ough times call for veteran leadership, and the 2005 VMI football team will Tcount on the experience of 25 senior- eligibility players to rebound from a down- trodden campaign of a year ago. The seniors, known in VMI vernacular as first classmen, stand at the crossroads of the final year of their respective football careers that have been both blessed with the most productive two-year win total in 25 years, and tarnished with a winless season. Fresh off a successful and relatively injury free spring practice, the Class of ’06, which matriculated as freshman in the fall of VMI’s successful six-win season of 2002, seem determine to finish things the way they began - as winners. And they’ll have plenty of experienced underclassmen joining them in the fight as well.The Keydets return 39 lettermen including 18 starters on both sides of the ball as well as both punter and kicking specialists.

The Institute The Virginia Military Institute is the nation’s oldest state-supported military college, founded in 1839 in Lexington,Virginia, located at the southern end of the Shenandoah Valley. VMI offers qualified young men and women a demanding combination of academic study and rigorous military training that exists nowhere else, and grants B.A. and B.S. degrees in fourteen disciplines within the general fields of engineering, science, and liberal arts.The Institute’s emphasis on qualities of honor, integrity, and responsibility contributes to its unique educational philosophy. Professional leadership training is provided to all cadets through the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs, maintained at VMI by the Department of Defense. Cadets are encouraged to pursue commissions in the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps. In every field of endeavor, whether it’s leadership in business, industry, public service, education, the professions, or careers in the military, success comes early to a high number of VMI graduates. In an independent survey of college graduates seek- ing employment, armed forces commission, or admission to graduate or professional school following graduation, 95 percent of VMI graduates met their goal by the following October. VMI’s academic breadth is diverse, and curricula for the selected major begins the first year. About 30 percent of cadets major in civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering, about half the Corps majors in liberal arts fields, and the two most popular majors are economics/business and history. For three consecutive years, U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges,” has named VMI as the No. 1 public-supported liberal arts college in the nation, and ranked its engineering program in the top one-third of “Best Undergraduate” accredited programs at schools offering only bachelor’s and master’s degrees. In separate rankings for engineering specialties,VMI’s civil engineering program ranks 12th and its electrical and computer engineering program is ranked 17th. For two con- V secutive years,VMI has been included in the Peterson’s “Competitive Colleges,” guide.The highly respected book includes information on,“top colleges for top students.” In addition, Princeton M Review has named VMI to its “Best Mid-Atlantic John P.Jumper, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force, who do,” and the oath is practiced in daily life.

The ability to help every Keydet football player reach his maximum athletic potential was brought to a new level in 2001 with a massive renovation and refurbishing of the Charles S. Luck ’20 Memorial Weight Room, housed in Cocke Hall. With over 7,000 square feet of space, the Luck Weight Room now contains over 15,000 pounds of free weights and 2,000 pounds of dumbbell weights. Over 70 pieces of free weight training equipment are available for the use of the student-athlete, and over 40 separate pieces of resistive training machine- type equipment.

At the collegiate level, he coached The Citadel, University of Maryland and Georgia Tech, winning a share of the 1990 national title at the lat- ter. He is currently in his second season as the head coach at Army.

TWO UNDEFEATED TEAMS VMI has fielded two undefeated teams in its 109-year old football history. The1920 football squad, the"Flying Squadron" under coach Blandy Clarkson, is VMI's only undefeated and untied team. In 1920, VMI posted six shutouts on the year and tore through the likes of Virginia, North Carolina, and a highly rated Pennsylvania squad coached by the legendary John Heisman.The team outscored its opposition 431-20. The 1957 squad under Coach John McKenna went 9-0-1, captured the Southern Conference championship, and attained a ranking as high as 13th in the nation before finishing at 20th in the final Associated Press poll.Theteam was also extended an invitation to play in the Sun Bowl. Clarkson-McKenna Hall, the football building adjacent to Alumni Memorial Field, honors both coaches by bearing their names at the front entrance.The facility was dedicated in 1990.

RHODES SCHOLARS Two VMI football players have earned the distinction of being Rhodes Scholars. Lee D. Badgett was selected in 1961, and Robert C. Randolph was named in 1967. Overall, four VMI athletes have been selected Rhodes Scholars including former VMI superintendent Josiah Bunting, III, a former swimmer from the class of 1963.

For centuries, this area has been a natural thoroughfare from the northeast to the richness of the lands west of the Appalachians.The Cherokee and Monacan Indian tribes lived in the area prior to its settlement by European colonists, which began in the 1730’s. Most of the settlers were Scotch-Irish and Germans, who migrated south from Pennsylvania in search of more land. Several large land grants, notably one to Benjamin Borden, stimulated settlement in the 1740’s. Grantees were required to induce a certain number of families to settle on the granted land. The Borden Grant, originally 100,000 acres, included most of present-day Rockbridge County.
