This bronze VPI Corps of Cadets belt buckle (n.d.) given to Henry Wiss by Nelson Price is engraved with an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons and a banner in its beak that reads "E PLURIBUS UNUM" over its head. The eagle has a shield on its torso and stars and stripes radiate around it. There is a silver-colored laurel branch on the buckle under the eagle.
