New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell
Lead
The New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) in Roswell, New Mexico, was a military school founded around 1898 [4].
Marking its fortieth year in 1938 [4], the Institute held its thirty-ninth annual commencement in 1937, graduating ninety-eight young men [2]; its 1935 commencement had graduated eighty-six cadets, then the largest class [1]. By 1936–37 enrollment reached five hundred sixty cadets [5], and the Institute received a $4,600 Carnegie Corporation grant for library books [5]. The 1938 Homecoming drew visitors from fourteen states and Mexico [3]. In 1936 the War Department changed the definition of “honor graduate” from honor military schools, affecting NMMI’s West Point selections [6].
