HIGH SCHODL MH JUMDH COLLEGE p.j- -,.,. .. v 'ir,,,^^ W-'..- ' • WEMTWDHTHS PURPOSE

It is the purpose of Wentworth Military Academy to provide the best conditions possible for the all 'round development of worthy boys and young men.

To attain this high purpose, the Academy places greatest emphasis upon these four points:

First, it is the Academy's aim to assemble only the highest types of students—deserving youths of good parentage—to assure wholesome associations and greater progress. Every pre­ caution is taken to keep undesirable boys—all those that might prove detrimental to others— out of the Academy.

Second, to employ only men of highest character and ability for its faculty. It is not enough for a Wentworth faculty member to be merely scholarly and a splendid instructor. He must also possess a spirit of friendliness and a sincere desire to give kindly help whenever necessary. He must thoroughly understand the innermost problems of boys—be patient with them—and be ready to serve each boy to the best of his ability.

Third, to provide the very best equipment throughout every department to the end that every boy will have all those things necessary to his health and happiness and that none shall want for anything that will help him to make progress.

Fourth, to provide a program for each day that will best serve the interests of every student. "^ ^ p.

SIIVCE EIGHTEEIV EIGHTY One of the chief reasons why Wentworth has been able to achieve its lofty purpose lies in the fact that the Academy has been under one continuous administration since its founding. For nearly three-score years, Colonel Sandford Sellers was president of Wentworth. He enjoyed one of the most enviable records in the history of American education.

The Academy was founded by Stephen G. Wentworth, scion of a distinguished English family and a prominent Lexington banker, in 1880, as a memorial to his deceased son, William Wentworth. Mr. Wentworth immediately vested control of the institution in the hands of a board of trustees composed of a duly elected representative of each of the Evangelical churches of Lexington, and a president. Colonel Sellers was called to the new school In its first year and remained as its active head until 1938. Mr. Wentworth served as president of the Board from 1880 until his death in 1897.

It was the firm conviction of the founder, his board of trustees and President Sellers that a military boarding school provides the most effec­ tive possible means for giving young men the thorough mental, moral and physical training necessary to develop in them the highest traits of manhood. Thus, Wentworth became the first military school In the Mis­ souri River Valley. * Colonel James M. Sellers, A. B., Superintendent.

From the beginning the late President Sellers sur­ rounded himself with the ablest faculty available — strong men of proved qualities and Christian character. Under his wise and forward-looking direction, Went­ worth has grown steadily. Each year has shown marked improvement over the preceding year. Today Went­ worth stands as one of the truly great educational Institutions of our country—second to none in the op­ portunities it offers boys and young men for thorough preparation for professional studies, business and for life.

* Colonel L. B. Wikoff, A.B., S.B. in Ed. Treasurer and Business Manager. AlV HISTORIC BACKGRDUIVD

Throughout over half a century the Wentworth pur­ pose has remained unchanged. The ideals which led to the Academy's founding and which have carried it steadily forward, shine just as brightly today as ever: the desire to give each youth every oppor­ tunity to develop fully his own individual personality; the aim that every cadet shall acquire a keen sense of duty and responsibility, both to himself and toward others; that he shall have the mental and moral power to make accurate judgments between right and wrong and the physical power to stand by his con­ victions.

These high standards have dominated Wentworth for generations. But to maintain them and assure their *^The Missouri Old Santa Fe Trail full and continuous application, it has been found Marker in Lexington. necessary to limit the enrollment. Wentworth today is a relatively small school—many times larger than in 1880, to be sure, yet small enough that every indi­ vidual student is given the private attention so essen­ tial to his ail-'round development.

The surrounding country affords a wealth of his­ torically important Civil War sites and the town of Lexington itself retains much of the tradition of the old south. hHere, enthusiasm for the reminders of our * The Historic Old Court House in Lexington. country's glorious past is combined with the enthu­ Notice the cannon ball near the top of the first column—fired during the Civil War. siasm for modern adventure to promote the rapid de­ velopment of the boy's mental, moral and physical * A Beauty Spot on the Wentworth Campus. resources.

YESTERDAY Above is pictured the first company ever as­ sembled at Wentworth. From this humble begin­ ning, the Academy has marched forward over a trail of development that has placed it in the front rank of America's best military schools. and TODAY The Wentworth Military Academy of today is vastly different from the Wentworth of 1880. From year to year it has enlarged its facilities, Increased its enrollment and changed its physical appearance until there is little to remind one of the early days. Numerous modern and attractive buildings have been erected as they were needed. Old buildings have been torn away when they were no longer useful. Spacious military and athletic fields have been added. One of the finest gymnasiums in the country has been built. Every new method in teaching that has been found definitely superior to older methods has been adopted. Yet, some of the fundamental principles that guided the first company are adhered to just as strictly today.

