Description

I once again visited my alma mater, Virginia Military Institute, or VMI, in early December 2016. On the afternoon of my arrival, the Rats - first year students known as college freshman throughout most of our world - were "dyked out" in full winter dress uniform when preparing to receive instruction in the fine art of marching together. The appearance, from my vantage point as an alumnus, was somewhat comedic, as more than a few were out of step and appeared far less than "military." As I commented recently to several of my Brother Rats, the best view today of the Institute and its current Corps of Cadets is from Alumni Hall!
