When the Central Area cadet
barracks were demolished in the 1960's to make room for the new, larger Eisenhower Barracks,
a section of the old barracks was saved and now stands in the center of
the area as a monument to past generations of cadets. Renamed Nininger
Hall, the old 1st Division (originally built in 1851) now contains the
Honor Committee's hearing room, offices of the Center for Professional
Military Ethic, and three cadet rooms preserved in the style and furnishings
of three distinct eras in the history of West Point.
One room represents the period from
the 1950s through the late 1960s. Funds for its establishment, and the
articles in it, were donated by members of the Class of 1960. Efforts have been
made to arrange the room as closely as possible
the way a room was supposed to look when we and our classmates were
in class.
The room is dedicated to three of our classmates
killed in action while serving in Vietnam. The names of
these individuals, Dick Boyd, Lyell King and Chuck Titus, are displayed
in the name tag slots throughout the room. Click on the pictures below
