Cadets are shown here in the process of a rifle drill in front of the Gymnasium. Not much has changed in the Photo to the present day.
The Class of 1892 poses for a photo. None of the cadets realized that 17 years later the Academy would close its doors forever as a military school.
Aside from the present coat of white paint, the Gymnasium hasn't changed much in nearly ninety years since this photo was taken.
The cadets, dressed in "West Point Gray," sit down to a meal in the mess hall with old fashioned gas lights hanging above their heads.
