Corps of Cadets
Aha! That's been bothering me for a couple days now. I left that phrasing on the Virginia Tech article deliberately vague and somewhat awkward when I did a cursory article cleanup during Day One of this mess in the hopes that someone who actually knew how that sort of thing worked would feel compelled to change it. The phrasing, as we initially found it, had included Norwich along with TX A&M, but we decided it shouldn't because Norwich seems to be much more a "military school" than either VT or Texas A&M, which are both in the same "class," in terms of the way they work in regards to their respective corps of cadets. Thanks for your edit. --Dynaflow 19:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * You are welcome. I am an instructor at North Georgia College and State University, aka The Military College of Georgia, and so had some personal knowledge. We had a candlelight vigil the other night and one of our professors who graduated from VT spoke of the many similarities between our small school in the N. Georgia mountains and VT's larger campus in the Va mountains. Norwich is the only private school in the "six," but also has civilians. VMI is the only of the six with no civilians. The Citadel retains is appearance of military only, but has a significant civilian population in night and grad school. It would be nice, given your interest in standardizing university pages, to look into the senior military college page, and the pages for the six member institutions, and the corresponding pages for each of their corps of cadets, to bring some order and standardization to them. As it stands, they tend to be edited, it seems, by those who are more interested in promotion and PR than those interested in fair and accurate information.--Mark David Anthony 03:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
