The Don C. Bunch Courts, named after a long-time Citadel administrator and tennis coach of 30 years, received a major facelift in the fall of 1995 with Laykold resurfacing, new windscreens and new fencing. In addition, the entire area was landscaped to blend with the campus. Lights were added to three courts in the fall of 1998.

2008 OUTLOOK

The future of The Citadel Ten-nis Team continues to move in a positive direction. With returning players and incoming recruits, The Citadel aims at a Southern Con-ference title, a trip to the NCAA tournament for the team, as well as for some stellar individual, na-tionally ranked, players within the team. Head Coach Toby Simpson is entering his seventh season as the head coach at The Citadel. The Bulldogs are returning five players from last year’s squad in-cluding the nationally ranked dou-bles tandem of James Eason and Daniel Dossetor.

Coach Simpson is optimistic and excited about the outlook of his program this season.

“With the senior leadership that we have, combined with the strong re-cruiting we have been able to do in the off season, we should have a legitimate chance at the confer-

ence title,” said Citadel head ten-nis coach Toby Simpson.

Seniors Danny Dossetor and James Eason come off of win-ning seasons in the conference at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, re-spectively. Together they will start 2008 as the 40th ranked doubles team in college tennis.

Redshirt-junior Martin King has gained some valuable experience playing in 17 singles matches and 17 doubles matches in 2007, in-cluding an impressive doubles victory against 37th ranked North Carolina State in the No. 3 posi-tion.

Sophomores Alberto Diaz and Frederick Petrilli also received valuable experience in their first collegiate season. Diaz has post-ed some positive results heading

into the 2008 season. Already in 2007 he has posted victories over players from Clemson, Virginia, Georgia Tech, and many others.

Not only do the Bulldogs have a solid senior class returning to the team, but they also have a great incoming recruiting class. The Citadel signed Yufo Sutantio from Indonesia. He is an extremely strong player that has trained the past couple of years in Australia.

The spring schedule looks chal-lenging, yet very promising. The Bulldogs will go to battle against nationally ranked teams such as Ohio State, Tennessee, Clemson, Elon, and a few others. The Bull-dogs will have a chance to test themselves against some of the best teams in the country before entering the strong play of the Southern Conference.

Toby SimpsonHead Coach Seventh YearSouthern Mississippi (1998)

Beginning his seventh season at The Citadel and sixth as head coach, Toby Simpson has the tennis program becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Southern Conference. Simpson continues to develop cadet-stu-dent-athletes into winning tennis players and winning teams. Under Simpson’s guidance, The Citadel has reached the quarterfinals (or further) in the Southern Conference Tourna-ment four of the last six seasons.

The Bulldogs struggled in 2007 as a whole, but the duo of James Eason and Danny Dos-setor proved once again to be among the best players in the Southern Conference. Eason and Dossetor made school history by being the first ever nationally ranked doubles team, ranking as high as 20th nationally. Dossetor also became the first singles player ever na-tionally ranked in school history at 118th in the nation.

The Bulldogs finished the 2006 campaign with a sixth place finish in the league as the Bulldogs featured two of the best play-ers in the SoCon. James Eason finished the year as the only player in the SoCon to go undefeated in conference singles play, gar-nering All-SoCon Second Team honors. Ea-son paired up with Daniel Dossetor to bring home All-SoCon First Team honors as the two dominated doubles play throughout the year. Simpson’s teams excelled in the class-room as well as two Cadets - Eason and Nick Medica - were named to ESPN The Maga-zine Academic All-District Team while Medica was named Academic All-American (Second Team). After graduating, he finished school as the second highest cadet, completing four years with a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

Prior to the 2006 season, the Bulldogs post-ed two fourth-place finishes in the league’s

final rankings. During the 2003-04 campaign, the Cadets started with an impressive SoCon record of 6-0. In his five years at The Citadel, Simpson has taken the Bulldogs from 11th in the SoCon to fourth, with great expectations for this year’s team.

