Citadel History

A more detailed history of The Citadel prepared by The Citadel Alumni Association History Committee.

Have you ever noticed the many memorial stones scattered about The Citadel campus? I have and have felt compelled to respectfully read their terse, poignant dedications to fallen cadets. The stories of these fine young men form a significant part of what goes into making The Citadel’s history so cherished and so honorable.

All Citadel students are encouraged to refresh their memories regarding the Constitution during this time of commemoration by reviewing this document.
