Keydets Win SoCon Title A spring football season was history-making enough. But then, the Keydets won the Southern Conference championship for the first time since 1977, maintained own- ership of the Silver Shako trophy after a win over the Citadel, and for the first time in program history, VMI earned an automatic bid to the NCAA FCS playoffs. It was a special season for fans and alumni as well. The last time VMI won the SoCon title was more than 20 years before most current cadets were born. The eight- game spring schedule ended with the Keydets finishing 6-1—the first game planned for Feb. 20, 2021 against Chattanooga was postponed. Allen Xu ’21, Cadet EMT Chief As the excitement remained strong after the season ender against the Citadel, players, coaches, and staff joined together in Marshall Hall the next morning to learn their fate in the FCS. It was announced that VMI was to play James Madison University April 24 in Harrisonburg.

  • The New Market Campaign, May, 1864
    THE iiiii EDWARD RAYMOND TURNER GIFT OF THE NEW MARKET CAMPAIGN MAY, 1864 BY EDWARD RAYMOND TURNER PROFESSOR OF EUROPEAN HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN WHITTET & SHEPPERSON 1912 COPYRI GHT IQI2 BY EDWARD RAYMOND TURNER TO MY AUNT Curner A WOMAN OF THE OLD SOUTH 244014 PREFACE writing of this volume was made possible by the THEpreliminary researches of Captain Henry A. Wise, Colonel George H. Smith, Lieutenant-Colonel George M. Edgar, and Mr. Benjamin A. Colonna. The battle of New Market, though one of the smaller en gagements of the Civil War, possessed certain striking features which made it such an attractive subject, that it had been described by numerous writers. Moreover the part taken by the Cadets was so brilliant and unique that tales of their ex ploits, from the very day of the battle, were given wide circu lation. To those in a position to know, however, it was evi dent that no satisfactory account had been written; for not withstanding that General Sigel, General Imboden, and others had given versions, their work was obviously semi-popular and incomplete; while everything relating to the Cadets was more or less a matter of rumor and controversy, exaggerated asser tions being made by their partisans, and sweeping denials by those who opposed them. The desirability of writing an authoritative account had occurred to a number of those who took part in the battle, but to no one more than Captain Wise, who led the much debated charge of the Cadets, and who ardently wished that the part taken by his comrades should be perpetuated and placed in the proper light.

    “Fully the Equal of the Best” George C. Marshall and the Virginia Military Institute A GEORGE C. MARSHALL FOUNDATION PUBLICATION EMOBILIZATION of the vast war machine that he had worked so hard to assemble,arm,and train was well underway by November D1945, and George C. Marshall, who had been Army Chief of Staff for sixty-two months (longer than anyone before or since), thought he deserved a leisurely retirement devoted to his family and to tending his gardens in Leesburg,Virginia. But the world was too undone for the quick return of normalcy, and the nation’s leaders repeatedly, insistently requested his services: as special ambassador to China in 1946, as Secre- tary of State in 1947 and 1948, and as Secretary of Defense in 1950 and 1951. At every turn of his career after 1939, the President needed him. Others had need of him,too;he spent a year traveling the country as chair- man of the American National Red Cross (1949–50). Why did he accept these and other demands when he had already served his country for nearly forty-five years? Speaking to a national radio audience on November 11, 1940, the anniversary of the founding of his alma mater, the Virginia Military Institute, Marshall explained his VMI- inspired worldview: Our graduates seldom amass great wealth, but just as seldom do they dis- play weakness or indifference to their duties as citizens.They are trained to be soldiers,if there be need for soldiers ... ;but what is far more impor- tant, they are trained to be good citizens, strong and of the type so urgently needed to promote the welfare of this country of ours in its democratic progress.

