Of the Past.
[Written for Thma Haar,,n InoDEPND1ENT.1
E HAD BEEN DIILL
r inug three times and
reciting twice a day
from the moment of
our arrival at West
Point until hauled up
for "preliminary ex
amination" after the
20th of June. Physi
cally this was right
and searching; men:
tally it. was a mere
bagatelle. We had all
been measured for our
uniforms (good old
SMorrison, rest his
soull telling me that I
sn't half the man my father was before
e, for he made his cadet and engineering
forms way back in '38-a comparison
ioh proved eminehtly well fouqded.) We
d thanked heaven moat devoutly when
r persecutors, the yearlings and the new
at class were marched off to camp. The
aduating class were rushed to the front,
d the "furlough class," having oom
eted just one-half of the prescribed four
are' course, was permitted to scatter
meward for a two months' visit. How
let and peacel, i and altogether delight
1 the deserted barracks seemed to us,
th our, tormentors away. One blessed
ek we were free from authorized bully
g by day, though time and again
one daring soamps of yearlings stole out
camp in the dead of night and, stealth
invading barracks while our guardians(?)
re soundly sleeping, whipped our blank
a from under us, leaving nothing but the
re boards of the flooring for our couch,
Id disappeared as noiselessly and quickly
they came, carrying with them our shoes,
ots and bedding. Deaf as were the cadet
rporals on duty to the, scurry of their
apsmatees,there was no reflection on their
gilance when we were the breakers of reg
stipns. Venturing to strike a match and
ht our single gas jet that my Maine and
aryland room-mates might join me in a
arch for shoes, in came at the instant a
etn-faced cadet corporal. (How we have
kghed ovor'it since, he the now distin
ished major of engineers and I the
nged-up dragoon.) "How dare you have
light. in quarters after taps? Consider
urself in close arrest, sir. What do you
atlemen mean by being out of bed at this
or of the night?"
"Cause we're out of bedding, sir," re
ibs Mr. Greene, of Maine. with the broad
in that no cadet tormenters ever auc
eded in banishing.fos. hi5e good-humored
ce. Cadet Corporal Miller knows this
at as well as we do, but will tolerate no
itticiams;
"No levity, Mr. Greene. You ought to
ashabumed of yourself, sir. Men who can
t guard their own property are not fit to
entrusted with the care of government
.ores. Stop that laughing, Mr. Greene.
"1NO LEVITY."
S for you, Mr. King, shoulder that broom
d walk post here in the hall for the next
o hours for lighting your gas without
rmission."
Meantime, of course, most of the plebes
ad been "tuned out" and after an hour's
'arch in the gymnasium, the bar'ack
liars, on the wide level of the plain; in
ed, far over toward camp (where two
f our number were fiercely surrounded
d arrested by the now vigilant guards
d marched off to prison on suspicion of
ing spies), and scattered blankets, sheets,
c., were recovered and we were per
itted to turn in again to get such rest as
as possible 'twixt four o'clock and the
weille at five.
And then, examinations over, one fine
y, about the 25th of June, we poor young
ars, with a world of trouble ahead of us,
ere marched across the cavalry plain to
e glistening white tents of camp; were
oeived with tumultuous acclamation by
e whole yearling classe-the seniorsa pat
nizingly looking on-were distributed to
e companies to which we had been as
gned; were shown in wh'ch tents to un.
ad our "plunder," and then left to tirhe
oder mercies of the third class. In the
minmmer of '61 the new class entered, over
e hundred strong, and the' yearhlings, re
ucneed by resignations, etc.. to barely
lilt y-five, managed to keep the pleboes
sily occupied. If under these coondi
one life was made a burden to the new
.maers think of our plight in '62, when the
nrling class was bigger than our own.
hink what it must have been in Company
of the corps of cadets in that memora
sle summer of '02 when I tell you that only
ght plebes were assigned thier eto, and
ere promptly notified that they must take
re of the belongings of some forty upper
iass men. What did that mean? Well,
erhaps the remarks of Cadet L-. of the
sird class, U. S. Mi. A., June, 1862, will cx
lain.
"Here you plebe-Mr, King. You are as
gned to special duty at my tent. You
ill report there every morning at police
1l with a bucket of fresh water; tie up
eo tent wall; make up the bedding;
eep and dust. If there's anything wrong

