On September 1, 1932 the total cash and securities on hand in the Endowment Fund amounted to $60,912.85. The trustees of this fund have carefully invested these moneys and the fund has provided a small but steady income which has not diminished, even though securities have in general suffered severely during this period. All members of the Association owe a debt of gratitude to the trustees for their wise administration of this fund. When conditions improve, it is to be hoped that this fund can readily be raised to $100,000. All graduates and ex-cadets who can possibly do so, are encour- aged to set aside a sum in their wills either for the Endowment or the Memorial Hall Funds. Eventually a new assembly hall must be built and we should be prepared to make it a memorial to the graduates. Cullum Hall is completely filled and there is no room for memorials to World War Veterans. A list of the trustees of the two funds will be found on page 23. During the past year three Circular Letters were distributed in an effort to keep all members of the Association informed concerning the changing conditions at the Military Academy. The Secretary will welcome constructive criticisms and suggestions concerning these letters. The distribution of the new volume of Cullum's Register was com- pleted during the past year. The income from the sale of this volume slightly exceeded the cost of printing. For three years the Association has had the services of an active officer to whom have been assigned the duties formerly carried by the late Colonel Wirt Robinson as the officer in charge of Cullum's Reg- ister, of the Treasurer, so faithfully executed by Colonel Charles P. Echols for a period of twenty-nine years and of Secretary carried by Colonel Roger G. Alexander for a period of ten years. A shortage of personnel has made it necessary to assign the officer now fulfilling all of the above duties to additional work as a full time instructor in one of the departments. It is understood that this is a temporary condition. Near the! end of this Report there is an alphabetical "Index To Obituaries." This is an index to all obituaries ever published by the Association of Graduates and covers a period of 62 years. It should be most useful in any reference work which concerns the life and ac- complishments of Academy graduates. Attention is especially called to the resolutions adopted at the last Annual Meeting concerning Major General Wm. R. Smith, former Superintendent, U. S. M. A., Colonel Charles P. Echols, former Treas- urer, Association of Graduates and Captain Wm. H. Donaldson, present Secretary and Treasurer of the Association. PALMER E. PIERCE, '91, President. Annual Report, June 9, 1932 11 Report of the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Association of Graduates Held at West Point, New York, June 9, 1932 1. The meeting was called to order at 2:20 P. M. by the President of the Association. 2. Prayer by Chaplain Kinsolving of the U. S. Military Academy. 3. Upon motion, duly passed, the calling of the roll was dispensed with. 4. In his address to the Association, the President, Palmer E. Pierce, '91, stated that the distribution of Circular Letters had been adopted in the nature of an experiment and in an effort to keep the Alumni in touch with their Alma Mater. The President informed the meeting that 238 out of a total of 262 of the graduating class, as well as 28 other graduates and ex-cadets, a total of 266, had joined the Association during the past year. Letters had been sent to all non-members inviting them to join the Association. The President pointed out that the distribution of the new volume of Cullum's Register had been completed during the year and that he wished to express to General Smith the appreciation of the Asso- ciation for making possible the publication of the new volume by securing the services of an officer on the active list for the combined duties of Officer in Charge of Cullum's Register and Secretary and Treasurer of the Association of Graduates. 5. The Report of the Treasurer was then read and approved, sub- ject to audit. (Appendix 1.) 6. The Report of the Secretary was then read and approved. (Appendix 2.) 7. The President reviewed the status of the Endowment Fund, spoke of the fact that although the market value of the securities had shrunken from about $61,000.00 to about $44,000.00 no default of interest had accrued and he felt little concern as to these investments. He expressed appreciation of the work of Avery D. Andrews, '86, former President of the Association especially in connection with the raising of the fund. 8. A telegram from Mr. Joseph B. Strauss, Chief Engineer of Golden Gate Bridge, welcoming the class of 1932 into the service of the nation, was read by the Secretary. It was moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the Secretary should make a proper acknowl- edgment to Mr. Strauss. 12 Annual Report, June 9, 1932 9. Palmer E. Pierce, '91, reporting for the Memorial Hall Com- mittee, stated that his committee had been inactive during the year. It was moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the committee be continued. 10. William R. Smith, '92, former Superintendent, pointed out that a new console for the chapel organ was needed, due to the con- siderable increase in the number of stops, as well as changes incidental to modernization. It was moved, seconded and unanimously approved that the President appoint a committee to look into the need for a new console and report to the Board of Trustees whether it was advisable for the Association to take steps to provide the funds, and if so, the steps that should be taken. The President subsequently appointed the following committee-Chairman: Major General Wm. R. Smith, members: Lieutenant Colonel Chauncey L. Fenton and Captain Wm. H. Donaldson. Arthur P. S. Hyde, '00, suggested that by a system of mirrors, it would be possible to place the console in a less conspicuous position and yet enable the choirmaster to see every member of the choir. 11. Samuel B. Arnold, '92, spoke of the destruction of Mt. Taurus by a gravel company and moved that the President be requested to appoint a committee to see what, if anything, could be done to prevent it. The motion was seconded and carried. The President sub- sequently appointed the following committee-Chairman: Major General William N. Haskell, members: Colonel Samuel B. Arnold and Lieutenant Colonel Charles D. Hartman. 12. The President then spoke of the noteworthy accomplishments of the former Superintendent, William R. Smith, '92. The following resolution pertaining to the services of Major General Wm. R. Smith as Superintendent of the Military Academy, was moved by J. J. Morrow, '91, seconded and unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, The term of service as Superintendent of the Military Academy of Major General William R. Smith, Re- tired, which commenced February 26, 1928 has ended-and whereas, his administration was marked by many notable achievements, to wit: (a) Maintaining scholarship standards, discipline and customs of the Academy in accordance with the ideals and standards of West Point and (b) Securing authority to purchase some 15,000 acres of additional land, much needed, and in fact indispensable for the efficient operation of the Military Academy and Annual Report, June 9, 1932 13 Annual Report, June 9, 1932 13 (c) Building of polo field, hockey rink, commissioned and enlisted men's quarters, new cadet barracks, general re- ception hall and the general improvement of the roads, water system, Cullum Hall and other buildings, including the modernization of the post power plant and (d) Supporting the activities of the Association of Grad- uates so heartily that its organization has been perfected and its efficiency greatly increased- Therefore, be it Resolved, That there be adopted by the Association of Graduates and spread on its records, a vote of thanks and expression of sincere appreciation of the signal services he has rendered West Point and that a properly engrossed and authenticated copy of this resolution be presented to Major General William R.

