Koscluszko began work on March 20, 1778, stuklng out the lines and setting a large force of soldiers at work erecting the walls of the fort which were of earth and logs, 14 feet high und 21 feet wide at the base. The main work was lrS00 feet In circumference with bastions, ditches and many angles. The fort could be approached from only one side toward the river and that was protected by a strong oak palisade, made by driving logs In the ground and bolting them together at the top, A hundred guns of all kinds were mounted In the main fort and the surrounding work. To prevent the British ships passing the fort at night a great iron chain was stretched across the river just above the fort Composed of huge links, the chain weighed more than 1ft) tens. (A part of this chain la still preserved and may be seen by the visitor to Trophy Point at the academy.) In fact, so strong was this post that Washington hnd the main supplies of munitions fyr the Continental anny stored there. In the meantime the project for establishing a military academy hud gone forward. On March 30, 1779, the Board of War adopted regulations for a Corps of Engineers and for tha Sappers and Miners," and these regulations were promulgated In orders Issued by Washington on July 30, 1779, providing for a plan of Instruction lo be carried Into effect after the commander nnd the board had approved of IL This plan Included lectures by engineer officers on fortification, mining, reconnaissance and encampments. As early as February, 170. practical exiierlmcnts In gunnery were conducted at West Point and an engineer school, a laboratory and a library had already been established In three separate buildings. In 1781 the Invnlld Corps, which hnd been organized In July, 1777, was nturched from Philadelphia at the request of Washington to form a art of the garrison at West point and to continue their instruction as young gentlemen previous to their being appointed to mnrehlng regiments." When the Revolution ended In 1783, Washington, when called upon for his views as to wbnt iieare-tlni- c army establishment the new nation should have, Included In the recommendations, which he laid before his oificeri at Newburgh, the matter of a military academy. When he had been made President, he referred to It again In Ida message of December 3. 1793. The first action taken toward the organization of a cadet corps, however, was the law passed May 9, 1791, which authorized the organization of a "Corpa of Artillerists and Engineers" with two rndeta to a company, thus creating the new officer grade of "cnilct" In tlie American army. Accordingly a school for artillerists nnd engineers and for endets attached to the conn was, on Wnah ingten's recommendation, and hy order of congress, established at West Point In 1794. But this small beginning toward n military academy suffered t severe setback two years Inter when the buildings at West Point were destroyed by fire and the school was suspended. It was not resumed until Iftil. In July of Hint year the secretary of war directed Hint all cutlets of the co rim of artillerists should report at West Point for Instructions am In September a school was opened with four nrtny officers nnd a civilian ns administrators and Instructors. The nail beginning of a military academy and lie first ue or that name for it dates from the following year By an net of congress, approved March M 1802. the President was authorized to organize and establish a corps of engineers lo consist of five (nicer am ton radets to be si a Honed nt West Point and to constitute a military academy. on Independence day, July 4, 1802, tbe United States Military academy opened at West Point with ten cadets present. From that time on an attempt was made to have the development of the military academy keep pace with the needs of our national military establishment, but for years the effort higgl'd. Acta of congress passed In 1802 and ISOS authorized the establishment of a cadet corps of forty from the artillery, one hundred from the Infantry, sixteen from the dragoons and twenty from the riflemen. Few of these were appointed, however, and no provision was made for them at tlie academy. In fact, In 1810, the academy was deprived of nenriy all means of Instruction and officers nnd endets hnd the greatest difficulty In obtaining their pay. During 1811 and a part of 1812, even though war with England was Imminent, Instruction nt West Point was practicalIn March, 1S12, the school was ly abandoned. without a single Instructor. The result of this short-sighte-d pulley In training officers for our armies was soon apparent In na during the second war with England. other war In which we have ever engaged hnvi we suffered such disgraceful reverses, due main ly to poor leadership. As one historian has put It Every nation hns some bad generals. . . . but as the War of 1812 dragged to Its dismal end, Americana were apparently faced with the Intensely humiliating necessity of having to admit that their generals were all bud." Jacksons victory at New Orleans wos about all that saved our national self respect, hut the humiliations of that war had one good effect, at least It showed the necessity fur a systematic training nt future army leaders and a hasty effort was made to supply that need. By an act of congress on April 29, 1812, the academy was reorganized and the provisions of Hint act have furnished the general principles upon which the military academy lias been builded since Hint time. By this act a more adequate stuff of teachers was authorized, a maximum of 2TiO cadets was fixed nnd the age nd mental and physical requisites for admission were prescribed. Under the provisions of the act and the nhle direction of MnJ. Sylvnnus Thayer of the corps of engineers, who was appointed rommanibint In 1SI7, the new era In the history of West Point opened.
