Abstract: The Cadet's Creed was written by a Norwich University professor in 1927 and is a key text for the university's present-day Corps of Cadets. This essay reflects on a unit in a Public Speaking class that explored the current and historical dimensions of the Creed, particularly the author's little-known connection to the Vermont Eugenics Survey. This text has a multimedia presence and can be found on the campus website, in published documents, on plaques, and also in spoken performance when cadets recite it to affirm their loyalty to Norwich and the Corps. Today, Norwich University has two student populations: military cadets who study alongside "civilian" students. Both groups were challenged yet ultimately affirmed by this difficult project. Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) approaches were used at three points: first, in guiding my analysis of this complex archival document; second, in classroom instruction; and finally, in reflecting on student reactions. The largely positive responses to this unit indicate that pedagogy informed by CDS can support students' participation in the challenging national conversation about historic institutional artifacts and their contemporary resonance.
