JOSEPH A. SULLIVAN Foreword GENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN was born in Ohio, son of Judge Charles R. Sherman, the latter of old New England ancestry. Sherman's father died while he was a small boy, and he was adopted by Senator Thomas Ewing, through whose influence he was in due course appointed to West Point, graduating sixth in his class. His story as pioneer soldier, banker, lawyer and school superintendent is here presented unedited from the first Appleton printing of his “Memoirs.” Recollections of California, 1846-1861. By General William T. Sherman; foreword by Joseph A. Sullivan http://www.loc.gov/resource/ calbk.085 Through the courtesy of the National Archives, Records of the War Department, we are able to reproduce here for the first printing, two letters of Lieutenant Sherman dated at Monterey, also from the same source a facsimile of the original map of the California gold region drawn by Sherman and bearing his initials. This map accompanied Colonel R. B. Mason's military governor's report, reaching Washington in December, 1848. Together they were the basis for President Polk's announcement of the California gold discovery, inaugurating the Gold Rush of 1849. In preliminary discussion for printing this Number Three of the California Centennials, typographer Ben Kennedy remarked, “I read the copy. It is good reading.” Ben, it is likely, did not know he was echoing the statements of a great American authority on writing.

Tanner, Chair of the Department of History David Holdeman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Andersen, Jack D. Service Honest and Faithful: The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War, 1899-1901. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2017, 269 pp., bibliography, 72 primary resources, 97 secondary resources. This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War.

    Postal Regulatory Commission Submitted 5/29/2008 11:46:31 Filing ID: 60012 Accepted 5/21/2008 May 21, 2008 Good afternoon. I appreciate the invitation to be with you all, here in Flagstaff today, and to offer what I hope may be food for thought – and more – regarding the present re-consideration of the notions of Universal Service, the Universal Service Obligation , and the Postal Monopoly, and to join in on the discussion of these important topics. I am here as the owner and publisher of The Flute Network. We are a small entirely volunteer entity now closing in on the end of our 24 th year of service as a “bulletin board service” for flutists, flute teachers, and the people who love these kinds of folks. In addition to a website presence (which has become absolutely requisite in recent years for businesses of all kinds), we continue to organize and publish an adletter of typically 8 – 12 pages, which goes out free of charge 9 times a year, now to some 6,100 different subscribers nationwide. It is on behalf of our subscribers, and all those whom we serve by including their notices, that we’ve been tracking the flow of Flute Network mailings over the years. As with most such things, the timely receipt of our mailings is a large part of what keeps them valuable – for example, it does no good to learn of a concert or other event that one might have wanted to attend, two weeks after it happened. What is frustrating is when this kind of thing happens and those notices had actually been mailed three weeks before those events, and by the Post Office’s own standards should have been received by all in plenty of time.
