Sermon at VMI by Dr. G B Eager on Service
Dr. G B Eager of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary delivered the VMI commencement sermon in Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hall before cadets and a large audience. He urged duty and faith, noting Jesus dignified labor. The event featured music by the VMI orchestra and notable military displays including Butt’s manual and a Sham Battle. An effort to commission a painting of the Battle of New Market for Jackson Hall raised over $800 toward a $23,500 cost, planned for unveiling on the 50th anniversary in 1914.
