The Board of Visitors, in their report to

remark us follows:
in conclusion we have to say, in bearing
testimony to the value of the United States
Military Academy at West Point, US ma
tional institute. that the position Of the Uni
ted States as u first rate Power, requires that
she ask nothing by way of fnrbearance from
other nations. Hence it is that the people
of the United States should always be pre-
pared to apply to the active service OF the
army, every discovery and invention in the
art and science of war. These discoveries
and inventions are progressive, and are con-
stantly drawn from the experience OF the
nations. They are collected and taught ut
this Academy. So that the graduate goes out
to his duty as an officer fully instructed IN
the science and skill of the latest discoveries
in his profession. Touching the expendl-
ture by the government necessary to keep
up in the most effective order this Academy,
the Board of Visitors take this occasion to
record individually and collectively, their
