Gillmore’s Record of Delinquencies at Annapolis

[image error]

Slapped with an increasing number of demerits for infractions ranging from skylarking to hazing to intoxication, Cadet Gillmore crossed the line in an alcohol-fueled incident on November 18, 1874 and was expelled from the Naval Academy. After the intercession of his family’s wealthy, politically-connected network of friends and business partners, however, Gillmore was taken back at Annapolis and given a final chance. The incident, and the associated demerits, were erased from his academic record, as seen above.