MILITARY DEPARTMEIVT

ILITARY training at Wentworth has always been a strong M feature, but It Is never permitted to interfere with the scholastic work of the Academy. It can be shown, moreover, that military discipline has a decidedly advantageous effect upon classroom work.

In recognition of the superior military work done at Went­ worth, in 1889 the Academy became a post of the Missouri National Guard. Graduates of the Academy who resided in Mis­ souri, became eligible for commissions in this organization.

Wentworth has been under the direct supervision of the War Department of the United States Government since 1895, when the first active army officer was detailed to the Academy. This offi cer, assisted by active non-commissioned officers of the army, is in charge of all military work. In addition, the War Depart­ ment furnishes around $50,000 worth of equipment to be used for instruction purposes. Wentworth is one of the original hlonor Schools of the United States, the highest rating given by the War Department. The Academy has been a unit of the Reserve Of­ ficers' Training Corps from the time that organization was established. * This monument, erected on the campus by the

Alumni Association, to the memory of Went­

worth cadets who died in the World War, typi­

fies the spirit of brotherly friendship.

* Patriotism is no sham at Wentworth. Every

cadet is taught the real meaning of our flag.

Each day, with appropriate ceremonies, the Stars and Stripes are raised and lowered on the tower­

ing flag pole. •*• In this view of the main lobby of the Administration building cadets are shown admiring a replica of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution donated to Wen+wor+h by Emery-Bird-Thayer of Kansas City.

ADMimSTHATIDN BUILDING

Within Wentworth's Administration Building are handsomely fur­ nished parlors, corridors and reception rooms. Among its furnish­ ings and decorations students and guests alike find many articles of interest and rare beauty. Its comfortable furnishings amid peaceful surroundings afford a homelike atmosphere where the new cadet readily adapts himself to a wholesome, happy experience, hiere in an atmosphere of quiet dignity, every student is privileged to entertain his guests or to spend his leisure moments as governed by his daily schedule. None of the comforts of the modern home have been excluded in Wentworth's plan to provide the finest train­ ing and quarters available. * (Above) A corner of one of the impos­ ing parlors where cadets receive their guests.

SCHOLASTIC

Wentworth's new $80,000 Sellers-WIkoff Scholastic Building is the nucleus of the scholastic department. This magnificent sfrucfure contains one of the most splendid libraries possessed by any institution of this kind. Four completely equipped laboratories provide excellent facilities for the practical study of the sciences. In addition to class­ rooms for all classes, it houses the Dean's and Commandant's offices. It is with justi­ fiable pride that Wentworth points to this new achievement in its effort to provide up- to-the-minute methods and scholastic ac­ coutrements.

* The attractive library contains thousands of volumes, providing every necessary supplement to the student's texts and manuals.

* Commercial class rooms are large and well lighted and are equipped with modern business machines. The latest recog­ nized business methods are taught by competent instructors. * Sellers-Wikoff Scholastic Building.

* Geology is a science of particular interest to boys of the Midwest.

DEPARTMENT The scholastic department is divided into two separate and distinct units: 1^ the high school, which offers four years of preparatory work, and the junior college, which offers two years of lib­ eral arts and science. Each has its own organization separate from the other. Both divisions are fully accredited by the North Central Associa­ tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an organiza­ tion composed of the leading colleges and prepara­ tory schools in twenty states. This recognition means that graduates of either department are eligible to enter any institution in the United States that receives students by certification.

It is our aim to see that each cadet masters every lesson thoroughly. To accomplish this, every student is taught correct study methods and thoroughly schooled in correct uses of libraries and laboratories. ^The laboratory for Classes are small, averaging from 8 to 15 students, elementary classes in which permits individual attention. Most of the faculty chemistry provides members live in the buildings with students. They are many costly instru­ ments not provided for readily accessible for special help. From time to time in many schools but a personal study is made of each cadet to determine which Wentworth be­ his points of weakness and help him overcome them. lieves are important to the proper study of chemistry.

GDVEHIVMEIVT APPROVED C. P. T. COURSE Wentworth has participated In the Government Sponsored Civilian Pilot Training program since 1939. This training is open to students 19 years old, classified as college Sophomores, who have the consent of their parents. The thoroughly reliable government licensed instruc­ tors are qualified to provide the finest training of this type available. The Lexington airport, one of the best planned small airports in the Midwest, is situated in the Missouri River Valley which affords an exceptionally fine terrain for an air field. The three plane hanger located on the site houses the necessary equipment for training the young man in the fundamentals of aero­ nautics. Many of Wentworth's graduates have already gone into Government Aviation service after completing their advanced training at such places as Randolph Field and the Naval Training School at Pensacola.

i'M^ii, ArOii4i REVEILLE C/TO TAPS A D AY AT WEIVTWDRTH

|w I O TWO days at Wentworth are quite the same, for a widely varied program of schol-

astic, military, athletic and other activities is used to keep the interest of the cadets

at high pitch and their appetites for learning well whetted. Furthermore, no two students

have quite the same duties to perform throughout any given day. There is, however, a

definite routine that all cadets follow each day. It is used to instill perfect regularity and

promptness In attendance upon all duties prescribed for one and all cadets alike.

