MILITARY ACADEMY-WEST POINT.
[To accompany bill H. R. No. 967.]
MARCH 1, 1837.
( * *
, Mr. SMITH, of Maine, from the Select Committee to which the subject had
! been referred, made the following
! REPORT:
*
The Select Committee, to which the subject had been referred, report:
The first official recommendation, under the Federal Government, of the
policy and necessity of adopting a system of military instruction in the
army of the United States, is to be found in a report, dated January 18th,
1790, made by General Knox, then Secretary of War, under President
Washington, who, in turn, communicated with Congress upon the subject,
by special message, dated January 21, 1790.” It is worthy of remark, that,
in this message, the President neither approved nor disapproved of the ,
principles or ãetails of the report; but said, “Considering the subject to
be of the highest importance to the welfare of our country, and liable to be
placed in various points of view, I have directed him [the Secretary of
War] to lay the plan before Congress, for their information, that they may
make such use thereof as they may judge proper.”
The plan of “military education” thus proposed, was wholly of a practi-
cal nature, embracing the study of none of the abstruse sciences in-
volved in the art of war. It embraced all the youth of the United States
“of eighteen, nineteen, and twenty years of age, to be denominated the ad-
vanced corps.” They were to be clothed, armed, and subsisted, while on
duty, at the public expense. Those of eighteen and nineteen years of age
were to perform camp duty thirty days, successively, in each year; and
those of twenty years of age were to be disciplined in like manner fourteen
days in each year. º *
The “advanced corps,” says the report, “are designed not only as a
school in which the youth of the United States aré to be instructed in the
art of war, but they are, in all cases of exigence, to serve as an actual
defence to the community.” º
The report also enforces the universality of its plan of military education
in the following language: “Every State possesses not only the right of
personal service from its members, but the right to regulate the service on
principles of equality for the general defence. All being bound, none can
complain of injustice on being obliged to perform his equal proportion.
Therefore, it ought to be a permanent rule, that those who in youth decline

or refuse to subject themselvés to the course of military education established
by the laws, should be considered as unworthy of public trust or public
honors, and excluded therefrom accordingly.” (ºr
Let it be remarked for consideration hereafter, that the foregoing plan
will be found strongly characterized by two features: 1st. #. all the
youth of the country, within the ages prescribed, were to be made by it
participants, in an equal degree, of the military cducation provided b
Government, whether considered as a privilege or a hardship. 2d. While
constituting a school of instruction, they were also “to serve as an actúal
defence to the community:” in other words, were to constitute a part of
the actual and active military force of the nation.
Nothing was matured by Congress upon the above plan. On the 8th
May, 1792, “An act [chap. 33] more effectually to provide for the national
defence, by establishing a uniform militia throughout the United States,”
was passed by Congress. No provision for Scientific instruction in the art
of war was contained therein. In the annual message of President Washing-
ton, of December 3d, 1793, he thus adverts to this last named act: “It is
an inquiry which cannot be too solemnly pursued, whether the act ‘more
effectually to provide for the national defence, by establishing a uniform
militia throughout the United States, has organized them so as produce ’
their full effect; whether your own experience in the several States has
not detected some imperfections in the scheme; and whether a material
feature in an improvement of it ought not to be, to afford an opportunity
for the study of those branches of the military art which can scarcely ever
be attained by practice alone.”
The report of the “Committee on Military Affairs, to whom was referred
the subject of the Military Academy at West Point,” made to the House of
Representatives, on the 17th of May, 1834,” alludes to the above quoted
paragraph of President Washington's message as follows: “Mr. Jefferson
has informed us, that when the preparation of this message was discussed
in the cabinet, the President mentioned a military academy as one of the
topics that should be introduced, and that he himself raised the objection
that there was no clause in the constitution which warranted such an
establishment; that the above sentence was nevertheless incorporated in
the message, and was again the subject of special deliberation. The repl
of Washington was, that he would not recommend any thing prohibited by
the constitution ; but, if it was doubtful, he was so impressed with the
necessity of the measure, that he would refer it to Congress, and let them
decide for themselves whether the constitution authorized it or not.”
If it be correct that President Washington contemplated in his suggestion
the establishment of a “military academy,” as the said Committee of Con-
gress on Military Affairs seem to have been desirous of having understood,
it caumot be reasonably doubted that he was likewise so understood by the
committee of the House of Representatives, to whom that part and subject
of the message was at the time of it referred; and the report which they
made thereupon should, in that event, be construed as having relation to
such an institution. To this report, the first mained committee abstained
entirely from making, allusion of any kind in connexion with the message.