  • VMI in the Civil War
    VMI in the Civil War November, 1859 A contingent of the Corps was dispatched to Charles Town following John Brown’s raid on the Harper’s Ferry arsenal. Cadets stood guard at Brown’s execution on December 2nd April, 1861 The Corps was sent to Richmond, where cadets drilled Confederate army recruits. The commanding officer during this trip was Major Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson, who had joined VMI’s faculty in 1851 as professor of natural and experimental philosophy and instructor of artillery. Jackson accepted a commission and left for active duty soon after the Corps arrived in Richmond. May, 1862 The Corps was ordered to aid General Jackson’s forces during the McDowell campaign. The cadets, commanded by Scott Shipp, marched in pursuit of Federal troops but were not engaged in battle. May, 1863 General Stonewall Jackson died on May 10 from wounds received at the Battle of Chancellorsville, and his body was returned to Lexington for burial. August – December, 1863 The Corps was called into the field to defend against the raids of General William Averell, but was not engaged in battle. May 15, 1864 The Corps, again under the command of Scott Shipp, marched into battle along with General John C. Breckinridge’s forces against Federal troops led by General Franz Sigel. Ten cadets were mortally wounded in the Battle of New Market. June 11, 1864 Federal troops, under the command of General David Hunter, entered Lexington. The Corps retreated to a camp in the Blue Ridge near Balcony Falls. VMI was burned the next day by Hunter’s soldiers.

    VMI Archives www.vmi.edu/archives Text Report of Lt. Col. Scott Shipp Battle of New Market, Virginia (May 15, 1864) About Scott Shipp and this report: Scott Shipp (1839-1917) commanded the Corps of Cadets at the Battle of New Market on May 15, 1864. Shipp graduated from VMI in 1859; taught Latin, Mathematics, and Tactics; served as Commandant of Cadets from 1862-89; and as the Institute's second Superintendent from 1890-1907. This report appears in the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (O.R.)-Series I, Vol. 37, pt. 1, pp. 89-91. The VMI Archives does not hold the original manuscript report, but it has been widely reprinted in Institute records. Col. William Couper (VMI Class of 1904 and VMI Historian for many years), discovered the original report in Washington DC government records in 1938, but did not leave a complete citation or specific location information. Some information about his discovery is located in the William Couper Papers. Headquarters Corps of Cadets, July 4, 1864. General: In obedience to General Orders No. 21, Headquarters Virginia Military Institute, June 27, 1864, I have the honor to submit the following report of the Corps of Cadets, under my command, in the field, from May 11th to June 25th, inclusive. In obedience to orders from Major General Breckinridge, communicated through you, at 7 a.m. on the morning of May 11th, the Corps of Cadets, consisting of a battalion of four companies of infantry and a section of 3-inch rifled guns, took up the line of march for Staunton.

    SUPERINTENDENT VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE 14 May 2021 Meena T. Sinfelt, Esq. Partner Barnes & Thornburg LLP 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Suite 500 Washington, DC 20006 By Email to [email protected] Re: Overview of VMI DEI Initiatives Dear Ms. Sinfelt: As requested, the Virginia Military Institute (“VMI”) is timely providing a description of the Institute’s initiatives in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”). This letter expands on the points outlined in our prior correspondence to the State Council of Higher Education of Virginia (“SCHEV”). VMI has undertaken significant measures – over a period of time – to promote DEI, and for many years has fostered a supportive culture for all members of the Institute’s community. The information summarized below is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of each and every VMI activity touching upon these crucial endeavors and has been prepared for Barnes and Thornburg (“B&T”) at its request. The Institute’s support for DEI initiatives in the Commonwealth (and beyond) is an ongoing process, and VMI’s efforts will continue to expand and evolve with practices and standards in the DEI realm. VMI conducts all of its operations in strict compliance with all federal and state legal requirements. Moreover, VMI has always obtained and followed legal advice from its designated counsel in the Virginia Office of the Attorney General (or specially- appointed counsel, as appropriate) with regard to sensitive matters such as race, gender, equal opportunity, and Cadet discipline. Once a suspected infraction or legal violation has been reported to the Institute, VMI ensures that all complaints are handled promptly, fairly, sensitively, and consistently – across all members of the Institute’s community.
