Corps Day is a weekend in March celebrating the college’s founding. While the college was founded in December 1842, it wasn’t until March 20, 1843, that the first cadets reported. The anniversary is therefore calculated using 1843. In 2018, the college will be 175 years old.
Capitalize both “C’s” (and remember the “s” in “Corps”).
Formal course titles are capitalized.

Also known as the “mess hall,” the building is named for Col. Asbury Coward, an 1854 graduate who became college superintendent in 1890. The Regimental Commanders’ Riverview Room is on the top level. (Note the apostrophe in Regimental Commanders’ Riverview Room; the room is named for all of the regimental commanders and is therefore plural possessive.)
