Two hundred and thirty Cadets from fifteen
different States, have entered this Institution
since it was organized, in l847. 1t is entirely
free from the control or domination of any sect
or party, either political or religious. Economy
in dress, in the adoption of a cheap Uaiform, for
Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Ev-
cry student is required to select a College guar
dian, with whom all funds brought OF. 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
peladding practical schools of Law and Engi-
.neering, nearly realizes the Iong-telt desidera-
tum of a 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. DAvIEss, the Professor of Law, is known
in the various Courts as practitioner Of great
ability, varied learning long experience and ex-
allied character. His eminent qualifications, the
wholesome exercise and discipline of the Insti-
tute, and the convenient observation of the forms
OF Judicial proceedings, offer unusual induce
ments to those who are earnest to achieve dis
tinction as sound Lawyers.
Civil Engineering
Will be thoroughly and practically taught in
the Western Military Institute-the Professor,
Col. MORGAN, being one of the most skiilful and
experienced Engineers in the United States. All
the instruments connected with that department,
have been procured at considerable cost, and of
the best quality aHf mn ht"
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is now offered 1915 per month, for compe-
tent assistant Engineers. One of his former pu-
pills receives at this time, 50, 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, 1880, or $1,000 year as
Assistant Engineers. ...-..,..as
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be great demand for such as have been
prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mill
tary institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying
they will readily command $1,000 or $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, for ex-
plOring the hidden resources of the new States
and the newly acquired territory, will give am
pie scope Tor ages come, to the skill and enter
prise OF the Engineer the Geologist, the Mine
ralOgist, the Surveyor and the Architect. Young
men who have an aptitude for the Mathematical
and Physical sciences, will have wide field
opened to them for engaging in an honorable, a
healthful and lucrative pursuit. for which they
may be thoroughly and practically qualified, in
a short time, and at small expense, at the Wes-
tern Military Institute. ....t f......f...q
