USMA Class Rings

West Point on Post Cards
This collection of vintage post cards recalls a time in the early 20th century when postcards were a much more popular method of communication then they are now. Some of the scenes capture buildings that no longer stand, others capture moments in the life of cadets that are curious by today’s standards. Taken as a whole, the post cards are a valuable supplement to other collections of West Point scenes that are part of these digital collections.
