Strength of the
Cadet Corps.

The United States Military Academy at West Point was founded in 1802. Each Congress district and Territory, he District of Columbia and Porto Rico is entitled to have one cadet at the academy. Each state is also entitled to have two cadets at the academy from the state at large. Forty are also appointed from the United States at large. The appointments (except those from the United States at large and from the District of Columbia) are made by the Secretary of War at the request of the Senator, Representative or Delegate in Congress; and the person appointed must be an actual resident of the state, district or territory from which the appointment is made. The appointments from the United States at large and from the District of Columbia especially conferred by the President. The number of cadets authorized under this apportionment was 529 in 1910, but when Arizona and New Mexico are admitted as states the authorized number will be increased to 534. The attendance at the Military Academy is much below the proper strength of the corps. At the beginning of the academic year 1910-'11 there were only 413 cadets on the rolls. In order to remedy this condition Congress provided in the Military Academy Appropriation act, approved April 19, 1910, that for six years from July 1, 1910, whenever any cadet shall have finished three years of his course his successor may be appointed. Appointments are required by law to be made one year in advance of the date of admission, and may be made either after competitive examination or given direct, at the option of the Representative. For each candidate appointed there Qualifications. may be nominated two alternates, who will be examined with the regular nominee, and one of whom may be admitted in the event of the latter's failure to pass the prescribed preliminary examinations. Appointees to the Military Academy must be between seventeen and twenty-two years of age at date of admission, at least five feet three inches in height, weigh 100 pounds, be unmarried, free from any infectious or moral disorder, and, generally, from any deformity, disease or infirmity; must be well versed in reading, in writing (including orthography) in arithmetic, and have a knowledge of the elements of English grammar, of descriptive geography (particularly of the United States), and of the history of the United States. The course covers four years.

The principal subjects taught are mathematics, French, drawing, tactics of all arms of the service, natural and experimental philosophy, chemistry, mineralogy, geology and electricity, history, international, constitutional and military law, Spanish, and civil military engineering and science of war. Academic duties commence September 1 and continue until June 1. Examinations are held in each December and June, and cadets deficient in either conduct or studies are discharged. From about the middle of June to the end of August cadets live in camp and receive practical military instruction. The pay of a cadet is $600 a year. Upon graduating cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants.

The Military Academy appropriation act, approved April 19, 1910, contained the following rovisions concerning hazing: "The Superintendent of the United States

Military Academy, subject to the approval of the Secretary of War, shall Hazing. make appropriate regulations for putting a stop to the practice of hazing.

such regulations to pr scribe dismissal, suspension or other adequate punishments for infractions of the same, and to embody a clear definition of hazing. Any cadet who shall be charged with offenses under such regulations which would involve
