Alumni Class Rings
The senior Class of 1923 started the ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ 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 ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ now has its own version and history of the ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ Ring. Learn more below:
Corps of Cadets Rings
The ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ 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 ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ crest faces the wearer. This tradition links the wearer more closely to his/her class until graduation and to all the ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ Corps graduates after graduation.
Civilian Class Ring
Each lifestyle at ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ has its own version and history of the ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ Ring.
CGCS Ring
A class ring specifically for CGCS students and alumni to be a treasured symbol of our experiences at ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ.
Ring Centennial Bonds of Gold
In celebration of ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ 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 ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ. Rings will be melted down and mixed with new gold to forge class rings for the next generation of ËÄ»¢Ó°ÊÓ Cadets.
