Alumni Class Rings
The senior Class of 1923 started the ҹɫСÊÓƵ ring tradition. Class members R. T. Wilson, F. II. Styles and E.F. Merchant drew up rules governing its use, one of the stipulations being that only a candidate for graduation will be allowed to wear it, and then only from Junior Week through the senior year.
Each lifestyle at ҹɫСÊÓƵ now has its own version and history of the ҹɫСÊÓƵ Ring. Learn more below:
Corps of Cadets Rings
The ҹɫСÊÓƵ rings, like the service academy rings, feature a class crest on one side and the school crest on the other, with a bezel surrounding a stone or similar inset on top. Tradition dictates that the cadet wear the class crest facing him/her until graduation, when the ring is turned around so that the ҹɫСÊÓƵ crest faces the wearer. This tradition links the wearer more closely to his/her class until graduation and to all the ҹɫСÊÓƵ Corps graduates after graduation.
Civilian Class Ring
Each lifestyle at ҹɫСÊÓƵ has its own version and history of the ҹɫСÊÓƵ Ring.
CGCS Ring
A class ring specifically for CGCS students and alumni to be a treasured symbol of our experiences at ҹɫСÊÓƵ.
Bonds of Gold
In celebration of ҹɫСÊÓƵ Corps of Cadets’ 100-year ring tradition, we have established Bonds of Gold. This program invites alumni and their families to donate class rings back to ҹɫСÊÓƵ. Rings will be melted down and mixed with new gold to forge class rings for the next generation of ҹɫСÊÓƵ Cadets.