However, as a necessary and cotemporary exposition of the views enter-
tained by the popular branch of Congress upon the subject that is treated

of in the message—be that subject, in truth, “a military academy” or some
other system of discipline—it is most appropriate to present here a copy of
said report. It was made to the House of Representatives by the chairman
of a committee of soveri, on the 24th of March, 1794, and is as follows:*
“Mr. Cobb, from the committee appointed to report whether any and what
alterations are, in their opinion, tiecessary to the act more effectually to
provide ſor the national defence by establishing a uniform militia through-
out the United States, made the following report: That they are im-
pressed with the importance of a more energetic system for the establishment
of a uniform militia than what is contemplated by the present existing
laws of the United States; but in viewing this subject as applied to the
constitution of the United States, and the powers therein expressly reserved
to the different States, they have their doubts how far Congress can, con-
sistent therewith, make any important alterations or amendments to the
present law; and as the right of training the militia is constitutionally
reserved to the States, if they can be impressed with the importance of ex-
ercising this power and directing its operation more especially to the light
infantry and grenadier companies of eagh regiment, an efficient force may
be thereby created, and equal to any that can probably be obtained by any
additional law of the United States, made under the cónstitutional powers’
of Congress. Under this view of the subject, and until further experience
shall be had under the existing law, the committee are of opinion that no
amendment is necessary to the act for establishing a uniform militia through-
out the United States.”
After this report, no further action was had upon the subject by the House
of Representatives during that session of Congress. But, in the same ses.
sion, the act of May 9, 1794, (chapter 24,) was passed, entitled “An act
providing for raising and organizing a corps of artillerists and engineers.”
It incorporated with the corps of artillery, then in the service, by enlistment
for the term of three years, seven hundred and sixty-four non-commissioned
officers, privates, and artificers, to serve as privates and musicians; and a
“proper proportion of commissioned officers” to command them. It gave
to this amalgamated force the denomination of the “corps of artillerists and
engineers;" it subjected this corps to the same rules and articles of war as
governed the other troops of the United States. And, by the same act, it was
made “the duty of the Secretary of War to provide, at the public expense,
under such regulations as shall be directed by the President of the United
States, the necessary books, instruments, and apparatus for the use and
benefit of the said corps.” By another section of the same act, the Pres.
ident of the Uhited States was authorized to “cause such proportions of the
said corps to serve in the field, on the frontier, or in the fortifications of the
seacoast,” as he might deem consistent with the public service. The “Com-
mittee on Military Affairs” of the first session of the last Congress, in their
before-named report, characterize the above-mentioned act as “an authen-
tic exposition of the views of Congress.” The remark is indisputably cor-
rect; and it deserves here to be noted, that the act is marked most strongly
by the same important feature which characterized the plan reported by
General Knox, in 1790, as already mentioned, viz: that of making the
corps, thus organized, a constituent part of the military force of the nation,
* American State Papers, vol. 1, on Military Aſfuls, page 66, 1822 edition.

“to serve in the field, on the frontier, or in the fortifications of the sea-
coast,” as the commander-in-chief might direct. . .
. In his annual message to Congress, of December 7, 1796, President
Washington recommends the establishment of a military academy in direct
terms; the plan, however, which he contemplated was not disclosed, and,
consequently, the recommendation furnishes no standard by which to judge
of the conformity of subsequent measures upon this subject with the one
he then had in view. In no less strong terms the establishment of a na-
tional university was recommended by the same message: “A primary ob-
ject of such a mational institution should be,” says the message, “the edu-
cation of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what
species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more
pressing on its Legislature than to patronize a plan for communicating it
to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?”
The committee, to whom the part quoted of the above message was re-
ferred, and to whom, also, had been referred a memorial upon the same
subject from the commissioners appointed under the “act for establishing
the temporary and permanent seat of Government of the United States,”
reported, on the 21st of December, 1796, t recommending nothing more
than that authority be given to proper persons to receive, and hold in trust,
pecuniary donations towards the establishment of a university in the Dis-
trict of Columbia; and, after a full debate, even this recommendation of the
committee was disagreed to by the House of Representatives. Upon that
part of the message relating to the institution of a military academy, no or-
der whatever was taken by the House, and the subject did not even go into
the hands of a committee. What construction ought to be put upon these
facts, by way of arriving at “an authentic exposition of the views of Con-
gress” at the period under reference upon this subject, the committee mak-
ing this report will not assume to assert, although it seems hardly to admit
of a difference of opinion. •.
