The Daily Routine.
They are at all times under strict
military discipline. Their uniform is
that of the regular army and an hour s
drill is required every day excepting
Saturday and Sunday The daily
routine begins with reveille at six
O'Clock, police call and inspection OF
quarters; breakfast; drill; prayers;
study and recitation hours; supper;
retreat; study hours; taps at 10
y. N.
The curriculum in the academic
department includes courses in civil
engineering, arts, chemistry, science,
and literature. The military course
includes exercises, drills or lectures
daily for four years, including setting
up drill, manual of arms, school Of
the company; bayonet exercises,
manual of the sword, artillery drill,
signalling, military science and art
of war, customs of the service and
camping With their annual "hikes "
their biennial visits to Montpelie'
when the Legislature is in session,
their trips to the State Fair and other
public appearances the people of the
appearance of the cadets and can ap-
preciate and understand the value
of the military drill. In the short
time that intervenes between the
opening of the fall term and the
holding of the State Fair the green
men are uniformed and drilled suf-
ficiently so that they can make a
creditable appearance in the maneuv-
ers. The loose jointed, long gated
boy from the farm, and the thin
chested, stoop-shouldered boy FROM
the city, acquire shape, poise and
carriage from the drill to which they
are daily subjected and nine out OF
ten of the cadets are hard as nails,
sound as bullets and free from dis
ease as a Christian Scientist.

SO distinguished were the services
rendered during the war by the Off

university, that in 1870 the Legisla-
ture authorized the enlistment of the

ter, the institution was made the mil

time of the Spanish War when over
ninety per cent of the graduates
since 1880 volunteered to serve ii
any capacity.
About the time that war opened
the affairs of the university were not
in the most prosperous condition.
Dewey's victory at Manila called at
tention to the little institution, the
nursery of soldiers, up here among
the green hills. But Dewey was not
the first Norwich man to win honor
ahoat. Josiah Tatnall, who origin
ated that famous saying, Blood is
thicker than water" in explanation o.
his aiding the British in their con-
flict with the Chinese at Pei-Ho, was
a graduate of the class of '23 Rear
Admiral Charles G.. Carpenter, so,
commanded the Asiatic squadron
during the war between China and
Japan. Rear Admiral Paulding was
graduate of '23 and Capt Ward,
of the same class, was instrumental
in organizing the Naval Academy at
Annapolis.

active service. OF course the normal
boy takes naturally to gun and
sword and the training at Norwich
may seem good deal like play ct
first, but before four years of rigid
discipline and hard training are end
ed the course becomes serious
work.
The inspection by officers of the
United States army is thorough and
without favor. Officers of the Ma
tional Guard know how thoroughly
their companies are inspected, and
they realize that the same thorough
ness is applied to Norwich. Common
dalton from the inspecting officers

to visit Norwich University" IF it
be thought that the tone of this re-
port is enthusiastic, that is as / in
tend it, l consider that this little COL
lege with its small numbers and re-
sources is giving an immense return
cadet rifles and the services of Capt.
Hovey as professor" This is certain
ly one of the very best military
schools in the country" What sur
prises me perhaps more than any
other single thing was the scrupulous
attention to military etiquette" "All
in all this military department is in
highly satisfactory condition and a
most valuable asset to the govern
ment"
But while special stress is laid on
the military training and instructor,
that is not the only feature of the
school that entities it to considera-
ton. 1t was the idea of Capt. Par
fridge that our country would always
to large extent be depended for de-
fence on it's citizens soldiery, and that
therefore young men ought to be
trained in the art of war; but he also
believed that their other education
should not be neglected. He was not
only a highly trained military man,
hn +ha, ~,
in the country in his day, but he was
proficient in and taught other branch
es besides the military art. Prof.
Marsh, who joined the faculty when
the school was first opened, was dis
tingushed as a philologist as we'll
as diplomat, and Gen. Jackmau,
whose name will ever shed lustre on
the institution was a distinguished
mathematician. 1t has always been
the aim of the instructors to have the
school give complete and thorough
course of instruction.
Nor have all the graduates who
have won distinction gained honors
in military life. Distinction as great
has come to civilians
Engineers Graduated.
Among the distinguished engineers
sent out from Norwich are Edwin f.
Johnson, chief engineer of the North
ern Pacific and engineer of other i'm

engineer for part of its construc-
tom Monoure Robinson, engineer for

who constructed the first trans-con-
tinental wagon road across the Rocky
Mountains to California. In face
there is hardly railroad enterprise
in the country or in the countries to

have not had a prominent and cred
liable part.

