Word of Praise for Vermont Institution

General T.. w. Nichols, the veteran SUI
Iperintendent OF the Virginia Military in
stitute. in a recent address delivered be
fore the National Security League con.
gress in Washington. D. c., took occasion
to praise most highly one of Vermont's
oldest institutions. Not only did he take
occasion to praise it, but in his able pa
per on the subject of Military Training
/ in Schools" the Vermont institution was
the first one TO be mentioned. The fol-
| lowing is an extract from Gen. Nichols
paper:
"The American Scientific and Military
academy, the forerunner of Norwich uni
versity which was incorporated in 1884,
was founded by Capt Alden Partridge,
West Point graduate in 1919. It's mill
tary and academic activities have ex-
tended, therefore, throughout nearly a
century of time. Under Captain Par
fridge the development of the system
Of instruction peculiar at that time to
the United States Military academy, of
which he was not only a graduate, but
for many years professor and later a
superintendent, was continuous and pro-
gressive. Its patronage was -
confirmed in large measure to the New
England section and yet its graduates
became in time widely scattered and
served as pioneers in the development
of foundations similar to that of their
alma mater.
"In our various wars the record of
Norwich university men and through
them the record of the institution that
fostered and trained them has been
most praise-worthy.
SIN the Black Hawk war nine eleves of
this institution served as officers; in the
Seminole war seventeen; in the Mexican
war. fifty. In the Civil war-the fratri-
cidal strife of '6l-65-the services of
the eleves and graduates of Norwich uni
versity were peculiarly distinguished. For
the federal land forces it furnished five
hundred and four officers; for the con-
federate forces, thirty-four. For the fed |
eral navy eipaty-fve officers; for the |
confederate navy three officers and two
engineers; total for the armies and |
navies of the contending forces of 62s /
OF this number nine served as |
major generals, - as brigadier- generals,
20 as colonies, 81 as observation-disclosures,