By an act of April 27, 1798, (chapter 50,) Congress provided “an addi-
tional regiment of artillerists and engineers,” to “be considered as a part of
the military establishment of the United States for the time being,”, to be
governed by the same rules and articles of war “ as the other troops, and
to be employed by the President of the United States,” in detachments, or
otherwise, in the field, or in the fortifications upon the Seacoast. By the
same act, “all necessary books, instruments, and apparatus” were to be pro-
vided for the use and benefit of said regiment. In a letter from the Secre-
tary of War to the chairman of the Committee of Defence, and dated June
28, 1798, after alluding to the before-named acts of May 9, 1794, and April
*The resolution referred to the committee as the basis of this act, was as follows:
“I'esolved, That an additional corps of artillery, not to exceed eight hundred men, officers
included, and also including one chieſ and four assistant engineers, ought to be raised for garri-
soning the fortifications which are or may be erected ſor the defence of the seasoast.”—See
Journal of the House, March 31, 1794.
f The following is a copy of the report: . *
“'The committee, to whom was committed the memorial of the commissioners appointed
under the ‘act establishing the temporary and permaneut seat of Government of the United
States,’ and to whom, also, was referred that part of the President's speech relating to a na-
tional university, report the following resolution : $
“Rºoked, 'That it is expedient at present thal authority should be given, as prayed for by
the said mucunorial, to proper persºns to receive, and hold in trust, pecuniary donations in aid
of the appropriations already made, towards the establishment of a university in the District
of Columbia.” *

27, 1798, said: “The Secretary, without designing to derogate from the merits
of the officers appointed to the corps established by the acts cited, feels it his
duty to suggest that other and supplementary means of instruction to the
books and instruments to be provided, appear to be absolutely indispensable,
to enable them to acquire a due degree of knowledge in the objects of their
corps. It is certain that the best faculties and inclinations for the arts and
sciences cannot be unfolded and applied to useful purposes, when proper
encouragement and assistance have been denied or neglected. The knowl-
edge of certain arts and sciences is absolutely necessary to the artillerist and
engineer: such are arithmetic, geometry, mechanics, hydraulics, and de-
signing. *
“It is, therefore, submitted, whether provision ought not to be made for
the employment of three or four teachers of the enumerated sciences, to be
attached generally to the two corps of artillerists and engineers, and obli-
, gated to give instructions and lessons at such times and places, and under
such regulations, as the President may direct. The employment of teachers
would give the intended effect to the provision of the laws for the appoint-
ment of two cadets to each company. It was supposed that these cadets
would form a nursery, from which qualified officers might be drawn to fill
vacancies, &c.; but it must occur that, without proper masters to teach
them the sciences necessary to the engineer and artillerist, this nursery can
produce no valuable plants.”
On the 16th of July following, the date of the suggestions just quoted,
“An act [chap. 93] to augment the army of the United States, and for
other purposes,” was passed, in which was incorporated the following pro-
vision: “That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, au-
thorized to appoint a number, not exceeding four, teachers of the arts and
sciences necessary for the instruction of the artillerists and engineers.” Such
thenceforth was the only mode of scientific instruction provided for the
army, until the act of March 16, 1802. It is, however, due to the history
of the subject to notice a communication from the Secretary of War, and
submitted to Congress by President Adams, of the 14th January, 1800.
To this communication a supplementary one was also made to the House
of Representatives on the 13th of February, in the same year, by the Secre-
tary of War, through the chairman of the Committee of Defence. The
President, in communicating the former document, without expressing any
direct opinion upon it otherwise, characterized it as “containing various
'matters in which the honor and safety of the nation are deeply involved.”
The plan suggested by the Secretary of War, Mr. McHenry, was to or-
organize four schools—“The Fundamental School,” “The School of
Engineers and Artillerists,” “The School of Cavalry and Infantry,” and
“The School of the Navy.” The first three under one general director,
and subordinate directors, professors, &c., for each. In the “Fundamental
School” was to be taught a theoretic knowledge of all the sciences involved
in each of the branches of the art of war. The application or practice of
the theoretic knowledge thus acquired, was to be the business of the other
respective schools, each being, in this, confined to the branch which its
name or title indicates. - | -
The persons to be thus instructed by Government in the several schools
are described in the Secretary's plan as follows: “those appointed or de-
signed for engineers;” “those appointed or designed for the artillery ser-
* American State Papers, vol 1, on Military Affairs, pages 128, 129, edition of 1833.
6 [ Rep. No. 303. I
vice;” “those appointed to or destined for the cavalry and infantry;” “those
appointed to or destined for the naval service.”
The plan, also, suggested that “persons who, by previous instruction else-
where, may have become acquainted with some or all of the branches
taught in the ‘Fundamental School, may, after due examination by the di-
rectors and professors of that school, be either received there for a short
time, or pass immediately to one or other of the schools of practice, accord-
ing to the nature and extent of their acquirements and intended destina-
tion.” “In addition to these, detachments of officers and non-commission-
ed officers of the army ought to attend one or other of the schools, in rota-
tion, for the purposes of instruction and exercise, according to the nature
of the corps to which they respectively belong.”
