description Photograph of the three cadet captains at A&M of Alabama in 1887. 19th and early 20th century students at what is now Auburn University were called cadets and were required to buy and wear grey wool military-style uniforms and engage in military exercises as part of their education. (Women were not admitted until 1892.) The cadet captains were in charge of the other cadets and wore appropriate insignia, etc., to indicate their rank. The captains shown are (right to left): Wilson H. Newman (B.S. 1887; M.S. 1888); Vassar Lyle Allen (B.S. 1887; M.S. 1888); Edward Reed Lloyd (B.S. 1887; M.S. 1888). (When the original East Alabama Male College became Alabama's land grant college in 1872 it adopted the name Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, a name it retained until 1898 when it became Alabama Polytechnic Institute.)
