The Post and Courier of Charleston, SC published several interesting historical sketches of The Citadel corresponding with the 175th anniversary of the institution's founding in 1842. Links to the articles follow later in this post.
You can also visit an anniversary page on The Citadel's web site for a timeline of key dates, vintage photographs, upcoming events, and other resources.
An excellent short YouTube video is also available, "Commemorating The Citadel's 175th Anniversary."
