CENTENNIAL SCRAPBOOK PS The War for the Union 1861-65 in Pictures IV^llilii^l

No. 365

The class of 1837, U. S. Military Academy, was more pro-

ductive of generals for the Confederate Army than for the Union defenders. The graduates in ’37 included Braxton Bragg. John C. Pemberton, W. H. T. Walker and Jubal A. Early, the wearers in 1863 of the starred collars of Confederate lieutenant general, major gen-

eral or brigadier general.

Pemberton, a Pennsylvanian of QuakeP ancestry, went over to the side of his wife’s Virginia relatives. His being a Northerner by birth caused him to be accused in rabid

Southern journals of traitorous surrender of Vicksburg to Grant in 1863. Pemberton was induced to resign his commission as lieutenant general, but he persisted in efforts to serve the South and accepted a post as inspector of artillery, with the rank of colonel. One M. A. graduate in 1837 who distinguished himself in the Union Army was John Sedgwick of Connecticut. With service In the Seminole War, the Mexican War and Indian campaigns to his credit, he was colonel of the First Cavalry in 1861, a bachelor with a reputation for affability, addiction

to cards, and popularity with men in the ranks. They

called him "Uncle John.”

Sedgwick won steady advancement as a strict disciplinarian and highly competent commander in battles at Yorktown, Fair Oaks, Savage's Station, Glendale, Chancellorsville. He was an important figure in both the battles deemed turning points in the war in the East, Antietam and Gettysburg, despite aerious wounds at Glendale and

Antietam.

"Uncle John’s” brilliant career was to be brought to an end early in 1864 at Spottsylvania; he was killed by a sharpshooter while making a characteristic reconnaissance of front lines to direct placing of artillery. A statue of him in front of the commandant’s quarters at West Point was to be enshrined in tradition. Countless aspiring graduates came to believe that a cadet worried about his final examinations could help himself by creeping out after Taps and twirling the rowels of Sedgwick's spurs. —CLARK KXNNAIRD

—ROUDEBISH reation aspect of these projects being given consideration. Flood control, drought prevention, soil erosion, must be corrected through a progressive, well-balanced program. But it is also incumbent upon those of us w r ho serve the public, to keep in mind the growing popularity of water activities. It is vitally important that we provide wholesome and healthful recreation facilities for our young people who are much better off water-skiing, ice skating, and boating than they are in other less advantageous pursuits. I think it has been amply demonstrated that when a project is carefully conceived and rigidly planned, w r e need not fear a loss of assessed valuation for our county taxation purposes. Quite conversely, it is noted that property surrounding these recreation areas increases in value, and actually produces a net gain in tax revenues. During my conferences today and yesterday with George Gettinger .and Colonel Roper of the Corps, and Mr. Swain of the Soil Conservation Service, a strange paradox has occurred to me. I refer to the careful scrutiny, attention to detail, and economic feasibility requirement that go into all of these projects. This contra^-s greatly wdth some areas of ^ur Fedefal government spending, which seems to have little or no regulation or supervision. I refer, for example, to the annual $3 or $4 million billion we spend in foreign aid, the vast

majority of which Is handed over without any strings to foreign officials to .s/'end as they please. Yet, all of our fine agencies such as the Soil Conservation Service and Corps of Engineers, spend infinite time and effort on repeated designs and plans, and must prove that benefits equal or surpass costs. . .before their projects are accepted. It seems to me we are more stringent wdth our own citizens, than we are with foreign nations, some of whom I am afraid w'e could not count on anyway. By the way, George, look at the program we could have here in the Wabash Valley with just l-100th of the foreign aid expenditure for this year! ! Please accept my thanks for joining us today, and I hope as many persons as possible can stay wdth us the remainder of the afternoon, as we inspect several more projects remaining on our schedule.
