INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE APPOINTMENT AND ADMISSION OF CADETS TO THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY.

APPOINTMENTS. EachCongresslonalDistrictand Territory—alsothe District ofColumbia Row made. —is entitled to have one Cadet at the Academy. Ten are also appointed at large. The appointments (except thoseat large) are made by the Secretary of War at the request of the Representative, orDelegate, in Congress from the District or Territory and the person appointed must bean actual residentofthe District orTerritory from which the appolntmentis made. The appointments at large are specially conferred by the President of the United States. Applications can bemade at any time, by letter to the Secretary of War, Mannerof making tohave the nameofthe applicantplaced uponthe registerthat itmay befur- applications. nished to the proper Representative, or Delegate, when a vacancy occurs. The application must exhibit the full name,dateof birth,and permanent abode of theapplicant, withthe number of the Congressional District in which his residence is situated. Appointments are required by law to be made one year inadvanceof the Date ofappoint. date ofadmission, except in caseswhere,byreason of deathorother cause,a ments. vacancyoccurs which cannot beprovidedforbysuch appointmentin advance. Thesevacan- cies are filledin timefor the next annual examination. The Representative, or Delegate, in Congress may nominate a legally Alternates. qualified second candidate, to be designated the alternate. Thealternate will receive from the War Department a letter of appointment, and will be examined with the regular ap- pointee, andif dulyqualified will beadmitted tothe Academyin the eventof the failure ofthe principalto pass the prescribedprehiminaryexaminations. Thealternate willnot beallowed to defer his reporting at West Point until the result of the examination of the regular ap- pointeeis known,but must report at the time designated in his letter ofappointment. The alternate, like the nominee, should be designated as nearly one year in advance of date of admission as possible. - ADMISSION OF CADETS. A candidate upon receiving his aonditional appointment is ordered to report at West Point to the Superintendent of the Military Academy in time to appear before the Aca- demic Board for examination at its meeting early In June, unless there be good reasons for designating another time. The candidate, soon after his arrival at West Point, is subjected to a rigid physical examination by a Board of experienced Surgeons of the Army. If he passes suceessfully this examination, he Is then examined by the Academic Board. These examinations are made with as little delay as practicable after the candidate reports to the Superintendent. The candidate who passes successfully these examinations is admitted, at once, to the Academy without returning to his home. Immediately after his admission, and before receiving his warrant of appointment, he is required to sign an engagement for service in the following form, in the presence of the superintendent, or of some officer deputed by him: I, ——-~, of the State(or Territory) of—,aged--———years-—-——months, do hereby 34 18L10 engage(with the consent of my parent or g,iardian) that, from the date of myadmission as a Cadet of the United States Military Academy. I will serve in the Army of the United States for eight years, unless sooner dischargedby competent ammthority. in the Presence of Andthe Csndidate shall then takeand subscribe anoath or .3ffirmatlonin the following form: “I,———, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States, andbear true adegia -cc to tue National Goverimment; that I will mimaintain amid de- fend the sovereignty of the United States, paramount to anyandall allagiasice, sovereignty, or fealty I may owe to any State, County, or country whatsoever m and that I will at all times obeythe legalorders of mny superior officers, and the rules and articles governing the Armies of the United States.” Sworn and subscribed, at ———, this ——day of —eighteen hundrid am:d —— before me. Qualifications. The age for the admission of Cadets to the Academy is between seven- teen and twenty-two years. Candidates must be unmarried, at least five feet in height, free from any infectiousorimmoral disorder, andgenerally, from any deformity, disease, or infirmity which may render them unfit for mifitary service. They 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 our own country) andof the history of the United States.

CHARACTER OF EXAMINATIONS.* PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. Every candidate is subjected to a rigid physical examination, and if there is found to exist in him any of the following causes of disqualification to such a degree as would immediately orat no verydistant period impairhis efficiency, he is rejected: 1.—Feebleconstitutionandmusculartenuity; unsound healthfrom whatevercause m indica-, tions of former disease glandular swellings, or other symptoms of scrofula. 2.—Chroniccutaneous affections, especially ofthe scalp. 3.—Severe injuries of the bonesof the head; convulsions. 4.—Impaired vision, from whatever cause; inflammatoryaffections of the eyelids m immo- bility or irregularity of the iris; fistula lachrymalis, Ac., Ac. 5.—Deafness; copious discharge from the ears. 6.—Loss of many teeth, or the teeth generally unsound. 7.—Impedimentof speech. 8.—Wantof due capacity of the chest, andanyotherindication of a liabllltyto a pulmonlo disease. 9.—Impaired orinadequateefficiency of one or bothof the superiorextremities onaccount of fractures, especially of the clavicle, contraction of ajoint, extenuation, deformity, &c., &c. 10.—Anunusual excurvature or incurvatureofthe spine.

