Sunny skies and cooling breezes marked
the opening OF the Nebraska Military
academy at Lincoln last Thursday. Since
Saturday Of the preceding week boys had
arrived daily, until the opening day found
some seventy-five cadets on hand, ranging
In age from 8 to % years, coming from as
far west az Tacoma, and as far east as
Peoria, Ill. Wyoming, Colorado Iowa
and Kansas all have their Representatives,
Although the greater number come. as one
would expect. from Nebraska
Since the new building IL not quite COM
pleted, the academy opened temporarily in
the Convent building, which it occupied
last year. Large tents were erected near
the building TO supply additional sleeping
quarters; and while this semi-camp life
bioves very attractive 10 the boys, they will
be more than ready to move into their
beautiful now home, west Of town.
Classification Was begun at once and
clasHwork started promptly under the sup
ervision OF the head master, Mr.. Marshall
ID. Crouch, who is ably assisted by a corps
OF experienced instructors, each a special
list in the subjects which he teaches. This
promptness In organization BY the faculty
VAS matched by equal activity among the
boys, who are planning already for the
foot ball season and looking forward TO
the indoor sports to follow later In the year.
The debating squads and the band also
claim their share Of attention, and will do
much to vary the monotony OF classroom
work during the winter months.
While the academy gladly welcomes its
new cadets, It does not forget it's gradu-
ates OF last year. and points with pride
to the record Of the five young men who
received diplomas on the evening of June
IA. Two Of these will come to the Uni
yersity OF Nebraska, one will 60 to the
University OF Michigan, one will enter the
Lincoln Dental college, while one accepted
a position in an Omaha bank and went to
work Immediately after graduation.
Academy boys work hard during working
hours and play hard in playtime. and
through their varied activities they form
habits OF promptness, thoroughness and ac-
curaoy which help toward success in what
ever field they may enter.
