| KENSINGTON. Md. June 16. 1904.
| There is to be established here in the near
| future military college. Mr.. Brainard H.
| Warner. who has the project in hand.
states that steps have been taken toward
| the establishment Of such a school which.
I when organized, will be under a corpora
! ton.
I'VE have selected one of the best sites"
| he said. that can be found hereabouts.
| 1t Is the tract Of land just outside the
northern limits of the town known as the
Barracks. which by reason of its elevation,
overlooks kensingtOn and many miles Of
beautiful country on all sides. A prelimi-
nary servey Of the ground has been made
| by Prof. Corbett Of the Department of Ag-
riculture and a more thorough one to in
clude the location of building, etc, will
be made shortly"
Mr.. Warner further stated that the propo-
sition had been under consideration for
some time for the establishment of such an
institution which besides the regular aca-
dem1c courses. would embrace destinct
military feature. Agricultural instructions
also will be included.
1t Is is our purpose" he said, Ito make
the tuition fee low enough to attract the pa
tronage of people of moderate means who
want their boys to have a thorough course
OF instruction, out not as prolonged as the
regular common school and high school
features of the project which it is more de-
slrable to consider later and for this rea-
son the fun scope Of our plans have not
been fully developed, but it is Thought
that two buildings will be shortly COM
menced."