Such was the plan proposed in 1800; and here again, it is to be remark-
ed, as an important characteristic of this plan, and the same which has been
seen to have marked each preceding plan to which the committee have di-
rected their attention, that only those persons who were appointed or des-
tined for the public service, and who, in fact, constituted a portion of the ac-
tual military or naval force of the country, were to be instructed in these
proposed schools at the public expense.
This appears still more explicitly in the following extract from the Se-
cretary's plan relating to the expenses incident thereto, viz:
“Agreeably to the plan of the Military Academy, the directors thereof
are to be officers taken from the army; consequently, no expense will be in-
curred by such appointments.” “The plan, also, contemplates that officers
of the army, cadets, and non-commissioned officers shall receive instruction
in the academy. As the rations and fuel, which these are entitled to in the
arrhy, will suffice for them in the academy, no additional expense will be
required for these objects of maintenance while there.” “The expenses of
servants, and certain incidental charges relative to the police and adminis-
tration, may be defrayed by those who shall be admitted out of their pay
and emoluments.”
Following out the history of the foregoing proposition, we find it was re-
ferred in the House of Representatives to a committee of seven on the 13th
of January, 1800. On the 19th of March following, a bill was reported
upon the subject, which was opposed on its first reading; but, upon a vote
of the House, was admitted to a second reading and referred to a Committee
of the Whole House; while in this stage, the further consideration of it was
postponed on the 28th of April until the first Monday of the December follow-
ing ; upon which question the yeas and nays ºvere taken–64 yeas to .23
nays. This vote was evidently considered tantamount to a most decided
expression of the House against the measure, and the consideration of it
was not resumed during the continuance of that Congress.f
On the 30th December, 1801, the House of Representatives adopted, in
Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, the following resolution:
“Resolved, That it is expedient to reduce the military establishment of
the United States.” Upon this resolution, the House, on the same day,
raised a committee to prepare a bill pursuant thereto. On the 11th of
January following, (1802) said committee reported a bill which was passed
on the 16th of (chap. 9) March, of the same year, entitled “An act fixing
*American State Papers, vol. 1, on Military Aſſairs, pp. 124 and 142, edition 1832.

[ Rep. No. 303. I 7
the military establishment of the United States.” By this act, the corps of
artillerists and engineers, created by the acts of May 9, 1794, and April 27,
1798, already alluded to, was dissolved; and a new corps of artillerists, and
a new corps of engineers, as distinct bodies, were created: the latter to “con-
sist of one engineer, with the pay, rank, and emoluments of a major ;
two assistant engineers, with the pay, rank, and emoluments of captains;
two other assistant engineers, with the pay, rank, and emoluments of
first lieutenants; two other assistant engineers, with the rank, pay and
emoluments of second lieutenants; and ten cadets, with the pay of six-
teen dollars per month, and two rations per day.” The same section of
the act (sect. 26) provided for certain contingent promotions in the corps,
and “that the number of the whole corps shall at no time exceed twenty
officers and cadets.” Section 27, of the same act, provided “that the said
corps, when so organized, shall be established at West Point, in the State of
New York, and shall constitute a Military Academy; and the engineers,
assistant engineers, and cadets, shall be subject, at all times, to do duty in
such places and on such service as the President of the United States shall
direct.” By section 28, the Secretary of War, under the regulations of the
President, was authorized to provide the necessary books, implements, and
apparatus for said corps. º g *
On the 28th of February, of the succeeding year, (1803) by an additional
act, (chap. 66,) the President was “authorized to appoint one teacher of the
French language, and one teacher of drawing, to be attached to the corps
of engineers;” also, “one artificer, and eighteen men to aid in making prac-
tical experiments, and for other purposes.”
The preceding provisions, which are all that Congress made upon the
subject prior to the last cited act, and for several years thereafter, exhibit,
with accuracy, the original character and extent of design of the Military
Academy at West Point; as, also, the entire history of its conception and
growth, so far as the records of Congress, and actual legislation, can illus-
Urate it.
And here it is deemed proper to remark briefly upon some of the indis-
putable characteristics of the institution; viewing it only in the shape which
was given to it by the founders of it, and by the original provisions of law
creating it, as already traced. f
With no justice can it be said that “the corps of engineers,” on being or-
ganized under the act of March 16, 1802, as a corps distinct from the corps of
artillerists, and with the exclusive appellation of the “Military Academy,”
differed in any substantial quality from “the corps of artillerists and engi-
neers” which had existed previously, under the acts of May 9, 1794, and
July 16, 1798; certainly no new principle of government or legislation was
involved in this new organization of the “corps of engineers,” with the ad-
dition of the term “Military Academy” to its name. It amounted only to a
slight modification of the same constitutional means which had previously
been resorted to for the accomplishment of the same end. A brief com-
parison of the two institutions will demonstrate this most fully:
First. The “corps of artillerists and engineers” of 1794 and 1798 was
created a constituent part of the military force of the United States. This
appears from enactments already cited ; but, besides these, the act of March
3, 1795, (chap. 109,) entitled “An act for continuing and regulating the
military establishment of the United States, and for repealing sundry acts
heretofore passed on that subject,” expressly declares the same fact, as fol-
lows: “That the present military establishment of the United States, com-
Ş [ Rep. No. 303. I
posed of a corps of artillerists and engineers, &c. be, and the same is hereby,
continued.”
