Satige ivestigation T ¢ partly | JUNE 12, 1902 WEST POINT'S PROUD RECORD Oompletion of & Oentury in the Life of the Famous Military Academy. CEREMONIES WHICH WILL MARK OCCASION tion and he School, Its Superintendents and Its Graduates—Com- memorative Table Development of The present week marks the completion of a century in the life of the West Polnt Militdry academy, and the historic event will be celebrated with the pomp and cir- cumstance befitting the glorlous history of the Institution President Roosevelt and members of his cabinet, members of con- gress, representatives of the army and navy, old and young graduates and dis- tinguished southerners will participate in the exercises, which will extend over four days. The celebration might have taken place last March, for it was 100 years ago on March 16 that the bill authorizing the es- tablishment of the military academy was passed by congress. This bill gave the president authority to appoint a faculty consisting of one major, two first lleuten- ants and two second lleutenants. The school started with ten cadets, of whom two were graduated in 1802. These were Joseph G. Swift of Massachusetts and Simon M. Levy of Maryland. The bill provided for additions to the corps, but it was also provided that the corps should not exceed twenty officers and cadet: Major Jonathan ‘Willlams was the first superintendent, and assoclated with him were Captain Willlam A. Barron and First Lieutenants James Wil- son and Alexander Macomb. Early Superintendents. Shortly after the academy was opened, relates the New York Tribune, congress authorized an increase in the number of cadets to forty. Furlber additions were authorized, but many of the boys who were appointed could not enter because of the lack of accommodations. The academy grew in popularity and in 1815 thirty-nine men were graduated. In 1822 the academy had reached a high standard, interest in its work had grown and forty cadets were graduated. Classgs of seventy-seven, sev- enty-six and sixty-nine have been gradu- ated since that time, and of the 4,100 men who have received their diplomas there, and with them, in most instances, commissions in the United States army, many have writ- ten their names in lasting characters on the pages of American history. When Major Willlams, who was also known as the builder of Castle Willlams in the harbor of New York, retired as superin- tendent in 1812, Colonel Joseph G. Swift succeeded him, and two years later the office went to Captaln Alden Partridge. Captain Sylvanus Thayer became superin- tendent in 1817, and held the office until 1833, and It was under his direction and management that the institution made its first rapld strides. His work was thoroughly appreciated and a monument erected to his memory on the academy grounds, near the spot where he lles buried, bears the in- scriptio “Colonel Thayer, Father of the Military Academy.” He was graduated at the academy in the class of 1808, but after he had reorganized the institution it bore no resemblance to the original, and the course which he shaped has been followed ever since his time, Superintendent Thayer resigned in 1833 because of a misunderstanding between him and President Jackson. Five years after his resignation he was asked to re- sume his place at the head of ‘the inati- tution, his successor, Major Rene E. De Rusey, having died, but he declined. From 1845 until 1852 Major Richard Delafield was the superintendent, and for three years after that time the office was filled by Captain Henry Brewster. Southern Leader in Charge. Captain Robert E. Lee succeeded Captain Brewster and retalned the place until March, 1855, when he was succeeded by Captain John G. Bralnard. In 1856 Major Delafleld was recalled to the superintend- ency. The academy records show that ajor Delafield was relieved by order of the secretary of war, John B. Floyd, in 1861, and Major P. G. D. Beauregard placed in command. Five days later, when Floyd had ceased to be secretary of war, and was suc- ceeded by Joseph Holt, under President Lincoln, Beauregard was dismissed from the superintendency and Delafield rein- stated. Only a few months later Beaure- gard commanded the rebel forces in the battle of Bull Run, having on his staff and In subordinate positions many men who had received their education at West Polnt. Major Alexander B. Bowman was the superintendent of the academy from March 1, 1861, to July 8, 1864, when he was suc- ceeded by Major Zealous B. Tower, who held the place only a few months. After the War. Lieutenant Colonel George W. Cullum, who was graduated In the class of 1833, and to whom the academy is indebted for the beautiful memorial bhall in which the cen- tennial exercises will take place, was the superintendent from September, 1864, to August 28, 1866. Colonel Thomas G. Pitcher succeeded Colonel Cullum and remained superintendent until September 1, 1871, when Colonel Thomas H. Ruger took the place and presided over the academy until September 1, 1876. Major General John M. Bchofield was the first general officer to re- ceive the appointment of superintendent of the academy. He filled the place from September 1, 1876, to January 21, 1881, and was followed by General O. O. Howard, who remained in command until September 1, 1882, Wesley Merritt, who was colonel of the Fifth cavalry at the time, was ap- pointed superintendent in September, 1882, and remained in office until July, 1887. Colonel John G. Park, who succeeded General Merritt, retalned the place until June, 1889, and was succeeded by General, then Lieutenant Colonel John M. Wilson. Major Oswald H. Ernst was the next super- intendent and he was in office at West Polot when he was ordered to the front in the Spanish war. The present superintendent, Colonel Al- bert