  • The Spanish-American War As a Bourgeois Testing Ground Richard Harding Davis, Frank Norris and Stephen Crane
    David Kramer The Spanish-American War as a Bourgeois Testing Ground Richard Harding Davis, Frank Norris and Stephen Crane The men who hurried into the ranks were not the debris of American life, were not the luckless, the idle. The scapegraces and vagabonds who could well have been spared, but the very flower of the race, young well born. The brief struggle was full of individual examples of dauntless courage. A correspondent in the spasms of mortal agony finished his dispatch and sent it off. —Rebecca Harding Davis, l898l y implying the death of a heroic but doomed newspaperman in the charge at Las Guisimas, Rebecca Harding Davis was, fortunately, premature. Davis’s son, Richard, who witnessed the incident, made a similar misapprehension Bwhen he reported, “This devotion to duty by a man who knew he was dying was as fine as any of the courageous and inspiring deeds that occurred during the two hours of breathless, desperate fighting.” The writhing correspondent was Edward Marshall of the New York Journal who, hit by a Spanish bullet in the spine and nearly paralyzed, was nonetheless able to dictate his stirring account of Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. Taken to the rear and his condition deemed hopeless, Marshall somehow survived his agony and after a long convalescence was restored to health. Marshall would later capitalize on his now national fame by penning such testimonials as “What It Feels Like To Be Shot.”2 Fundamentally, the Spanish-American War was fought for and, to a lesser degree, by the middle and upper classes—Rebecca Harding Davis’s the very flower of the race, young well born.

African American Soldiers in the Philippine War: An Examination of the Contributions of Buffalo Soldiers during the Spanish American War and Its Aftermath, 1898–1902. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August 2017, 294 pp., 8 tables, bibliography, 120 titles. During the Philippine War, 1899 – 1902, America attempted to quell an uprising from the Filipino people. Four regular army regiments of black soldiers, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantry served in this conflict. Alongside the regular army regiments, two volunteer regiments of black soldiers, the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth, also served. During and after the war these regiments received little attention from the press, public, or even historians. These black regiments served in a variety of duties in the Philippines, primarily these regiments served on the islands of Luzon and Samar. The main role of these regiments focused on garrisoning sections of the Philippines and helping to end the insurrection. To carry out this mission, the regiments undertook a variety of duties including scouting, fighting insurgents and ladrones (bandits), creating local civil governments, and improving infrastructure.

  • The War with Spain
    THE WAR WITH SPAIN A COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WAR OF 1898 THE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN BY CHARLES MORRIS AUTHOR OF "THE NATION'S NAVY," "HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, " HISTORICAL TALES," ETC. WITH MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS PHILADELPHIA J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY 1899 -MS J Copyright, 1898, BY J. B. Lippincott Company. PREFACE. The true mission of the United States may be held peace, war production, not destruction ; in- to be not ; dustry, not rapine. But even to the most peacefully inclined of nations occasions come which irresistibly demand that the sword shall be drawn and blows be struck, and through one of these periods of violence this country has just passed. It has had to deal with a nation not yet in the nineteenth century, a belated relic of the mediaeval age, and has found it necessary to employ forcible methods. War is an evil, but there are greater evils only to be met by war, national diseases which only the strongest remedies can cure. Spain's colonial system has been such a disease, one with which only heroic treatment would avail. It has been a system of despotism and enslavement, of the suppression of insur- rection by massacre and starvation, and of obstinate ad- here^^ to methods long since outlived by other civilized nations. The state of affairs had grown intolerable when the United States took up the sword for the relief of a starving and perishing people, and began a war based upon the highest of motives, that of humane sympathy and the succor of the oppressed.

Thank you for always being there for me. I have been urged by family, friends and associates over the past half century to put my research of history, particularly local and military history, to print. Over thirty years ago while serving as a City of Tampa Councilman, I called for a thousand volunteers to form once again the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment ‘Rough Riders’ so as to celebrate ‘Roosevelt’s visit to Tampa in 1898. This was successful and the organization survives to this day involving itself in charitable, educational and historic preservations projects. This work is a result of some of that research.
