[edit] What is "dux"?

So the word (rank?) "dux" is linked to the Wikipedia page for "Dux", but I see not explanation as for what this means within the Salvation Army. Someone should explain it within the Dux article or within this one. (In Latin the word usually meant "king", and is the basis for the English "duke").

From the last paragraph of the referenced article

In English and other languages, dux is also a modern title given to the top academic student in a graduating class of a school, used in Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and Iceland, similar to the American concept of a valedictorian; compare also dean's list.

it would appear that he graduated at the top of his class. JimCubb 17:33, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

It means the top of the class... The cadet is similar to an ordinary academic class, when it comes to such terms. --DarkFalls talk 03:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
