context_page_description: The United States Military Academy is an undergraduate college in West Point, New York with the mission of educating and commissioning officers for the United States Army. The list is drawn from non-graduate former cadets and cadet candidates. It is not unusual for the service academies to have high dropout rates. Of the original 103 cadets in the Class of 1826, only 43 graduated. Non-graduates of the Academy have entered a variety of fields. Notable non-graduates include Edgar Allan Poe, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Maynard James Keenan, Adam Vinatieri, and even the military: Jacob Zeilin, Lewis Addison Armistead, and Courtney Hodges.