irty times that night. You will keep the
fles of Messrs. 11- and ll- and myself in
effect order; you will see to it that our
rtridge boxes and bayonett scabbards are

hits belts are in ovary other day. aed al
aye for guard and inspectIon; that the
ompon sockets, eagles, castles and buckles
f the dress hat, the bell plates, and all
ther brasses of our accoutrements are
eshly polished every afternoon; thkit' all
e shoes aie cleaned and blacked overy
ay (carry themrn to and from the slino
lack's tent, sir, and keep them properly
uted, but never black them yourself, eli',

proving conversation while we smokeonr

but undestand stinctly your arst duty
to us, even at the expense of getting re
ported for the condition of your own tent;
sour demerits don't count yet, - itr do,
Now, sir, you are duly placed on duty."
But that was only one tent. It treseatl ,
transpired that I would be oxpected to lmoo
after the domain of our next door neigb
boron the left, a dashing yearling whom I
haU known when he was at Charlier's and
I at Anthon's, and both at Wood's dym
easium and the same dancing school In
New York, Three of no aspirants for mili
tary lorv were quartered in the second
tent on the south side of the company
street. One of my tent-mates, the Yale
man, was 'detailed on special duty" over
the tent of a bracen of happy third lals
men at our right hand, with incidental du
tie to perform at the tent of two cadet
ofcere and the cadet first sergeant. The
next, a dark-eyed boy from Oswego, had
twe tents assigned to him, and as for our
own "plebe hotel" we took week and week
about, Prehently one of our eight was
oaken ill and to the hospital, and his
duties were "distributed" to me. If the
davil finds mischief for idle hands to do
the devil had no show whatever so far as I
was concerned and the summer of '62 lasted.
From the rising of the sun until several
hours after the going down of the eame no

morning and evening, the "police details,"
consisting of four members of the third
and fourth olase.e; put the company ground
In thorough order, the third classea elsm
ply reqgrtnri his 'special duty plebe to ap
pear in his sstead. A firat-ciase private, in
those days, when detailed for guard duty
would merely inquire what plebe in his
company was sufficiently well instructed to
represent him, and gave no further thought
to the matter. N.ariy one half of the class
was in uniform before the lourth of July
came round, and I had worn cadet uniform
perforce, before going to examination. In
deed, I went to the hospital for physical
examination in cadet gray (before the eur
geons we all appeared in uniform--natral
buff) bt it was that or nothing. A goallant
fellow graduating prematurely two days
previous concluded tnat he liked my New
York college suit (the last made for me by
Jim Bell, of blessed memory) better'than
his own, and his natty gray coatee and
trousers fitted me to a dot. The swap was
made by the advice of our cadet lieutenant
commanding the plebee-it hardly needed
my coneent. ",loeom shirts." too, were
,things no cadet could use, so they went to
another good fellow, whom we heard of as
fighting like a Iladiator in Hancock's fore
most line at Gettysburg. I wondered if the
bullet that ripped away sash and coat and
a long furrow in hit coat had similarly
ohanneled one of those lamented shirts of
mine.
All this labor, all this rough initiation,
all this apparent "harassing or molesting"
of the plebes went on openly and above
board, and nobody in authority seemed to
care a whit. Indeed, we thought, the old
oadete thought, and I believe to this day
it was generally thought by officers old and
young, that it was all "winked at" because
of its utterly leveling effect. It brought the
college-bred youth and the country bump
kin down to the same oiane. It sternly
forbade them seeking comrades or asso
ciates among the upper classmen, and
made the plebes rely solely on one another
for friendship or sympathy. It laid each
year the foundations of that deep, abiding
and almost enthusiastic class feeling which
at West Point, more than any other college
I ever heard of, bloomed and flourished,
year after year, stronger and stronger.
It may have beep all wrong in pritciple,
but it was great in reatilt and then what
experts we \became in cleaning guns and
,buckles and belt plat ... - , ..m.
Yet this, too, is a thing of the past.
