Since its inception in May 2000, the annual event has grown in size and scope each succeeding year, allowing all cadets to display their culminating projects. While cadets from each class can present projects, this is the seniors’ opportunity to show off everything they’ve learned throughout their four years at West Point. “As a firstie, this means a lot, we’ve worked on this project all year and to be done, this is the culminating event for this class, so it’s kind of a big deal to see all your hard work pay off,” Class of 2017 Cadet Orion Boylston, said. Boylston, an Electrical Engineering major branching Cyber, and his peers were on Team Red Hawk. “Our project looks at trying to find a push to talk radio in the field,” he said. “It uses a technology called Pseudo-Doppler to locate the angle of arrival of a walkie-talkie and then using those angles of arrival, it’s sent to a central node which calculates a heat map which is displayed for a graphical user interface for a Soldier to look at where the enemy likely is.” In addition to creating an in-depth capstone, Projects Day also allows cadets to work with others, regardless of their educational discipline.

  • 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.

She was a simple individual, yet complex in the ways that each of us can be. She had her moments of fury, and they were frequent. She had her moments of superlative kindness, though they were few. Age, and agony, had done this to her. In her younger days, when she lived west, in the hills of Pennsylvania, where the land curved and leaped and rolled, she had been a beauty, chestnut hair grazing her hips and flowing like the stream behind the cabin she shared with her kin, near the town of Chambersburg. Glimmering emerald eyes bestowed on her by her Scotch and Irish forebears. Plump lips a rapturous red.
