DESCRIPTION

Vintage illustrated promotional brochure for the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Lexington, Virginia, featuring numerous black-and-white photographs of the historic military college, established in 1839.

Measures approximately 3.5 x 6.25 inches folded and opens into a large, multi-panel photographic brochure printed on both sides.

The brochure provides an overview of the institution, its military training, academic programs, campus buildings, traditions, and student life.

Photographs and subjects include:

• Cadet Barracks and Parade Grounds

• Alumni Field

• William H. Cocke Hall (Gymnasium)

• Preston Library

• Jackson Memorial Hall

• Memorial Garden

• Crozet Hall

• Maury-Brooke Hall

• Scott Shipp Hall

• New Market Painting

• Graduation Exercises

• Lee Highway Historical Marker

• George Washington and Stonewall Jackson statues

Additional sections discuss academic courses, military training, admissions requirements, tuition and expenses, state scholarships, alumni, and student publications.

Of particular historical interest is the brochure\'s discussion of the Battle of New Market, including the participation of VMI cadets in the May 15, 1864, Civil War engagement.

An interesting piece of Virginia military education history, particularly appealing to collectors of VMI memorabilia, Lexington history, military academies, Civil War commemorative material, and historic campus photography.

DATE: Undated. The reference to the recently opened V. M. I. Field House and the campus photographs suggest a mid-20th-century publication, likely circa 1940s–1950s. The printed 1839 date refers to the institution\'s founding, not the brochure\'s publication.
