The Civil War is known as a West Pointers' war. While the achievements of U.S. Military Academy alumni in the war are beyond dispute, few students of the conflict are aware of the Union's "other" military college, 177-year-old Norwich University.
Capt. Alden Partridge (1785-1854), an alumnus and former superintendent of West Point, founded the university in his native Norwich, Vt., on Aug. 6, 1819. It is the nation's first and oldest private military college and is recognized as the birthplace of today's Reserve Officer Training Corps concept.