Along with the team’s success, Coach Simp-son has had many team members gain indi-vidual honors on the courts as well. In 2004-05, he coached freshman Danny Dossetor to the First Team All-Southern Conference team as well as receiving the SoCon Fresh-man of the Year Award. Along with Dossetor, freshman James Eason was tabbed Second Team All-SoCon, and teamed with Dossetor to claim a First Team All-SoCon selection in doubles. In 2003-04, under Simpson, senior Matt Stubbs was a First Team All-SoCon se-lection and senior John Williams was the re-cipient of the league’s Sportsmanship Award, presented annually to one player in the conference and voted by all of the league’s coaches, as the player who demonstrates sportsmanship in all his endeavors.

Additionally, Stubbs was also a First Team All-SoCon pick his sophomore campaign in Simpson’s first year at The Citadel. During his senior year, John Williams was awarded The Citadel Brigadier Foundation’s Senior Athlete of the Year Award as the top senior cadet-student-athlete at The Citadel as voted on by his fellow seniors.

Simpson stresses classroom perfection from his team as well. In three of his four years as head coach, tennis has led the men’s athlet-ics in overall GPA. In 2002, `04 and `05, the tennis team achieved the honor as an NCAA/ITA All-America Team with an overall GPA of 3.2 or better, the best of 3.5 in `02.

Simpson has coached 14 NCAA/ITA Aca-demic All-Americans (overall GPA of 3.5 or better) with five athletes achieving perfect 4.0 GPAs. Along with the All-Americans, Simpson has had 20 team members on the Southern Conference All-Academic Team and Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.

Simpson is no stranger to success at the col-legiate level, on and off the court. As a player at the University of Southern Mississippi, he garnered many athletic and academic awards. Simpson was a three-time All-Con-ference USA selection while at USM and was a member of the first team in school history to reach the NCAA Tournament. He conclud-ed his senior year with a final NCAA singles ranking of No. 52 nationally, the highest in school history. During his senior campaign, Simpson posted wins over the No. 1 and No. 7 players in the NCAA, respectively.

Upon completion of his collegiate career, Simpson played professionally for a summer before returning to his alma-mater to begin coaching. During this time, Simpson played

2007 SEASON REVIEW

Bulldogs Faced Tough 2007 ScheduleThe Citadel Tennis team struggled through a very tough schedule in the 2006-07 season as they added three na-tionally ranked opponents to an already tough Southern Conference lineup. The Bulldogs finished the season with a dis-appointing 2-21 overall record, going 0-9 in the SoCon. Juniors Daniel Dossetor and James Eason had a solid year, both receiving All-Conference honors. Dosse-tor and Eason’s doubles team received All-Southern Conference First Team hon-ors while Dossetor also received AllSo-Con First Team singles honors.

Dossetor was ranked 118th nationally in singles during the first half of March, and the duo of Dossetor and Eason began their 2007 season ranked 20th national-ly. Dossetor and Eason became the first Bulldog tennis players ever to be recog-nized nationally.

Dossetor and Eason finished the fall sea-son with an 11-2 mark in doubles com-petition. The pair had a Cinderella story run through the ITA Regional Champi-onships in the doubles bracket as they defeated 14th-ranked Ytai Abougzir and Maciek Sykut of Florida State, 9-7 and Duke’s Joey Atas and David Goulet, 8-5, at the ITA Regional Championships. The duo fell in the semifinals of the ITA Re-gional Championships to Georgia Tech’s George Gelesiani and David North, 8-5. However, they continued their impres-sive fall, winning the USC Fall Invitation-al doubles crown after topping Coastal Carolina’s David Mellis and Elliott Qui-bell in the finals, 8-3. The two of them also recorded a perfect 3-0 record at the Charleston Fall Challenge.

The Citadel opened the season on the road with three tough losses at 37th-ranked North Carolina State, 25th-ranked Clemson and in Colorado Springs, Colo. against Air Force. The Bulldogs did, how-ever, pickup their two wins of the season in Colorado Springs sweeping Idaho State and South Dakota State, 7-0.

The Bulldogs came up short in very close matches against Coastal Carolina (4-3), Charleston Southern (5-2) and East Carolina (4-3). The Dogs then traveled to Chattanooga for their first Southern Con-ference game of the season, but fell to the Mocs, 6-1.

