Summary This speech was delivered at the unveiling of the statue of Stonewall on the campus of Virginia Military Institute by Colonel R. P. Chew. In the spring of 1851, "Stonewall" Jackson accepted a newly created teaching position at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), in Lexington, Virginia. He became Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy and Instructor of Artillery. Parts of Jackson's curriculum are still taught at VMI, regarded as timeless military essentials: discipline, mobility, assessing the enemy's strength and intentions while attempting to conceal your own and the efficiency of artillery combined with an infantry assault. Despite the high quality of his work—he spent a great deal of time preparing in depth for each class meeting—Jackson was unpopular as a teacher. His students called him "Tom Fool."
