[Trivia Master]

Other than West Point and Annapolis this school supplied more Union Civil War officers. Of the students who attended this institution between 1835 and 1865, two-thirds of them served in the War. Of the schools alumni, seven became major generals, sixteen brigadier generals, six commodores, and one rear admiral. Five of the former students were brevetted major general, nineteen brigadier generals, and four received the Medal of Honor. Four of the alumni served as generals or flag officers in the Confederacy.
