AMERICANA College Notebook The United States Military Academy IT' P AMERICANA College Notebook * The University of Vermont Founded in 1802, the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, has occupied a colorful and important place in American history. Among its nearly 24,000 graduates it lists names such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur. John J. Pershing, Ulysses S. Grant, and Robert E. Lee. Each year the Academy graduates about 500 new officers dedicated to a career in the service of their country. This is a long way from the graduating class of 1802 which numbered two men. On March 16, 1802, Congress au- -thorized a Corps of Engineers, set its strength at 5 officers and 10 Cadets, and stated that The Corps . . when so organized shall be established at West Point, in the State of New York, and shall con stitute a Military Academy . . .” Today the authorized strength of the Corps of Cadets is 2512. West Point’s site has grown from the original 1795 acres pur chased from Stephen Moore in 1790 to about 16,000 acres today. Barracks and other buildings al ready existed at the time of pur chase, because the Army had occupied the site since 1778, when George Washington was respon sible for the erection of fortifi cations at West Point. Some remnants of these fortifications remain at West Point today. The West Point system of edu- •cohon and the principles of aca demic and military training were established by Colonel Sylvanus Thayer, Superintendent of the Academy from 1817 to 1823, and they have endured the test of time for more than a century and a half. Thayer’s ideals are ex pressed in the words on the Acad emy's Coat of Arms—DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY. The U.S. Military Academy of fers a four-year, college-level edu cation leading to the degree Of Bachelor or Science and a com mission as second lieutenant in the Regular Army (or, in limited numbers, in one of the other Services). There are no tuition charges for attendance at the Academy. The Cadet, as a mem ber of the Regular Army, receives $111.15 a month, from which he pays for his uniforms, textbooks, and incidental items. He also re ceives a ration allowance which covers the cost of his meals. The University of Vermont, at Burlington, was chartered in 1791 and is the 20th oldest degree granting institution of higher learning in the United States, and the second founded by state legislative action to confer the bachelor's degree. Founded by Ira Allen, the school first opened its doors in 1800. The University's 157th commencement exer cises were held this year. From a dozen students in 1800, enrollment has grown to an un der graduate body of about 3,000. In addition, there is a College of Medicine, with an enrollment of about 190 and a Graduate College (Masters and Ph.D.) with about 160. Divisions of the University include the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the Col lege of Arts and Sciences, The College of Education and Nurs ing, The College of Technology, The College of Medicine, The Graduate College, and the School of Dental Hygiene. Degrees of fered are the Bachelor of Science, the Bachelor of Arts, the Masters, Uie Ph.D., the Doctor of Medi cine, and the Certificate of Dental Hygiene. The University is popularly called “UVM’*—Universitas Vi- ridid Montis—the University of the Green Mountain. Some UVM firsts include the first chemical laboratory in on American uni versity, the first university de partment of English language and literature, the first eastern university to establish a depart ment of commerce and econom ics, the first New England univer sity to admit women as regular students, the first Phi Beta Kappa chapter to admit women. Other firsts include Lambda Iota and Kate Walk. Lambda Iota social fraternity is the oldest local university fraternity in the United States and celebrated its 125th an niversary during the 1960-61 aca demic year. Kate Walk is the old est collegiate winter carnival in the United States and held its 64th annual carnival this past Feb ruary. It is interesting to note that it wasn’t until 1955 that the Univer sity became the state university in fact as well as in name. An other interesting aspect is that, excluding present construction, of a physical plant valued at $19,- 000,000, $17,000,000 has come from private philanthropy while state funds have provided for only four buildings. Hulsebus Infant Service Monday Mark Hulsebus, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Hulsebus, died Sunday in Chester. Survive is include his parents; two brothers, Robert and Timo thy Hulsebus and one sister, Lu-j cretia Hulsebus; and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Johnson Ha- good Clary, Sr., of Newberry. Funeral services were conduct ed Monday from the home by the Rev. William R. Bussey. Burial was in the Rosemont Cemtery at Newberry. Permits To Build B. F.

OH-1 LOVE BE/NG ON A D/ET. I GET SO HUNGRY BETWEEN MEALS/ Small in numbers, but large in scope, is the United States Coast Guard Academy at New London, Connecticut, which was established in 1876 to provide career officers for the oldest armed force afloat. From the original class of nine cadets appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman to train on the school ship, J. C. DOBBIN, a top-sail schooner specially fitted out for that purpose, the Coast Guard Academy has grown in numbers, facilities and mission, until today it counts an average enrollment of 600 cadets and occupies a 65 acre reservation. Although the smallest of the nation’s regular military acade mies, the military and academic program of the Coast Guard Acad emy is on a par with that of West Point, Annapolis, and the new Air Force Academy, and the Coast Guard Academy graduates are recognized among the world’s most proficient seamen. The present Academy curri culum, a far cry from the train ing given aboard the DOBBIN eighty years ago, is a well-rounded and carefully integrated balance of cultural, scientific, engineer ing and professional subjects. During the first two academic years, each cadet takes courses in liberal arts subjects such as history and literature; science subjects such as physics and chemistry; mathematics through calculus; and professional sub jects such as seamanship and navigation. In his final two years, a cadet studies economics, government, maritime and military law, and the fundamentals of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and marine engineering. He also receives ad vanced instructions in the pro fessional subjects that prepare him for his career as an officer in the Coast Guard. For training in leadership and drill, the Corps of Cadets is organ ized into a regiment. Cadets of the first class are appointed to the position of responsibility and authority on the regimefttal staff and down through the battalion and company organizations. The second classmen assist in carry ing out the indoctrination and training to the Corps. Military “spit and polish” and precision on the drill field are developed through each year, with perfec tion being attained in the spring at the end of the academic year. by Tom Dorr PIGEON, HOW DO >OU RATE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS DOMESTIC SCIENCE STUFF? ) ...AND SCRU3 AND WASH AND a . : Y \ * / ■ i r LODJ y£S-^OSCO£-/S A VERY STEAPy BOY. /N FACT, IF HE WERE ANY STEADIER HE'D BE ABSOLUTELY k MOT/OHLESS! tsA. ; C H A N N .