L. Mills, was first lieutenant in the Firet cavalry when President McKinley ap- pointed him to the place and he is the first officer under the rank of captain who ever held the pla He had been severely wounded in Cuba, had just been discharged from the hospital and called on the presi- dent at the White House, when the place was offered to him. 4 Selection of Cadets, Until 1843 & prescribed residence was not » legal qualification for appolntment as a cadet, but the custom of selecting one from each congressional district bad come to prevall. In that year the custom became & law, and & bill was passed by congress prascribing that the corps of cadets should consist of one from each congressional dis- trict, one from each territory, one from the District of Columbia, and ten from the United States at large, to be appointed by the president An act of congress passed in June, 1900, increased the corps of cadet and provided that it shall consist of one from each congressional district, one frowm each territory, including Hawall; one from the District of Columbla, two from each state at large and thirty from the United States at large, all to be appolnted by the president, and, with the exception of the thirty appointed from the United States at large, to be actual residents of the con gressional or territorial districts, or of the District of Columbia, or of the states, re spectively, from which they purport to be appointed Under this act the maximum number of cadets is 482. In 1903, under the new apportionment of members of congrass according to the censua of 1900, the number will be 511 The gray uniform which is worn by the cadets at West Point was adopted in 1816 Prior to that time the cadets wore the regulation blue, but in that year Generai Scott's requisition for cloth could not be executed because of a lack of home manu- facture and the stringency of the embargo on imported stock. A quantity of gray cloth was obtained, however, in Philadel- phia, and this was sent to West Point for the cadets. There was objection on the part of the cadets at first, but in a few years the despised gray had become re spected, and the wearers were known in ali parts of the country as models of soldierly bearing and conduct. West Pointers in War Time. As early as the Mexican war the men from West Polnt had won the esteem and respect of the national military authori- ties. General Winthrop Scott said: give It as my final opinion that but for our graduated cadets the war between the United States and Mexico might and prob- ably would have lasted for some four or five years, within its firet half more de- feats than vietories falling to our share; whereas, in less than two campalgns we conquered a great country and a peace without the loss of a eingle battle or skir- mish."” Among the officers who were of great service to General Scott at the time was Colonel Jefferson Davis, later president of the southern confederacy, who was gradu- ated In the class of ‘28, In the civil war West Point was repre- sented in the list of army commanders by Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, McClellan, Hal- leck, Meade, Thomas, Schofield, Rosecrans, Hooker, Buell, McPherson, Canby, Ord, Howard, Hancock, Slocum, Merritt, Lyon and others. In the confederate army there were 151 genmeral officers who had been graduated at West Point, and im nearly every large engagement the commanding officers on both sides were West Pointers and in many instances classmates were the leaders of the opposing forces. Many of the gallant men who went forth from the military academy fell in battle, and in their memory a beauti’ul monument has been erected which is one of the fea- tures of West Point. It Is a shaft seventy- elght feet high, surmounted by a figure of Victory by MacMonnies, and bears the in- scription: SN G ARSI s * To the memory of officers and ¢ enlisted men of the regular army * + who fell during the civil war, o 00 8% VNG NEOVETEN o Roll of Honor. The whole number of cadets admitted to the academy since its formation is 8,504 Of these 4,121 will have graduated when the class of ‘02 has finished fits course. There will be 373 cadets left in the academy to greet the next crop of “plebs” who will enter the institution, knowing that it will require much and hard work to keep up with the require- ments of the course, bu' they will not fear, as those who preceded them did, that they will be molested and tortured and hazed. The bulldings at West Point have been inadequate for many years, but it has been impossible to secure an appropriation for enlarging and improving them until this year. Plans were drawn by Colonel Larned, under the direction of Colonel Mills, which, when carried out, will add to the architectural beauty of the place and make some of the old buildings, which are still fitted as they were nearly 100 years ago, modern in their Internal ar- rangement. The speakers at the centennfal celebras tion will include General Horace Porter, class of '60, who will be the orator of the day; General J. M. Schofleld, class of '53, as president of the Assoclation of Grad- uates; General T. J. Wood, class of '45, as a veteran of the Mexican war; General T. H. Ruger, class of 'f4, s a veteran of the Civil war (union); General E. Porter Alex- ander, class of '57, as a veteran of the Civil war (confederate). The centennial exercises will take place in Cullum Memorial hall. The program includes an address of welcome by Colonel Mills and addresses by President Roosevelt and the secretary of war. The Centennial Tablet. The commemorative tablet, which is to be given a place In the front vestibule of Me- morial hall, will be unveiled. General John M. Schofield, president of the Association of Graduatea of the Military Academy, will deliver the oration.
