Graduating exercises held at the West Point Military Academy on June 11, 1919. 275 cadets were awarded diplomas, making it one of the most impressive commencement day ceremonies in the institution's history. The band passed in review, followed by the officers who received their diplomas. These officers had previously graduated on November 1, 1918, due to the ongoing war, but returned for a post-graduate course after the signing of the armistice. They officially received their diplomas on June 11, 1919.
