Just why It should be such a spectacle I ilifllcult to explain. America la not essentially a militaristic nation, so love for military pomp and ilisplny Is not an soul-stirrin- g adequate explanation. Perhaps Its because the sight of these future captain nnd colonel and general recalls to us the history of the wars of the pnst In which West Pointers had been our successful military leaders and In these future lenders we pee a gunrantee af future military successes but more especially future national security. We cull them "the West Point cadets," because the United States Military academy happens to be located at West Point. New York, aud this year marks the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the appearance of the name West Point" In It was singularly the national consciousness. appropriate that the training school for Americas defenders should have been founded during the struggle which established tills nation. The earliest proposal for a military school for the United States was that made by Rrig. Gen. Henry Knox, the Poston hook seller who became one of Washingtons most trusted subordinates, served ns his chief of artillery nnd was later' tbe first American secretary of war. Knoxs proposal was made In May. ITTii. and his plans were seconded by a young colonel named Alexander Hamilton, destined to be a brother cabinet of fleer of Knoxs and tbe first secretary of the Tbe plans of these two officers were treasury. approved by General Washington but were not adopted In tbe form suggested Immediately. On October 1. 1770, congress passed a resolution appointing a committee to prepare a plan for A Military Academy at the Army. Another resolution on June go, 1777, provided for a Corps of Invalids to serve as a military school foi revious to their being apyoung gentlemen pointed to marching regiments. So far there had been only t lie preliminary legislation looking toward the establishment of a military neademy but nothing had been done towards the highly Important matter of finding a location for such a school. After the capture of Forts Montgomery und Clinton on the Hudson In September, 1777. both General Washington nnd congress saw the necessity of having a strong fort farthet up the river, which would interfere with the projected Junction of Bur goynes army coming from the north and Clintons army coming from the south, and which wottid also protect the ferrying of troops and and the other sutiplies between New colonies. Fortunately nature has provided lust miles above New such a place about forty-eigh- t York e!tv There, on a little plateau overlooking the Hudson and commanding that river, was an Ideal place to build a fortress which the whole British army would have difficulty In capturing West Point was occupied January Accordingly, 20, 177S. Sinee It has been occupied continuously since that date. January 20 of this year may he regarded as a sesquioentennial anniversary of the founding of our national military academy nnd for that reason is worthy of more than passing notice. Associated with the history of West Point is the name of a brilliant young Polish officer whose passion for human liberty, strengthened by his experience in his native country, had brought him to the aid of the American colonists. Thaddeus Kosoluszko, a graduate of the Royal Military academy at Warsaw, Poland, and later a student of miliiry engineering In France, hnd arrived in tills country in 1770, and upon recommendation of the military committee, congress appointed him colonel of engineers. He soon showed his worth la directing the fortification of Philadelphia nnd later In planning the forti- fication on Beml Height, at Saratoga, which had uch an Important part In Burgnynes defeat. So when a skilled engineer was needed to lay out the defenses of the new fortress, the young Pole was called upon. Koscluszko began work on March 20, 1778. staking out the lines nnd setting a large force of soldiers at work erecting the walls of the fort which were of earth and logs, 14 feet high nnd 21 feet wide at the base. The main work was 1,800 feet In circumference with bastions, ditches and many angles. The fort could be approached from only one aide toward the river and that was protected by a strong onk 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 surround- ing work. To prevent the British ships passing the fort at night a great Iron chnln was stretched across the river Just above the fort. Composed of. huge links, the chain weighed more than 180 tons. (A part of this chain Is still preserved and may lie seen by the visitor to Trophy Point at the academy.) In fact, so strong was this post that Washington had the main supplies of muni, ions for the Continental army stored there. In the meantime the project for establishing a military academy had gone forward. On March 0, 1770, the Board of War adopted regulations for a "Corps of Engineers and for the Sappers and Miners, and tlrnse regulations were promulgated In ortlbrs issued by Washington on July 30. 