The “corps of engineers” of 1802, denominated the “Military Academy,”
was, in this respect, of the same character. The act by which it was instir
tuted is entitled “An act fixing the military peace establishment of the
United States.”
Second. The President of the United States was authorized to cause the
former corps, in whole or in part, “to serve in the field, on the frontier, or
in the fortifications on the seacoast,” as he might deem consistent with the
public service. The latter corps, though stationed at West Point, were, in
like manner, made “subject, at all times, to do duty in stich places, and on
such service, as the President of the United States should direct.
Third. Provision was made, as already quoted in nearly the same words,
for the supply of each corps with the necessary books, instruments, and ap-
paratus, at the public expense. *
Fourth. In relation to cach corps, an amendatory act was passed pro-
viding a specific number of teachers for each, and in nearly the same lan-
Ula Q'62.
#. The former corps were to be governed by the same rules and arti-
cles of war, “as the other troops of the United States;” and it is believed
that the latter corps were alike subject to the same rules and articles.”
Sixth. The former corps was limited in number to 992, exclusively of
the commissioned-officers; the latter corps was “at no time to exceed
twenty officers and cadets.”
Thus “the corps of engineers and artillerists” is seen to have been organ-
ized upon substantially the same principles, charged with the same duties,
subject to the same direction and government, and invested with all of the
same means and privileges of scientific improvement as was the subsequent
“corps of engineers,” denominated also the “Military Academy.” The two
corps, as engineers, differed but partially in name, and absolutely in nothing
except the number of their members.
The ſoregoing parallel demonstrates, moreover, that in the original estab-
lishment of the “Military Academy” at West Point, nothing was intended
or accomplished beyond a dissolution of the previously existing connexionf,
or identity between the artillerist and engineers of the army, and the organ-
ization of them into distinct bodies, without assigning any additional privi-
leges or liabilities to either.
* Fixtract from the report of the Hon. J. C. Calhoun, Secretary of War, dated February 4,
1819, in reply to a resolution of the Senate of January 25, 1819–" The cadets are under the
overnment of the rules and articles of war, so far as they are applicable.” See, also, Doc. 88,
st Sess., 16th Congress.
f How far the following suggestions of Mr. McHenry's previous report of January 13, 1800,
entered into this measure, or was the basis of it, does not appear of record. His report says, “It is
conceived that the entire union of the officers, artillerists, and engineers, in one corps, as in our
present establishment, is not advisable. The art of fortification, and the service of artillery,
though touching each other in many points, are, in the main, distinct branches, and each so
comprehensive that their separation is essential to perfection in either. This has been ascertain-
ed by long experience. Among the powers of Europe, there is not one recollected which, at the
present day, is not conscious of this truth. When any of them have attempted to unite these
corps, the disadvantages which resulted were soon felt to be so momentous as to produce con-
viction that each required a separate organization. Such a union was once attempted in
France: according to an ordinance of the 8th December, 1755, the artillery and engineer corps
of that nation, which had been separate, were combined into one. The experiment was, how-
ever, of short duration. In 1758, the crgineer corps was disjoined from the corps of artillery,
and callel, as before, the corps of engineers; since which time these corps have remained
separate.” See American State Papers, vol. 1, on Military Affairs, p. 135, 1832 edition.

\
It is also to be remarked, that, at this period, the academy being consti-
tuted of the active and practical engineer corps exclusively, neither embraced,
nor was intended to embrace, any persons whomsoever, except those who
were of the army, and who belonged to the army, and who constituted a
portion of the regular military force of the United States; and were liable,
“at all times, to do duty at such places, and on such service, as the Presi-
dent of the United States might direct.” And, in the preservation of this
important feature, the institution is seen to have been kept within the same
limits, and based upon the same fundamental principle which characterized
the early plan of military instruction proposed by General Knox, while
Secretary of War, and the still later plan proposed by Mr. McHenry, while
Secretary of War; each of which plans has been heretofore the subject of
remark in this report, and served as the basis of the before-mentioned sug-
gestions of both President Washington and President Adams.