buildings and place them at the dis
posal of Capt. Partridge.
He moved there in April, 1925, and
at the opening of the fall term had an
attendance of 297 students They came
from every State in the Union, from
Canada, the South American States
and the West Indies.
But Capt. Partridge had larger ideas
than conducting a private academy,
however successful. He tried to Sc
cure a charter from the Connecticut
Legislature giving his school the stat
us of college and authority to con-
fer degrees, but was unsuccessful So,
disappointed in this, he closed the
school at Middletown after four years
and returned to Norwich to reoccupy
the old buildings.
Return to Norwich.
Again there was war on one side of
the Connecticut river and peace on
the other. There was no hostility be-
tween the institution of learning at
Norwich and that at Hanover, across
the river, but there was war between
the students and frequent clashes.
Dartmouth tradition has it that the
college always came out ahead, but
there remains one story of a fight in
the bridge that lasted two days, so
that If the Norwich boys were defeat
ed they were no mean antagonists.
The battle of the torn coats" fought
on the Dartmouth side of the river,
however, is agreed to have been won
by Norwich,

is entitled to appear on a roll of
honor and only a few of those who
have won military renown can be
mentioned. Gen. Grenville NJ. Dodge
commanded the sixteenth army corps
in the Civil War and won high praise
from his superiors. Among many
sons of Gen. Ransom, Admiral George
Dewey, Frederick w. Lander, who
as brigadier general commanded
on the upper Potomac, Gen. George
p Buell., Col. Edmund Rice, said By
Gen. Miles to have had the best
drilled regiment in the army of the
Potomac. Gen. w. S. Harvey Gen.
Thomas H. Seymour, Gen. Robert H.
Milroy, Gen. N. B. Gleason and so on
through long list. 1t would re-
quire large volume to recite the
achievements, in military and civil
life, of the men who had their early
instruction at Norwich University.
Removal to Mortified.
The buildings at Norwich were the
north and south barracks. The lat
ter was the principal building, being
used for dormitory purposes and Of
ficers quarters. This was burned in
March, 1866. Citizens of Mortified
offered land and buildings and the
university was again removed from
Norwich. The old north barracks
has been converted into high school
building, and the university in its
new location, with the fresh encour-
agement given it in recent years, has
far better equipment of buildings
and other necessary adjuncts than
Capt. Partridge ever dreamed Of
The buildings comprise Alumni Hail.
Barracks No. !, Dewey Hall, Carnegie
Hall and the drill hall, and in addi-
ton to these a handsome new build
ing is nearly completed which will

The Teaching Force.
From 1870 to 1895 the university
was without an active president most
of the time. Rev. Allan d. Brown
who had served with credit in the
Navy and reached the rank of COM
ander, was secured for president
tha Alumni Association of poc+on
having raised sufficient funds. The
present president is Charles H. Spoon
er, himself a graduate of the univer-
sity, whose high attainments and
great executive ability have placed
the institution in more prosperous
circumstances than ever before

Military Standing.

The military standing OF the uni
versity has always been recognized
by the highest authorities. Gen
Sherman said of 1t that at one time
it almost riyaled the academy at
West Point, AS it was the first mil
itary school in the country, outside
West Point, so it is now the only
military collegiate institution in New
England to which a regular army Of
ficer is detailed. The influence OF
these men on the student body has
been great and beneficial. Tutherly
and Hovey and Chapman, and Gen.
o. o. Howard as an occasional lee
turer have given the students an
idea of what soldering really means
and the military instruction is of the
thorough character to fit the boys for
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-02-10

whom they could engage in fierce
but bloodless contests. Today they
have to take it out" in foot ball and
basket ball.

This, with courses in botay, miner
alogy and chemistry, was large siz-
ed course for the small faculty. The
teaching corps at first was made up
of Capt. Partridge, superintendent and
professor of mathematics, philosophy
and military science; George p Marsh
(afterward a well known diplomat)
professor of languages; Rev. Rufus
W. Bailey, chaplain and professor of
ethics; Il. B. Williston, professor of
English; John NJ. Partridge, profess
sor of practical geometry, topography
and acting sword master.
Acting on an idea that is only now
receiving recognition by professional
educators, the students were not re-
quired to spend any specified time in
completing the course. They finished
it in one or six years as their capac-
ity or previous knowledge made pos
sible
The present annual hike" of the
cadets is a Renaissance of the days
of Capt. Partridge, when marches or
scientific excursions were frequently
taken under his direction. One re-
membered march was by rail to Win
ooski, then to Burlington, by boat
to Ticonderoga; and another, to Clare
mont, N. H., to give an exhibition
drill the same year. In 1926 a de-
tachment from the old academy
marched to Poughkeepsie, n. Y, and
sailed to West Point, where they en-
gagged in a competitive drill with the
cadets, then went to New York. Phil
adelphia Baltimore and to Washing
ton, where they were reviewed by the
President.
Removal to Connecticut.
But while the school was successful
in one sense it was still burdened with
debt, and when a desirable offer was
made to remove it to Middletown, Ct.
it was accepted. The Episcopalians OF
that State were planning to establish
college and citizens of Middletown
raised liberal subscription but fail
ed to secure it. The college was es-
tablished at Hartford and is still
known as Trinity College. They
therefore offered to erect suitable