The Dogs returned home to face Illinois

State and Appalachian State, but came up short in both matches losing 5-2 in each. The Bulldogs then played three consecu-tive nationally ranked teams beginning at 30th-ranked Tennessee, hosting 45th-ranked Drake and a conference match against 44th-ranked Elon. The Dogs did not perform as well as they had liked to against the stiff competition losing, 6-1 (UT), 7-0 (Drake) and 6-1 (Elon).

The Bulldogs then headed back out on the road to play UNC Charlotte and UNC Wilmington before wrapping up the regu-lar season with seven straight conference games. The Dogs again found trouble on the road losing both games, first a 5-2 decision to the 49ers and a 6-1 result to the Seahawks.

The Citadel then hosted 59th-ranked Furman and Wofford at the Earle Ten-nis Center before traveling to Davidson. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs could not get any momentum going as they had disap-pointing showings in each match losing by a score of 6-1 in all three outings.

Still out on the road, the Bulldogs headed from Davidson to Greensboro where the Dogs showed that they still had some fight left in them giving UNCG all that they could handle in a 4-3 loss to the Spartans.

After being swept by cross-town rival and 58th-ranked College of Charleston, the Bulldogs headed to Statesboro to fin-ish off the season. The Bulldogs battled down to the very last match, but the Ea-gles would find a way to win, 4-3. This would not be the last time that the two teams would meet though as the 10th seeded Bulldogs drew the eighth seeded Eagles in the first round of the Southern Conference tournament.

The Citadel rallied from a 3-0 deficit of Georgia Southern in the conference tour-nament to pull within one at 3-2, but Der-ek Jose was upended at No. 4 singles as Georgia Southern eliminated the Bull-dogs from the tournament ending their season.

The Citadel lost lone senior Derek Jose, but welcomes back All-Southern Con-ference honorees Dossetor and Eason along with returning junior Martin King, sophomores Alberto Diaz and Frederic Petrilli for the 2007-08 season.

The Southern Conference, which began its 87th season of intercollegiate competition in 2007, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of thestudent-athleteanddefiningtheleague’sroleinhelpingtobuildlifelongleaders and role models.

TheSouthernConference is thenation’sfifth-oldestNCAADivisionIcolle-giate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), thePacific 10 (1915) and theSouthwesternAthletic (1920) conferences areolder in terms of origination.

The Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Champi-onship Subdivision conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State has won the last two Football Championship Subdivision titles. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

The league crowns champions in nine women’ssportsincludingcrosscountry,soccer,volleyball, indoortrack&field,basketball,tennis,golf,outdoortrack&fieldandsoftball.

Membership HistoryThe Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. as 14 institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921.

In 1922, six more schools - Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tu-lane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. VMI became a member in 1925 and Duke was added 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of mem-bershipchangeswith42 institutionshavingbeenaffiliatedwith the league.The league has undergone two major transitions during its history.

ThefirstoccurredinDecember1932whentheSoutheasternConferencewas formed from the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership.

The second major shift came about in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest with-drew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was

brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against local rivals.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans four Ten-nessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Current league mem-bers are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson,

Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Western CarolinaandWofford.OnJuly1,2008,Samfordwillofficiallyjointheleague,brining membership of the conference to 12.

moted the conference through an ambitious agenda which improved com-petition, upgraded compliance-related matters and increased the market-ing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions.

The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from

BlueDevilfootballcoachtoathleticsadministrationasthefirstpersonatthehelm of the conference.

Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated theleague’sexpansiontoincludewomen’sathletics.In1987,hewas succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the leagueofficefromCharlotte,N.C.toAsheville,N.C.

Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Un-derWaters’leadership,theSouthernConferenceexpandedto12members, added threewomen’s sports and posted record rev-enue from the basketball Tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B.Whitein1998.White,aveteranmemberoftheNCAAoffice,introducedthecurrentSoConlogoandelevatedtheconference’scommitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. He became the president of the Asheville franchise of the National

marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship HistoryThe first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball

tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournamenttobecomethefirstrecognizedleaguechampioninanysport.The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball.