It is recommended that this common characteristic of said plans, and of
the academy, be borne constantly in mind; that the point where it was
subsequently merged and lost to the academy may be fully understood, and
the transformation of the institution, which was thereby effected, may be
justly appreciated. •
Having ascertained how the academy originated, and what its in-
cipient and original character was, we are brought to the consideration of
the second branch of our subject:
PART II.
Of the changes which the character of the institution has undergone by
legislation and practice. **
In prosecuting this branch of the examination, it is believed to be due to
the subject, and to a just understanding of it by the House, to correct a sin-
gular error contained in the before-named report of the Committee on Mili-
tary Affairs, made at the first session of the last Congress. On page 6 of
that report, the document which comes next in order to be noticed in this
report, is adverted to, viz: a message from President Jefferson to Congress,
dated March 18, 1808. The message says: “The scale on which the
Military Academy at West Point was originally established, is become too
limited to furnish the number of well-instructed subjects in the different
branches of artillery and engineering which the public service calls for.
The want of such characters is already sensibly felt, and will be increased
with the enlargement of our plans of military preparation. The chief en-
gineer having been instructed to consider the subject, and to propose an
augmentation which might render the establishment commensurate with
the present circumstances of our country, has made the report which 1 now
transmit for the consideration of Congress.”
Upon this message said report of the Committee on Military Affairs thus
remarks:
“This message was referred to Messrs. Nicholas of Virginia, Troup of
Georgia, Desha of Kentucky, Upham of Massachusetts, and Milner of Penn-
sylvania. The names of some of these gentlemen are identified with re-
publican principles, and they will not be suspected of having lost sight of
or disregarded the strict requirements of the constitution. This committee
reported a bill on the 12th of April, which added one hundred and fifty-six
ſº
10 [ Rep. No. 303. I
+
*
members to the corps of cadets, and which passed in the House by a vote
of 95 to 16.” *
The foregoing paragraph is entirely erroneous in the impression which
it imparts to the reader. The message was referred to the gentlemen
named, but they neither reported the bill mentioned, nor"made any other re-
port whatever, at any time, upon the message of the President,
The bill mentioned as having passed by a vote of 95 to 16, originated in
the Senate, and not in the House; and it never had the remotest connexion
with, or aſſinity to, the message" of the President, and was not referred to
the committee upon that message, but to a different committee, Moreover,
it will be found, upon examination, to contain not a single allusion to, or
provision in favor of the Military Academy at West Point; nor did it con-
template the addition of a single cadet to the corps of engineers, (which still
constituted the academy,) according to the impression conveyed by the re-
port of the Committee on Military Affairs. It added one hundred and fifty-
six cadets to the army; but these were distributed among different corps,
viz: Twenty cadets to the light artillery; one hundred to the infantry,
sixteen to the cavalry, and twenty to the riflemen. The title of the act
making this addition to the army, is “An act to raise, for a limited time, an
additional military force,” and was approved on the 12th of April, 1808,
(chap. 43.) In a report from the Engineer Department, communicated to
the chairman of the military committee of the House, on the 2d of April,
1822f in relation to this addition of cadets to the army, it is said, “very few,
if any of the cadets thus authorized, were appointed.” Nor was it until the
act of April 29, 1812, (chap. 72) entitled “An act making further provision
for the corps of engineers,” (four years after the above cited act,) that the
act of April 12, 1808, was made to affect, in any way, the corps of engineers,
or Military Academy at West Point. The operation of the act of 1808 was
altered so as to effect an enlargement of the academy, by the following pro-
vision in the act of 1812, viz.: “SECTION 3. That the cadets heretofore ap-
pointed in the service of the United States, whether of artillery, cavalry,
riflemen, or infantry, or that may in future be appointed as hereinafter pro-
vided, shall at no time exćeed two hundred and fifty; that they may be at-
tached, at the discretion of the President of the United States, as students, to
the Military Academy, and be subject to the established regulations thereof;
that they shall be arranged into companies of non-commissioned officers
and privates, according to the directions of the commandant of engineers,
and be officered from the said corps, ſor the purposes of military instruction;
that there shall be added to each company of cadets four musicians; and .
the said corps shall be trained and taught all the duties of a private, non-
commissioned officer and officer, be encamped at least three months of
* This message was referred in thc Senate on the day of its date. On the 28th of the same
month a bill was reported. On the 15th of April the bill was postponed until the first *}
of December then next following, and the consideration of it was not afterwards resumed. It
was, in substance, as follows: Section 1 provided for an addition of two captains, two first lieu-
tenants, and two second lieutenants and four cadets, to the engineer corps. Section 2 provided
for the enlistment of nine artiſicers and thirty-one men. Section 3 provided for removing the
academy to the city of Washington, and limiting the academical staff to one professor of natus
ral and experimental philosophy, one professor of mathematics, and two teachers under him;
one professor of engineering in all its branches, and, under him, the teacher of drawing and
the teacher of French, already authorized by the act of February 28, 1803. Section 4 provided
for the selection of a public lot for the site of the academy in Washington. Section 5 provided
for the admission to the academy for instruction of the cadets of the cngineer corps, and the
cadets of the army, and the midshipmen of the navy. See original bills on the files of the Senate.