While it requires some adjustments for new students to become accustomed to this rou­

tine, any slight hint of monotony is soon lost in the kaleidoscopic whirl of the school year.

To give parents and others a better insight, the following pages have been used to set

forth, pictorially, the day's activities from Reveille to Taps, of a typical Wentworth boy

whom we will designate as Cadet Harlan. * Harlan—a typical Wentworth cadet (name and address furnished upon request).

ERE is Harlan, a typical Wentworth cadet—a fine young Amer­ H ican—manly, scholarly and upright. He is in his second year at the Academy and his respect for duty and responsibility has won for him the rank of sergeant. He may have come from a large city or a very small town—that makes no difference to the democratic spirit that prevails at Wentworth. He may be from a wealthy family or a family in meager circumstances—most of his classmates would never know, nor even be curious, unless he chose to tell them. But he typifies all the fine qualities of a deserving and ambitious youth as he goes through the tried and age-proved Went­ worth process of becoming a real man, a real asset to himself, his family and friends, and society as a whole.

Harlan, like all the others, participates in many activities besides those shown. But let's follow him through a typical day. * Harlan's first duty is a thorough, refreshing wash before breakfast.

'

After breakfast, rooms must be cleaned. One of the basic aims of our system is to form personal habits of order. Each morning Harlan makes his own bed, puts his clothes in order and helps his roommate clean the room.

makes up his 'n bed. Strict inspection of quarters is a daily routine. Formal inspec­

tion of Harlan's person, room and equipment occurs on Sunday

morning. At this time unusual care must be taken In cleaning the

room. Our friend sees that hidden corners are carefully dusted,

chairs polished, and everything put in order. Then he takes care

of his person. There's brass to shine, leather to polish, hair to brush,

and whiskers to be removed. A certain time is allotted for this

preparation and all work must be done within that time. This young

fellow knows that any deficiency in this work receives what is

known In Academy language as a "skin"—which counts against

one's company in color competition.

* Harlan Is ready •for the inspector — brass gleaming, shoes shined—room as clean as fhe proverbial "hound's tooth." * Here Harlan delves into things scientific. Modern equipment is provided for all laboratory work.

A T 8 O'CLOCK in the morning, classes convene. Har-

' » Ian makes his way to a small class on his schedule

where personal attention Is his at any time it Is needed.

Our cadet is carefully instructed in the handling of deli­

cate scientific equipment, hie is not forced to grope

blindly for Information. That which is true of the science

laboratories is equally true in all other classrooms.

Time passes rapidly in the classroom or laboratory

because the work is interesting. The scholastic day is

divided into two equal parts, with three classes in the

morning and three in the afternoon. * Our Cadet goes through a course of calisthenics to promote grace and health.

^^ALISTHENICS play an important role in the physical education of Cadet Harlan.

No effort is made to indulge in this or any other exercise in the early morn­

ing hours when the body is at its lowest ebb. All such exercises are taken by our

cadet after a hearty breakfast and morning classes. The exercises are intended to

promote graceful movement as well as better health. The calisthenics used by the

United States Army are followed. They are led by senior cadet officers.

So long as the weather permits, the calisthenics are held in the open, but they are taken in the large gymnasium, where an entire battalion may take part at the same time, when rain or cold is in the air.

* The eight excel­ lent tennis courts are always pop­ ular. * Cadet Harlan reports to the Professor of Military Science and Tactics for drill duty.

^NRILL is a very formal affair. It is on the drill field that Harlan learns much of courtesy, discipline *^ and alertness. hHe, with his entire battalion, is thoroughly schooled in good citizenship, taught the proper respect for superiors and trained in leadership.

Learning to drill a squad is the first training in leadership. Throughout the year squad drill and competition is a part of the regular military routine. The squad is the smallest military unit and con­ sists of nine men, one of whom Is a corporal and another a first class private. All instruction is con­ ducted by cadets under the personal supervision of members of the military faculty.

Although military work takes but one hour each day, the training is intensive and much more thorough than that found in larger units. Personal attention is given the individual cadet on the military field as well as in the classroom, and each cadet has an equal chance to advance to import­ ant positions in Wentworth's military realm. In the army, the navy and the marine corps Wentworth is glorified by its alumni who have received their commissions and are distinguishing themselves in official capacities of these respective branches of service. Like many other cadets, hlarlan finds the extended order drill more interesting. This drill consists of combat methods. He is taught to make use of cover, to advance and to fire. No actual firing is done during this drill, however, for all the ammunition used is dummy material.