NOTE—There being no provision whatever for the payment of the traveling expenses of either accepted orrejected candidates for admission,no candidate should fail to provide himself inadvance with the means of returning to his home, in case of his rejection before either of the Examining Boards, as he may otherwise be put to considerable trouble, incon- venience, and even suffering on account of his destitute condition. Ifadmitted, the money brought by him to meet such a contingency can be deposited withthe Treasureron account of his equipment as a Cadet, or returned to his friends. *lt is suggested to all candidates for admission to the Military Academy that, before leaving their place of residence for West Point, they should cause themselves to be thor- oughlyexamined by a competent physician, andby ateacher orinstructorin good standing. By such anexamination anyserious physical disqualification ordeficiencyin mental preparation would be revealed, andthe candidate probably spared the expense and trouble of a useless journey andthe mortification of rejection. It should beunderstood that the informal examination herein recommended i~solely for the convenienceand benefit of the candidate himself, and can in no manner affect the de- cisionof the Academicand Medical Examining Boards at West Point. 1890 35

11.—Bernia. 12.—Avaricose stateofthe veins of the scrotum or the spermatic cord(when large), sarco- cele, hydrocele, hemorrhoids, fistulas. 13.—Impaired orinadcquateefficiency of one or both of the inferiorextremitiesonaccount of varicose veins, fractures, malformation (flat feet, Ac.), lameness, contraction, unequal length, bunions, overlyingor supernumerary toes, Ac., Ac. 14.—Ulcers, orunsound cicatrices of ulcers likelyto break out afresh.

The following examplesandquestions in Arithmetic are a few of those which have been issedat pastexaminations. They are given in orderto indicatemore clearly what is required, hut it should be distinctly understood that entirely different ones are used eachyear. Multiply 4.12 by .00012.

InEnglish Grammar, candidates mustbe able— 1. To define the parts of speech, and give their classes and properties; to give inflec- tions, including declension, conjugation and comparison;to give the corresponding mascu- line and feminine gender-nouns: to give and apply the ordinary rules of syntax. 2.

connects, what each adjective and adverb qualifies or limits, the construction of each in- finitive, and, generally, showing a good knowledge of the function of each word in the- sentence. Omissions will be taken to indicateignorance. 3. To correct in sentencesor extracts any ordinary grammatical errors, such as are mentioned and explained in ordinary grammars It is not required that any particular grammarian or text-book shall be followed; but rules, definitions, parsing, and corrections must be in accordance with good usage and.. common sense. Theexamination may be written ororal, orboth written and oral. Candidates willbe required to passa satisfactory examination, written or Geography.. oral, orboth, in Geography,particularly of ourowncountry. Togiveacandidatea clear idea. ofwhat is required, the following synopsisis added to show the character and extentof the examination. Questions arehikely to be asked involving knowledge of: 1st. Definitions of the geographical circles, of latitude and longitude, of zonesand of all the natural divisionsof the earth’s surface, as islands, seas, capes, Ac. 2d. The continental areas andgrand divisions of the water of the earth’s surface. 3d. The granddivisions of the land—the large bodies of water which in part or wholly surround them. Their principal mountains, location, directiomi, and extent: the capes, from what parts they projectand intowhat waters! Their principal peninsulas, location, and by what waters are they embraced! The parts connected by an isthmus, if any; Their principal islands, location, and surrounding waters; The seas, gulfs, and bays, the coasts they indent, and the waters to which they are- subordinate; The straits, the lands they separate, and the waters they connect; Their principal rivers, their sources, directions of flow, and the waters into which they empty; Their principal lakes, location and extent. 4th. The political divisionsof the grand divisions. Their names, locations, boundaries, and capitals; general questions of the same c]aarac- ter asindicated in the second section, made applicable to each of the countries ofeach of the- grand divisions. 5th. TheUnited States. The candidate should be thoroughly informed as to Its general features, configuration,. location,and boundaries (both with respect to neighboringcountries, andlatitude and longi-- tude): its adjacentoceans, seas, bays, gulfs, sounds, straits, and islands; itsmountain ranges,. their location andextent; the sources, directions, and terminations of the important rivers-- and their principal tributaries, the lakes, and, in short, every geographical feature of the- country as indicatedabove. Thelocation and termination of important railroad lines and. other means of communication from one part of the country to another should not be- omitted. - TheStates andTerritories are to be accurately located with respectto each other by their boundaries, and as to their order along the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacifie Coast, the Northern frontier, the Mexican frontier, and the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio - Rivers. The boundary and other large riversof each State, as well as all other prominent geographical featuresshould be known. Thenames andlocations oftheir capitals, and other important citiesand towns are like.. wiseto be known. In short,the knowledge should be so complete that a clearmentalpicture of thewhole or” any part of the United States is impressed on the mind of the candidate. More weight is attached to a knowledge of the geogra~lhyof the United States than to that of all other countries combined. 38 1890

