About this Item
Once listed, this will be the Only copy of this booklet for sale on the Internet. In fact, I didn't find one other copy for any graduation year from The Citadel. Included inside the book is a signed letter to the parents of a graduating cadet from Maj. Gen. James A. Grimsley, Jr. You can check out his Wikipedia profile, the first paragraph of which reads: 'James Alexander Grimsley Jr. was a United States Army Major General and combat veteran of two wars who also served as President of his alma mater, The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina from 1980 to 1989.' The cadet was African-American. The letter states in part 'I am dedicated to increasing the number of black cadets at The Citadel. They are enriching the educational process at this institution and are adding an important dimension to the Corps of Cadets. I am seeking your help in spreading the good word about this college. Please consider encouraging young men of your son's caliber to seek a Citadel education I would be very grateful if you use the enclosed postcard or other means to provide us the following information about prospective cadets among your acquaintances.' The letter is in perfect condition. The booklet is in very good condition. The covers and pages are all very clean. There is a light crease or bend at the bottom corner of the front cover. I don't see any other wear. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Seller Inventory # 003134
