WEST POINT REGULATIONS.
The Board OF Visitors have enacted
code OF regulations, based practically
upon those OF West Point, and under
these and the regulations OF the mill
tary service. so far as applicable, a
regular routine OF duties is observed,
such as obtain and are enforced at the
United States military posts.
Under this infexible routine cadets are
trained to habits OF neatness. system,
order. and punctualIty, and acquire a
sense OF personal obligation and respon-
sibility. Their services as officers and
non-commssioned officers OF the compa-
nies, and of the guard; as sent!nels
with prescribed duties to perform and
orders TO enforce; as section marchers in
command OF class sections; az room or
derlies. tend TO cultivate discretion. tact,
and 10 control ones self. The drill
not only gives military training, but
affords healthful exercise, and promotes
physical strength and development. Mill
tary duties are so arranged as not to
conflict with or trench upon time set
apart for study and academic work. The
regulations and supervisons, while ex-
acting as to formal matters, do not ne
glect more serious interests. Moral de-
linquencies are visl ed with the s. verest
censure, condemnation. and discipline.
Effort is made to direct and control,
and by warning and reproof TO deter and
restrain those Who are found to be inclined
to evil courses. Regular monthly re-
ports advise parents or guardians as
TO the general conduct and diligence in
study Of their son or ward; special re-
ports are made as occasion requires.
