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 or domination OF any
sect or party, either political or religious. Eco
nomy in dress, bv the adoption Of Il cheap Uni
form, for winter and summer, is rigidly enforc-
ed. Every student is required to select Il col
lcge guardian, with whom all funds brought or
received must be deposited, and no debt must
be contracted without the consent OF such
guardian.
An institution combining the scicuce of the
West Point Academy, and of Polytechnic In
stitutes, with the classical literature Of our
best colleges, adding the modern languages,
and superadding practical schools Of Law and
Engineering, nearly realizes the lpng-felt desi.
deratum of a university able to meet the wants
Of western progrcss-a university Where all
NAV select a course of study to suit their time,
means, and professional destination.
Mr. Dayiess, the Professor Of Law, is known
in the various Courts as a practitioner Of great
ability, varied learning, long experience, and
exalted character. His eminent qualifications,

forms of judicial proceedings, offer unusual i'll
ducements to those who are earnest to achieyo
distinction 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 skillful
and experienced Engineers in the United
States. All the instruments connected with
that department, have been procured at consi-
derable cost, and of the best quality.
The superintendent takes the liberty of sta
ting that he is now offered 1915 per month for
competent assistant Engineers. One OF his for
mer pupils receives at present $4,000 per mum
as principal Engineer of railroad in Kentucky,
whilst Others Of the salne class are receiving an
different parts of the United States, $4,000,
$1,000, or $1,000 Il year as Assistant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will b. Il great demand for such as have been
prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil
itary Institute. Nothing is iazarded in saying
that they will readily command $1,000 or ST.
500 per annum Every man of observation
must see that the GIGANTIC enterprises already
proposed, will give birth to hundreds of others,
tributary to them. The rapidadyancement of
our whole country, and the cagerness of our
people, for exploring the hidden resources Of
the new States and the newly acquired terrific
ry, will give ample scope for ages to come, to
the skill and enterprise of the Engineer, the
Mineralogist, the Surveyor and the Architect.
Young men who have an aptitude for the Ma
thematical and Physical sciences, will have a
wide field opened to them for engaging in an
honorable, a hcalthful and lucrative pursuit, for
which they may be thoroughly and practically
qualified, in a short time, and at small expense,
at the Western Military Institute.
