since it was organized, III lo47. 1t is entirety
free from the control or domination Of any
sect Or party, either political or religious. Eco
nomy in dress, by the adoption OF Il cheap Uni.

ed. Every student is required to select . col.
leoe 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 scieuce Of the
| West Point Academy, and OF Polytechnic III
%stitutes, with the classical literature of our
best colleges, adding the modern languages,
and superadding practical schools OF Law and
Engineering, nearly realizes the long-telt dcSi-
deratum Of a university able to meet the wants
of western progress-a university where all
NAV select u course of study to suit their time,
means, and professional destination.
NJ. Daviess, the Professor of Law, is known
in the various Courts as Il practitioner Of great
ability, varied learning, long experience, and
exalted character. His eminent qualifications,
the wholesome exercise and discipline Of the
lilSlIlult, clii tnC oiN(i opotl tttioi VI w
forms of judicial proceedings, offer unusual III
]ducements to those who are earnest to achieve
distinction as sound lawyers.
Civil Engineering
will be thoroughly and practically taught i'll the
Western Military Institute-the professor,
Col. Morgan, being one of the most skjlliul
and experienced Engineers in the United
States. All the instruments connected with
that department, have been procured at conal-
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 annlm
as principal Engineer Of railroad in Kentucky,
whilst others of the same class are receiving III
different parts Of the United States, 5000,
$1,000, or $1,000 a year as Assistant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when i'rcr"
will be Il great demand for such as have been
prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil
itary Institute. Nothing is haZardcd in. sayinr
that they will readily comnand SI2O0For ISL
500 per annum. Every man Of observation
must see that the gigantic enterprises already
proposed, will give birth to hundreds of o'hers,
tributary to them. The rapidadvancemcnt Of
our whole country, and the eagerness OF on
people, for exploring the hidden resources Of
the new States and the newly acquired terrific
r, will give ample scope for ages to come, 10 O..
the skill and enterprise Of the Engineer, the
Mineralogist, the Surveyor and the Architect.
Young men who have an aptitude for the MAJ
thcmatical and Physical sciences, will have 4
wide field opened to them for engaging in :l
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 Western Military Institute.
