Two hundred and thirty Cadets, from fifteen
different States, have entered this Institution
since it was organized, in 1917. 1t is entirely
free from the control domination of any sect
or party, either political or religious Economy

Winter and. Summer, is rigidly enforced. .,Ev-
cry student is required to select College guar
dian, with whom all funds broughtor received
must be deposited, and no debt must be contract
ed without the consent Of such guardian.
An Institution combining the science of the
West Point Academy and of Polytechnic Insti-
tutes, with the classical literature of our best
Colleges, adding the modern languages, and SUI
pei adding practical schools of Law and Engi-
neering, nearly realizes the long-telt desidera-
tUm OF university able TO meet the wants of
Western progress-a, university where all may
select course of study to suit their time, means
and professional destination.
Mr.. DAyIEss, the Professor of Law, is known
in the various Courts practitioner OF great
ability, varied learning, long experience and eX-
allied character. His eminent qualifications, the
wholesome exercise ami discipline OF the lnsti-
tute, and the convenient observation OF the forms
of judicial proceedings, offer unusual induce
ments to hose who are earnest to achieve dis
ltinction as sound Lawyers. ~ ai- %. q u SCI

Will be tlor0RghLy and Practlcqlly taught in
the Western Military Institue-the Professor,
Col. MORGAN, being one of the most skillful and

The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is now offered Ss75 per month, for compe-
tent assistant Engineers One OF his former pu-
pils receives at this time, 81, 500 per annum, as
Principal Engineer OF Railroad now under
construction in Kentucky-whilst others of the
same class are receiving in different parts of the
United States, $4,000, $500, or $1,000 year as
Assistant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be a great demand Tor such as have been
prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mill
iary institute. Nothing is haZarded in saying
they will readily command $1,000 $500 per
annum. Every man OF observation mIst see
that the gigantic enterprise already proposed, will
give birth to hundreds of others, tributary to
them. The rapid advancement OF our whole
country, and the eagerness Of our people, Tor ex-
ploring the hidden resources Of the new States
and the newly acquired territory, will give am
pie scope Tor ages 10 come, to the skill and enter
prise OF the Engineer, the Geoogist, the Mine
ralogist the Surveyor and the Architect. Young
men who have an aptitude for the Mathematical
and Physical sciences will have a. wide field
opened to them for engaging il. an honorable, a
healthful and lucrative pursuit, for which they
may be thoroughly and practically qualified, IN
short time, and at small expense, at the Wes-
tern Military Institute.
