The cadet corps formed outside the north sally port and marched to breakfast.
About seven o'clock breakfast ended.

The corps marched back to barracks and was dismissed.
By 7.15 every young man was hard at work, "boning" hard over the studies in which he must recite during the forenoon.

He "boned" until 7.55.Then, in his own appropriate section, he marched off to the Academic Building, remaining in the section room, under the instruction or quizzing of some officer of the Army until 9.20.
Now the new plebe, like the cadets of all classes, marched back to his room.

At his desk he studied until summoned at 10.55 for the second recitation of the day, in some other subject.
At 12.10 he was dismissed from this second period of recitation, but 12.20 found the young man in dinner formation.

From this mid-day meal the cadet reached barracks at 1.10.Now he had some time with which to do as he pleased; to be exact, he had fifteen minutes.
