The First Corps of Cadets of Massachusetts formed in 1741. Its motto is “Monstrat Viam” (It Points the Way).  While it has served in several wars, the sub-unit's primary contribution to Massachusetts and to the United States was as an officer-producing institution for new regiments from the Revolutionary War through World War II.

Here is a cast brass belt plate with central 6-pointed star device. Upon the star is an oval bearing the motto, “MONSTRAT VIAM 1741” and a cross within the oval. Plate measures 3 5/8” wide (including belt loop) x 2 5/8” tall. Back has small belt hook 3/8” wide.  Bright finish and in excellent condition.  [jet]