The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league

began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994.

Lt. General John W. RosaPresident Third YearThe Citadel (Class of ‘73)

The Citadel President Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa was born in Springfield, Ill., Sept. 28, 1951. After graduating high school in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1969, he was re-cruited to play football at The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina. While at The Citadel Rosa was starting Bulldog quarterback in 1970 and went on to earn three varsity letters in football. He gradu-ated from The Citadel in 1973 with a de-gree in business administration and was awarded a commission in the Air Force.

A command fighter pilot with more than 3,600 flying hours, Rosa enjoyed an il-lustrious 32-year career in the Air Force. Among his career highlights, he was stationed in Lossiemouth, Scotland, as an American exchange officer flying the Jaguar for the Royal Air Force. He has commanded at squadron, group and wing levels at air bases in South Korea, Idaho, South Carolina, New Mexico and Georgia. He served as inspector general for Pacific Air Forces at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii and commandant of The Air Command and Staff College at Max-well Air Force Base in Alabama.

As deputy director for operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C., he was in charge of the National Military Command Center and served as the mil-itary spokesman for the Pentagon when U.S. troops were deployed to Afghani-stan and Iraq in 2002. In July 2003, he was named superintendent of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs,

Colo., and in September of that year, he was promoted to lieutenant general. He remained in that position until his re-tirement from active duty in November 2005.

On Jan. 3, 2006, Rosa returned to The Citadel where he serves as 19th presi-dent.

Rosa holds a master’s degree in public administration from Golden Gate Uni-versity. He is a graduate of the Air Force Command and Staff College, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff Col-lege, and the U.S. Army War College. And he has studied at the John F. Ken-nedy School of Government and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

His awards include the Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit with oak leaf cluster, the Meritorious Service Medal with four oak leaf clusters, the Air Force Commendation Medal and the Combat Readiness Medal with two oak leaf clusters. He has flown the A-7, A-10, Hunter and Jaguar aircraft, F-16, F-117A, HH-60G and HC-130.

He is married to Donna Kangeter, a Charleston native. They have two sons, Jonathan and Brad (’03), and a grand-son, Michael Bradley, who is the son of Jonathan and his wife, Elisha.

Lt. General Rosa addresses the graduating class of 2007.

Les RobinsonAthletic Director Eighth YearN.C. State (Class of ‘65)

At a school where leadership is taught and duty is part of the curriculum, The Cita-del has the right person to lead its Depart-ment of Athletics in Les Robinson. A vir-tual Who’s Who in intercollegiate athletics and one of the region’s most sought-after speakers, Robinson is in his seventh year as the Bulldogs’ Director of Athletics.

Possessing more than four decades of col-lege athletic experience to his credit, Rob-inson, who also served as athletics direc-tor and basketball coach at North Carolina State and East Tennessee State, is only the fifth athletics director in Citadel his-tory. He served as the Bulldogs’ basketball coach from 1974-85, having spent the five previous seasons as an assistant coach.

In his eight years leading The Citadel’s athletics program, Robinson’s skills as a proven fund-raiser have already ben-efited The Citadel Brigadier Foundation. Robinson has been faced with having to hire three football coaches during his ten-ure. The process in which he hired Ellis Johnson, John Zernhelt and current coach Kevin Higgins , featured a coast-to-coast whirlwind tours of the entire Citadel family, and was received extremely well. He was successful in getting numerous people to talk about Citadel football months in ad-vance. He recently hired basketball coach Ed Conroy, and administratively, has re-aligned the Athletics Department’s admin-istration.

He directed the 1978-79 and 1984-85 teams to 20 and 18 victories, respectively. Robinson was named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year in 1979 and was tabbed South Carolina’s Coach of the Year in 1979 and 1985.The West Virginia native remains the only coach in Southern Conference men’s bas-ketball history to earn league coach of the year honors at two different schools, and

he ranks fifth on the conference’s list of basketball wins.