1770, providing for a plan of Instruction to he carried Into effect after the commander and the hoard had .approved of it. This plan Included lectures by engineer officers on fortification, mining, reconnaissance und encampments. As early as February, 1780. practical experiments 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 17SI tiie Invalid Corps, which had been organized in July, 1777, was marched from Philadelphia at the request of Washington to form a part of tiie garrison at West Toint and to continue their instruction ns young gentlemen previous to their being appointed to marching regi- ments. When tiie Revolution euded in 17S3, Washington, when called upon for his views as to what peace-timarmy establishment the new nation should have, included In the recommendations, which he laid before his officers at Newburgh, the matter of a military academy. When lie had been made President, he referred to It again In his message of December 3, 1793. The first action taken toward the organization of a cadet corps, however, was the law passed May 9. 1794, which authorized the organization of a Corps of Artillerists and Engineers with two cadets to a company, thus creating the new officer grade of cadet in tiie American army. According ly a school for artillerists and engineers and for cadets attached to tiie corps was, on Washingtons recommendation, and by order of con gross, established at West Point in 1794. But tills sninil beginning toward a militnrv academy suffered a severe setback two years 5ater when the buildings at West Point were destroyed by fire and tiie seliool was suspended. e It was not resumed until 1901. In July of that year tiie secretary of war directed that all cadets of the corps of artillerists should report at West Point for instructions and in September a school was opened with four army officers and a civilian as administrators and instructors. The real beginning of a military academy and the first use of that name for it dates from the following year By an act of congress, approved March 10, 1902. the President was authorized to organize and establish a corps of engineers to consist of five officers and ten cadets to be stationed at West Point and to constitute a military academy. Accordingly on Independence day, July 4, 1302, the 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 notional military establishment. but for years the effort lagged. Acta of congress passed In 1802 nnd 1808 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 the In fact. In 1910, the academy was deacademy. prived of nearly all moans of Instruction and officers und endets had the greatest difficulty In obtaining their pay. During 1811 nnd a part of 1812, even though war with England was Imminent. Instruction at West Point was practicalIn March, 1S12, the school was ly abandoned. without a single Instructor. d Tbe result of thl policy In training officers for our armies was soon apparent In no during the second war with England. other war In which we have ever engaged hava we suffered such disgraceful reverses, due mainly to poor leadership. As one historian tins put It Every nation has some bad generals. . . . but os the War of 1S12 dragged to Its dismal end, Americans were apparently fneed with the Intensely humiliating necessity of having to admit that their generals were nil had." Jacksons victory at New Orleans was about all that snvH our national self respect, hut tiie humiliations of that war had one good effect, at least. It showed the necessity for a systematic training of future army leaders and a hasty effort was made to supply that need. By an act of congress on April 29, 1912, the academy was reorganized nnd the provisions of that act have furnished the general principles upon which the military academy has been builded since that time. By this net a more adequate staff of teachers was authorized, a maximum of 230 cadets was lixed and the age ml mental aud physical requisites for admission were prescribed. Under the provisions of the act and the able direction of Mnj. Sylvnnus Thayer of the corps of engineers, who was appointed commandant in 1817. the new era in the history of West Point opened. Its results were soon apparent, foi the Mexican war, the various Indian campaigns and the Civil war proved conclusively that tiie time when all its generals were had was over for this country. and perhaps it Is not too much to say that the Civil war was the terrific struggle that It was because so many West Pointers, who regarded their allegiance to their native states paramount over their allegiance to the nation and accordingly cast their lot with the confederacy, more than made up for the Inferiority in numbers with which the South entered the war. By an act of congress, approved May 4. 1910, on the eve of Americas latest nnd greatest war. the corps of cadets, as now constituted, consists of two from each congressional district, .two from each territory, four from the District of Columbia, two from Porto Rico, four from each state at large and eighty from the United States at large, twenty of whom shall be selected from among the honor graduates of educational institutions having officers of tha regular army detailed ns professors of military science and tactics under existing laws. They are appointed by tiie President, who is also authorized to appoint cadets from nmong enlisted men In mffier as nearly equal as praclicahle, of the regular army and the national guard, between the. ages of nineteen and twenty-tw-years who have served as enlisted men not less than a year. The total number so selected may not exceed ISO at one time nnd there are other regulations governing their appointment.