Initiative and leadership are required in this work. Situations arising in the problems furnished by the War Department call for quick think­ ing and immediate action.

Here our typical cadet finds extended order drill interesting and instructive. * BREAKFAST

Meals are care­ fully planned to suit the needs of all cadets. They are healthful and nutri­ tious and just what active, hard-work­ ing boys require. Meal times are at 7:00 In the morning, 12:10 and 6:10. This schedule Is varied only on Sunday, when dinner becomes a more elaborate meal served at 12:30. After dinner there is a recreation period during which hHarlan and other cadets may do pretty much as they choose. At this time there is a rush for the cadet post office. Every cadet is assigned a mail box and mail Is de­ livered twice daily. The recreation room is also a popular place at this time. " '•' 3^-*i^.^''.J»f'JV'P»p"t''l ''ti|P|iPS/i1i!!-F -

• (Below) "We must get in there and fight!" says Harlan as he makes a short "pep" talk on the eve of a game.

ADET hHARLAN attends an interesting, in­ C formative and inspirational meeting in the chapel, immediately following lunch. These meet­

ings are conducted by the Academy Chaplain,

but are not strictly religious. Travel talks,

health lectures, scientific demonstrations and

short sermons, presented by outstanding speak­

ers, are frequently on the program. The serv­

ice is opened with a hymn, prayer and respon­

sive readings, and closed with the singing of

"Wentworth," the Academy song.

"Pep" meetings, preceding important ath­

letic contests, are also held In the chapel. These

are always occasions of great fun. Students and

faculty make rousing speeches. The cadet band

furnishes gay, martial music and everyone antic­

ipates the big game on the morrow. Athletic

contests are important recreational events. Every

cadet attends them. r^wrr.

* While a majority of the faculty members live in the barracks with cadets, some live in residences such as this on the campus.

*Ali shined up for Sunday inspection.

* Our Cadet receives personal attention from a faculty member in the library.

^ERSONAL attention is not confined to the ' classroom nor to the evening study periods. hHarlan and many other cadets seek assistance in the spacious Academy library. The faculty offi­ cer in charge is always ready and willing to help any student, no matter what his problem. What­ ever the subject, the faculty officer is qualified to give the guidance needed.

Wentworth's library is one of the most import­ ant places on the campus. It contains more than 5,000 books on nearly every subject one could imagine. Reference books include the famous Ox­ ford English Dictionary and many sets of encyclo­ pedia. * In winter months our boy turns his attention to basketball and other indoor sports.

RAINING for leadership is important on the football field as well as everywhere else Ta t Wentworth. More than fifty cadets answer the varsity call each year and large squads turn out for company teams. All players receive intensive training, both in the art of the game and in clean sportsmanship.

Football ranks as the number one sport, and the Red Dragon elevens are consistent win­ ners. The fine spirit of players and corps is credited with being a strong determining factor in every contest.

In the winter months basketball comes into the spotlight. Again there are the varsity and company teams and a place for every cadet who desires to play. Home games are played in the spacious gymnasium where there are two courts and ample space for spectators.

Wentworth Is a member of the Missouri Junior College conference, an athletic asso­ ciation numbering ten schools as members. Almost every major and many minor sports are on the Wentworth program—all played under competent coaches—and every cadet is required to participate. •yiMi.agt'-^"

* The gymnasium is 220 x 55 feot. It contains two regular basket ball courts, a large stage, a swimming pool 20 x 60 feet, locker rooms, showers and gymnastic equipment.

'HE sparkling, crystal-clear water of the swimming pool is inviting Tt o cadets the year 'round. The pool is of regulation size (20x60) and is the scene of frequent water sports and aquatic meets. It is the purpose to teach every cadet to swim well. The water is warmed to a healthful temperature and kept pure by efficient filtration and chem­ ical treatment. * The orchastra provides musical diversion both for members of the group and the corps.

Just before the evening study period is the favorite tune-in time for Cadet hHarlan and other radio devotees. Permis­ sion to have a radio in the room is re­ garded a privilege, the abuse of which causes the student to lose this favor.

After thirty-five minutes of recreation following the supper hour, evening study is begun at 7 o'clock. Each cadet retires to his own room for a two-hour period of quiet. There is no stuffy, noisy hall in which cadets are confined. Instead, indi­ vidual initiative is encouraged. Faculty of­ ficers are in constant attendance through­ out the period, giving advice where it is needed and encouragement at all times. .I^'-K'v,-^;.

^TAPS, at which time all lights must be turned
