First Military button

[jjg70]

Went out for about an hour today and found a button. Still havent looked thru the Albert book yet to see exactly what it is. Above the eagle it says CADET and below is K.M.I. On the back is Scovill Mfg Co and a word with WAT in the beginning of it.
Next item is a medallion of some sort. It says Northwestern University 1815 around edge, inner ring says QUAECUMQUE-SUNT-VERA

Nice button. It is a post war Kentucky Military Institute button.

I have an undug button exactly like the KMI button. Does anyone have any idea how much it's worth?