As athletic director at N.C. State from 1996-2000, Robinson oversaw a depart-ment with an operating budget of $25 mil-lion and sent 11 teams to postseason play. During his final year, the department wit-nessed a $1.1 million surplus.

In addition, the cumulative grade point average of athletes at the ACC institu-tion exceeded that of the general student body. Robinson and the N.C. State family also witnessed the opening of the Enter-tainment and Sports Arena, a 19,700-seat facility which serves as the home of the Wolfpack men’s basketball program and the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League.

Robinson earned a bachelor of science de-gree in education and recreation from N.C. State in 1965.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

The Citadel is a state-supported comprehensive military college with the mission of educating principled leaders through its Corps of Cadets. Males and females are admitted to the undergraduate residential Corps of Cadets. In addition to the day program, undergraduate and graduate programs are offered through The Citadel Graduate College (CGC) in the evening.

The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education recognizes The Citadel as the only specialized four-year college in the state. The Citadel, founded in 1842, is a co-educational military college with a rich and storied history. Located in Charleston, S.C., the institution offers a classic military education for young men and women who seek a college experience that is intense, meaningful and academically strong. Citadel graduates say that the disci-plined lifestyle and friendships they forged here have a profoundly positive effect on their lives.

With an enrollment of more than 1,900, the Corps of Cadets is the nation’s largest military college program outside the service academies. All cadets are educated within a classic military system and about 40 percent of the graduating seniors earn military commissions. The remaining graduates at-tend graduate school or enter the job market.

The Citadel Graduate College, which is noted for Citadel excellence in a civilian environment, serves about 1,200 residents of South Carolina’s Low-country.

Academic programs at the college are complimented by a strong commitment

to service and emphatic support of an honor code that calls upon a cadet not to lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those who do. Since its founding in 1842, The Citadel’s emphasis on character, as well as intellect, has produced generations of graduates who have served their nation, their professions and their communities with distinction.

Corps of Cadets ...All students at The Citadel are cadets in the South Carolina Corps of Cadets, which numbers approxi-mately 1,900 and represent nearly every state, as well as more than 20 countries. While roughly 40 percent of the graduates each year go into the armed services, all cadets participate in an ROTC program. On most days, cadets have physical fit-ness training and military instruction in addition to their regular college classes. Weekdays end with a formation and required evening study period.

This is The Citadel...

Because The Citadel emphasizes corps unity, cadets cannot be married and all must live on campus in the barracks with their assigned company. Despite the challenges, cadets value their first year for the lessons in teamwork, self-discipline and time management. The disciplined lifestyle that begins in the knob year binds cadets into a lifelong, close-knit camaraderie that is one of the strongest forces in their lives after graduation.

Academic Programs...Because of the strength of the academic program, The Citadel has repeatedly been rated as a top regional institution in the annual rankings issued by U.S. News and World Report. The quality of the education at The Citadel com-bined with the availability of financial aid, the credentials of the faculty and the graduation rate earned the institution the citation of Best College Value in the South in 1999. With more than 80 percent of its students returning each year, The Citadel enjoys one of the best retention records in the country. The Citadel’s 14 academic departments offer five bachelor’s degrees in 17 areas, six master’s degrees in 17 areas and specialist degrees in two areas.

Citadel Graduate College...The Citadel’s evening college serves the Lowcountry by offering nationally accredited bachelor’s, master’s and specialist degrees scheduled around the student’s profession, family and lifestyle. It is the well-known Citadel academic excellence in a civilian en-vironment. The CGC offers 20 graduate programs with concentrations in education, psychology, computer science and business. The Master of Business Administration pro-gram is the only nationally accredited MBA program in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. The CGC also offers three undergraduate evening programs in business and engineering. The Citadel is the only college in South Carolina that offers an undergradu-ate civil and electrical engineering degree in the evening.

Alumni...Generations of Citadel graduates have served their nation, their state and their com-munity with distinction. The Citadel graduates men and women with alert minds and sound bodies, who value honor, integrity, loyalty and patriotism, and who accept the responsibilities that accompany leadership. The Citadel remains a stronghold of duty, self-discipline and high ideals in a changing American society.

