“The Institute's code of honor is a simple one. A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do. It is a simple code, but it is a stern code. There are no second chances here.

America needs Institute men! Men you are not now. But for those of you who have the courage to remain- men you shall become.”
