There is a photo that exists of the United States Military Academy class of 1903 taken the day they were admitted as plebes in June 1899. Dressed in civilian clothes sporting bowler hats and dapper suits, only two of the 160 souls in the photo wear smiles. The rest have looks of seriousness and apprehension as to what awaited them. Douglas MacArthur sits in the upper left of the photo, a look of confidence upon his face and a white fedora set at a rakish tilt on his head. Years later, when classmates would remark on their first impressions of MacArthur they all recalled the white hat and the "tall, erect, boy of 19." MacArthur had but one purpose in his mind when he arrived at West Point in June of 1899: to be the best cadet at West Point the Academy had ever seen. One can imagine that many of those boys in that picture of 1899 had the same thoughts.