each year, and tamght all the duties incident to a regular camp; that the
candidates for cadets be not under the age of fourteen, hor above the age
of twenty-one years; that each cadet, previously to his appointment by the
President of the United States, shall be well versed in reading, writing, and
arithmetic, and that he shall sign articles with the consent of his parent or
guardian, by which he shall engage to serve five years unless sooner dis-
charged; and all such cadets shall be entitled to, and receive, the pay and
emoluments now allowed by law to cadets in the corps of engineers.”
“SECTION 4. That when any cadet shall receive a regular degree from
the academical staff, after going through all the classes, he shall be con-
sidered among the candidates for a commission in any corps, according to
the duties he may be judged competent to perform; and in case there shall
not, at the time, be a vacancy in such corps, he may be attached to it at the
discretion of the President of the United States, by brevet of the lowest
grade, as a supernumerary officer, with the usual pay and emoluments of
such grade, until a vacancy shall happen: Provided, That there shall not
be more than one supernumerary officer to any one company at the same
time.” f - *
The act of 1808 being thus shown not to have been an offspring of Presi-
dent Jefferson's message of March 18, 1808, nor of the committee who have
been described, in part, “as identified with republican principles,” and it
being seen, also, that if the origin of that act had been as imputed, the pro-
visions of the act had no relation whatever to the Military Academy of 1802,
until four years after its passage, and then only by the provisions of another
act bearing an entirely different title. It may be further remarked, as a mat-
ter of history, that only two of the gentlemen constituting the committee of
1808 were members of the House of Representatives when the bill of 1812
was pºssed; both of whom voted so to amend the bill as to remove the in-
stitution into the District of Columbia where Congress possessed and exer-
cised then, as now, exclusive jurisdiction and legislation. Whether they
voted in favor or against the final passage of the bill does not appear of
record. But in further illustration of the design of Congress in this act,
the fact does appear by the journals of both Houses that the title of the bill
was amended in the House by substituting for the title of “An act to raise
an additional military force,” the title of “An act to raise for a limited time
an additional military force,” and this by a vote of yeas 58 to nays 29; and
after the proposition to amend it, by inserting after the word “raise,” the
words “for an unlimited time,” had been rejected.
From what has preceded, it is made manifest that history must exonerate
not only the name of Jefferson, but those other gentlemen described as
“identified with republican principles,” from all participation in the en-
largement of the Military Academy by the act of 1808, and in a manner
which that act did not contemplate. Mr. Jefferson, in particular, will be
so exonerated, on a review of the plan of enlargement submitted with, and
contemplated, in his before-named message of March 18, 1808. Such a
review will demonstrate the following positions:
1. He contemplated educating at the public expense only such persons,
whether officers or cadets, as belonged and were essential to the actual and
active military or naval force of the Government; in other words, which
* By an opinion of the Attorney General of the United States, (see Doc. 58, D, 1st sess. 19th
Cong.) the augmentation contemplated by this section of the statute is construed to be exelu-
sive of the ten cadets authorized by the act of March 16, 1802, thus making the aggregate
number of cadets 260. }
12 [ Rep. No. 303. I
may be quoted from his message, his only design at the public expense was,
so to augment the academy as “to furnish the number of well instructed
subjects, in the different branches of artillery and engineering, which the
public service calls for.” “The want of such characters,” says the mes-
sage, “is already sensibly felt, and will be increased with the enlargement
of our plans of military preparation.”
2. He contemplated an assessment to be made upon all other “youths
from any of the States, who might wish for such an education, whether design-
red for the army or navy, or neither, to the value of their education,” and to
“form a fund for extra or contingent expenses” of the institution by such
an assessment. “The citizen youth so adopted,” says his plan, “should
be required to sign the articles of war for the time being.”
3. He contemplated that, “as these youths grow up and take their sta-
tions in Society, they would naturally become militia officers, and in a few
years, in the ordinary course of events, we should see a uniformity in our
militia resulting from a spirit of emulation, which the reputation of having
received a military education would naturally excite.”