‘History. The candidate should make himself familiar with so much of the History ‘a/the United States as is contained in the ordinary school histories. The examination may bewritten or oral, or partly writtenand partly oral, and will usually consist of a series of -questions similarto the following: L—Naniethe earliest Europeansettlements within the present limits of the United States —when, where, and by who:n made! When did the settlements made by other nations than ‘the English,come under the Dominion of Great Britain, and of the United States!

The academicduties and exercisescommenceon the first of September and continue un. til the first of June. Examinations of the several classes are held in January and June, and, at the former, such of the newCadets as are found proficient in studies amid have been correct in conduct are given the particular standing in their class to which their nierits en. title them. After each examination, Cadets found deficient in conductor studiesare dis. charged from the Academy, unless the Academic Board for special reasons in each case should otherwise recommend. Similarexaminations are held every January and June dur. ing thefour years comprising the courseofstudies. These examinations arevery thorough, and require fromthe Cadet a close andpersever~ Ingattention tostudy, without evasion orslighting of anypart of the course, as no relaxa- mtions ofany kindcan be made bythe examiners. 18~0

Fromthe termination ofthe examination in June to the end of August Jtiiitary In. the Cadets live in camp, engaged odlyin military duties and exercises and ntruetioa. receiving practical military instruction. Except in extreme cases, Cadets are allowed but one leave of absence during the four years’ course; nsa rule the leaveis granted at the end of the firsttwo years’course ofstudy. PAY OF CADETS.

The payof a Cadet Is $540 per year, to commence with his admission to the Academy and Is sufficient, with proper economy,for his support. No Cadet is permitted to receive money, or anyother supplies, from his parents, or from any person whomsoever, without thesanction of the Superintendent. Cadets are required to wear the prescribed uniform. All articles of theirelothing are of a uniform pattern, and are sold to Cadets at West Point at regulated prices. EXPENSES OF CANDIDATES PRIOR TO ADMISSION. The expensesof a candidate for board, washing, lights, &c., after he has reported and prior to admission, willbe about $10. Immediately after being admitted to the Institution he must be provided with an outfit of uniform, the cost of which will be about $50, making a totalsum of $107, which must be depositedwith the Treasurer of the Academy before the candidate is admitted. It is best for a candidate to takewith him no more money than will defray his traveling expenses, andfor the parentorguardian to send to “The Treasurer, U. S. Military Academy,” the required deposit of $100. Any deviation from the rule as to the amount ormanner of making the deposit mist be explained in writing, by the parent or guardian of the candidate, to the Superintendent of the Academy. ASSIGNMENT TO CORPS AFTER GRADUATION. Theattention ofapplicants andcandidates is called tothe following provisionsof anact ofCongress approved May17, 1886, to regulate the promotion of graduates of the United States MilitaryAcademy: “That when anyCadet of the United States Military Academy has gone through all its classes and received aregular diploma from the Academic Staff, lie may be promoted and commissioned as asecond lieutenant in any arm orcorps of the Army inwhich there may be a vacancyandthe duties ofwhich he may have been judged competent to perform; and in case there shall notat the time bea vacancy in such arm or corps, he may,at the discretion ofthe President, be promotedand commissioned in it as an additional second lieutenant, with the usual payand allowances of a second lieutenant, until a vacancy shall happen.” GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS. Asoundbody andconstitution, suitable preparation, good natural capacity, an aptitude for study, indnstrious habits, perseverance,an obedient and orderly disposition, and a cor- rectmoral deportment are such essentialqualifications that candidates, knowinglydeficient in any of these respects,should not, as many do, subjectthemselves and their friends to the chances of futuremortification and disappointmentby acceptingappointmentsat the Acade- mnyand entering upon a careerwhich they cannot successfully pursue. ~ea8.quarter$,U.
