West Point Cadet Douglas MacArthur and his mother,
Mary Pinkney Hardy MacArthur. His father, Maj. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, soon to become the army’s
highest-ranking officer, remained in the Philippines when his son entered West Point in 1899. His mother,
however, took up a two-year residence in the West Point Hotel,
rejoining her husband upon his return from the Philippines in 1901.
