eggnog riot

Sylvanus Thayer's mark is still very much in place at WP. Read this book to learn about his decree banning alcohol at any cadet Christmas celebration - or any cadet celebration. If you are interested in American history, this book is rich in details of our country in the mid 20's. The "shenanigans" of the cadets are probably similar to today's college students. However, you won't believe the names of the cadets who participated. It put the significance of being a cadet today into a true historical perspective.
