The Su- perintendent is President of the Academic Board. He directs the Academie exercises. His position should give prominence to the main characteristic basis of the Institution; and his personal qualifications should be such as to command the confidence and respect of those who cre trained fur all the branches of the public service. With these principles clearly directing the admistration of the Academy, it is the opinion of the Board that, as the corps of the army are at present organized, officers possessing the necessary qualifications for this special ser- vice may be obtained from all the scientific corps, and they are persuaded that the eifi- ciency of the Academy may be greatly pro- moted by extending the range of selection fur its Superintendent, so as to give the Acade- my the advantage of their services.