Honor

The Honor Code is fairly simple. This code, while simple, offers the key to living and maintaining an honorable life. Cadets are trained that there is never a situation in which they should participate in, or tolerate, dishonorable activities. These core values of honor and integrity are exactly the values which allow Citadel cadets and alumni to improve their organizations and their communities.

Honor is the most cherished principle at The Citadel. In to-day’s post-corporate-scandal society, honor, integrity, and ethics are in high demand. The Citadel strives to achieve ex-cellence in the education of principled leaders, also known as the “whole person” concept. The Honor Code encompasses all aspects of cadet life, from academic integrity to personal integrity. It has evolved from an unwritten tradition known as the “code of the gentleman” to a formalized code in Septem-ber of 1955, when the Corps of Cadets unanimously voted to establish The Honor Code. The development of a cadet into a principled leader is a four-tiered process that includes know-ing, adhering, believing, and leading. Its culmination is seen in the cadets who internalize the Code and the alumni who continually apply it throughout their lives.

Cadet PrayerAlmighty God, the source of light and strength, we implore Thy blessing on this our beloved institution, that it may continue

true to its high purposes.

Guide and strengthen those upon whom rests the authority of government; enlighten with wisdom those who teach and those who learn; and grant to all of us that through sound learning and firm leadership, we may prove ourselves worthy citizens of

our country, devoted to truth, given to unselfish service, loyal to every obligation of life and above all to Thee.

Preserve us faithful to the ideals of The Citadel, sincere in fellowship, unswerving in duty, finding joy in purity and confidence through a steadfast faith.

Grant to each one of us, in his/her own life, an humble heart, a steadfast purpose, and a joyful hope, with a readiness to endure hardship and suffer if need be, that truth may prevail among us and that Thy will may be done on earth. Through Jesus

Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

“A Cadet does not Lie, Cheat or Steal,nor Tolerate those who do.”

LeadershipCadet Creed

I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of The Citadel and the South Caro-lina Corps of Cadets.

Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically tough, and morally straight, and I will shoulder more than my share of the task what-ever it may be.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a well-trained cadet. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

And under no circumstances will I ever bring discredit to The Citadel and the South Carolina Corps of Cadets.

Graduates of The Citadel succeed because they know what it takes to meet a challenge in any field: patience and persistence, discipline and determination, teamwork and hardword.

The Citadel emphasizes athletic competition as a way to build leaders, learn teamwork and prepare for life’s challenges. Physical fitness represents a vital component of every Cadet’s experience. All Cadets take physical education courses and participate in one or more of our 28 intramural sports, 15 intercollegiate club sports or 16 NCAA Division I athletic programs.

Graduates of The Citadel benefit from an invaluable lifelong association with other alumni. Talk to any graduate of The Citadel, and you will sense firsthand the powerful force of the strong alumni network.

Sir, Yes, Sir • Sir, No, SirSir, No Excuse, Sir

“...three permissible knob answers: ‘Sir, yes, sir’ and ‘Sir, no, sir’ and—I liked this third one best of all—’Sir, no excuse, sir.’ By golly, I think, we ought to send the entire U.S. Congress down here to learn answer number three”... “Then I read this friendly advice in the book: ‘When you receive an order, carry it out to the best of your ability. Never argue or offer suggestions which you think might be better. This is not in your best interest.’ Well, it seems to me that The Citadel has a few things to teach the Cabinet and the Executive Branch, too! In fact, maybe we should just put the whole federal government through cadet training!”

The Honorable Ronald ReaganFormer President

May 15, 1993

Whatever their major, all cadets will graduate with a “dual degree” in leadership. They learn about attention to detail, respect, time management, and discipline.

“Leadership is about integrity, trust and people. The Citadel, with its mission to prepare graduates to be pricipled leaders, is all about integrity, trust and people. There is no question in my mind that, had I not attended The Citadel to learn these values, I would not have come close to achieving what success I have been fortunate enough to achieve.”

L. William Krause, ‘63Retired Chairman of 3COM Corporation
