Summary
| Description |
English: George S. Patton, Virginia Military Institute Class of 1907, was the third generation of his family to attend VMI. His grandfather, Colonel George S Patton, CSA, VMI 1852 and grand uncle, Colonel Waller Tazewell Patton, CSA, VMI 1855, had died during the Civil War. His father, George S., had graduated from VMI in 1877. Young Patton came to VMI to fulfill the family military legacy, but transferred to West Point after one year. Graduating from West Point would assure Patton of receiving a direct commission in the U.S. Army, a goal he could not have been assured of graduating from VMI.

| Date | The date is wrong. Patton was only at VMI 1903-1904 yet the photo says 1907. He would have been class of 1907 if he'd stayed there but he switched to West Point. It's impossible for this photo to have been taken in 1907 at VMI as he was at West Point in 1907. |
