Book excerpt: During the Civil War, the Confederate government passed legislation creating a national military academy and establishing the rank of Cadet. The national military college was unnecessary because the Confederacy already possessed numerous state military colleges However, the Confederate government failed to properly engage these individual state schools by providing curriculum recommendations or commissioning their graduates. This shortsighted and domineering attitude by the Confederate government ensured that the military colleges failed in their mission to produce a large number of officers for the Confederate army. It was the state governments (especially Virginia and South Carolina), not the Confederacy, that realized the importance that military colleges in the Confederacy and kept them operating with very little Confederate support. Virginia made a conscious decision to keep VMI open, not as a short term “officer candidate school,” but with her four-year military and academic curriculum intact. Supporting the school both militarily and financially, VMI produced the most officers of the southern military colleges for service in the Confederate army. Additionally, the cadets themselves were used as a military unit by the Confederate and state governments numerous times in the war.

Because of this support from the State of Virginia, VMI stayed open and it produced the largest number of officers of the southern military colleges for service in the Confederate Army. Additionally, the cadets themselves were used as a military unit by the Confederate and state governments numerous times during the war.

Book excerpt: On July 26, 1996, the United States Supreme Court nullified the single-sex admissions policy of the Virginia Military Institute, the last all-male military college in America. Capturing the voices of female and male cadets, administrators, faculty, and alumni, Laura Brodie tells the story of the Institute's intense planning for the inclusion of women and the problems and triumphs of the first year of coeducation. Brodie takes us into the meetings where every aspect of life at VMI was analyzed from the per-spective of a woman's presence: housing, clothing, haircuts, dating, and the infamous "Ratline"—the months of physical exertion, minimal sleep, and verbal harassment to which entering cadets are subjected. Throughout the process the administration's aim was to integrate women successfully without making adjustments to VMI's physical standards or giving up its tradition of education under extreme stress. No other military college had done so much to prepare. But would it work? With everyone on the Post, we hold our breath as Brodie takes us through Hell Night, the unrelenting months of the Ratline, the fraternization, hazing, and authority issues that arose, the furtive sexual encounters, the resentments and, for the women, the daily difficulties of maintaining a feminine identity in a predominantly male world. Despite the challenges, we see the women ultimately making a place for themselves. Though new problems continue to arise, Brodie's lively and inspiring account makes it clear that VMI's story is an important and timely one of institutional transformation.

CHAPTER X EXECUTION OF JOHN BROWN--CADETS PRESENT-- COMMISSION TO ARRANGE FOR ARMAMENT OF STATE MAJOR JACKSON'S EXPERIMENTS WITH PARROTT GUN CADETS ORDERED TO RICH- MOND, 1861 MARCH UNDER MAJOR JACKSON MCDOWELL NEW MARKET Before the Legislature had acted upon the important Report of the Board of Visitors, the raid of John Brown at Harper's Ferry had taken place. John Brown and his co-conspirators had been arrested, and tried under laws of the State of Virginia, were convicted and the sentence of death pronounced against them. In order to maintain the majesty of the law, it was deemed proper by His Excellency, Governor Wise, under the peculiar circumstances attending this execution, to order a portion of the military of the State to be present, and the Superintendent was ordered by the Governor to take the battalion of cadets to Charlestown as a part of the military command. The raid of John Brown, his trial and his execution, constitute a prominent element in the history of our State and country. It, in fact, was the first blow in the Civil War which soon followed. The following graphic account, written at the time by Maj. J. T. L. Preston, who was present with the corps of cadets, on the staff of Colonel Smith, is transcribed: "charlestown, Dec. 2, 1859. "The execution is over; we have just returned from the field, and I have sat down to give you an account of it. The weather was very favorable; the sky was a little overcast, with a gentle haze in the atmosphere that softened without obscuring the magnificent prospect afforded here. Between eight and nine o'clock the troops began to put themselves in motion to occupy the positions assigned them on the field, as designated on the plan I send you. To Colonel Smith had been assigned the...
