Between 1802, when President Thomas Jefferson founded West Point, demerits were a common problem for many West Point Students. From 1802 until 1829, only Robert E. Lee never received a demerit. Demerits were handed out at West Point by the administrators for any number of offenses.These ranged from not cleaning their rifles to being late for chapel on Sundays. Lee was a perfect student and graduated second in his class of 1829.

As an aside, cadet Joseph Johnston was a classmate of Lee. Later, of course, Lee would command Johnston and many other West Point graduates in the US Civil War.