Such was the plan submitted by Mr. Jefferson in 1808, and to every mind
that has examined the plan of Mr. Secretary Knox, submitted to Congress
by President Washington, and that of Mr. Secretary McHenry, submitted
to Congress by President Adams, and that of the corps of artillerists and
engineers, which existed prior to the establishment of the academy in
1802, and that upon which the academy was originally established in 1802,
this important observation must occur, viz: That all of them, including
Mr. Jefferson's plan in 1808, were based upon this one and the same propo-
sition of educating no persons at the public expense, except those who are
of the army, who belong to the army, and who constitute a portion of the
regular military force of the United States, and are essential to the public
service. It was not until the act of April 29, 1812, before cited, that this
great distinctive principle and feature was partially departed from. Under
the operation of the same act, it was eventually lost entirely to the institution.
In a report from the Secretary of War, dated February 23, 1820," this change
was alluded to as follows: “The Military Academy has acquired a cha-
racter and importance which seem not to have been contemplated in its
original institution. It originated in the act of the 16th March, 1802,
which created the corps of engineers,” &c. And, again, in the same docu-
ment, the act by which the change was thus wrought in the character of the
institution is specifically pointed out as follows: “The institution was
further enlarged and changed in its character by the act of the 29th of
April, 1812.” t *.
To this change, whatever its character may have been, the name of Pre-
sident Madison has been sometimes cited as authority, by reference to his
annual messages to Congress in 1810 and 1811. In each of those mes-
sages he recommended the academy to the consideration of Congress. In
the former, to use his own language, “principally with a view to a more
enlarged cultivation and diffusion of the advantages of such institutions,
by providing professorships for all the necessary branches of military in-
struction ; and by the establishment of an additional academy at the seat
of Government or elsewhere.” In the latter message, he adverted to the
hostile spirit and acts of the British cabinet “in trampling on rights which
mo independent nation can relinquish,” and the necessity “ of putting the

[ Rep. Ne. 303. ] - 13
United States into an armor and an attitude" of war; and in this connex-
ion added, “nor can the occasion fail to remind you of the importance of
those military seminaries, which } every event will form a valuable and
frugal part of our military establishment.” It was at the last named session
of Congress that the act of 1812 passed. It is obvious, however, that the
recommendations of the above cited messages contemplated no change in
the academy, except an extension of it upon the same principles which had
previously characterized it, viz: that of making it a school of instruction
for those, exclusively, who actually constituted a portion of the military force.
of the United States, and were essential to the public service. But he ap-
proved the act in his capacity of President of the United States. How far
this secures to the institution, as it now exists, the authority of his name,
will appear distinctly in the examination about to be made into the pur-
pose in which it originated, and the operation of it subsequently.
The impending war with Great Britain gave impulse to both Mr. Madi-
son and Congress upon the subject of military instruction. This has
already been partially demonstrated, and will be completely, by a recur-
rence to the details of the Executive messages of 1810 and 1811, already
cited. The condition of the country being such, at that time, as to require
a very great numerical extension" of the military power of the Government,
as well officers as privates, corresponding provision for the instruction of
these in the art of war was justly regarded of like necessity to the security
and defence of the nation. The Military Academy was, for this purpose,
extended, as has already been explained, and in a measure to correspond
with the demand for an extension of the army and militia. The particu-
lar changes in the character of the academy, which were immediately ef-
fected in this extension, consisted of •
1. The provision for educating persons who constitute no part of the
effective military force of the Government;
2. The provision for educating such persons gratuitously at the public
expense; - &
3. The provision for thus educating such persons independent of all
obligation on their part to continue in the public service beyond the period
of completing their education. - * *
This last position is substantially correct, notwithstanding the enlistment
of the cadets was fixed at five years, and the term of their studies at four
years; and so all subsequent experience has demonstrated, f
The operation of the act could not immediately develop another change
in the character of the institution which has since resulted from it, viz:
An augmentation of the number of persons instructed beyond the wants of
the public service. *
To this latten feature, the institution is indebted to the continuance of
the act beyond the existence of that peculiar condition of the nation and
the nation's wants, which gave rise to the act, rather than to any original
design of the act. When the war of 1812 was terminated, the occasion
for the army and militia, upon their extended scale, was at an end ; and so
* The aggregate of the peace establishment, before the war of 1812, was 9,996 of commis-
sioned, warrant, non-commissioned officers, and privates.—American State Payers, vol. 1, on
Military Aſtairs, p. 785, 1832 edition. The total authorized force in 1813, after the declara-
tion of war, was 58,25t.—Ibid. p. 425. October 17, 1814, the military establishment amounted
to 62,448.-Idem p. 51 1. By the act of March 3, 1815, (chap. 231,) passed at the termination
of the war, the peace establishment was limited to 10,000 Enen. The total strength of the artny

was that of the academy upon its extended scale. The former, were ac-
cordingly reduced; but no corresponding reduction took place, nor has it
since been made, in the latter. The extension of the academy, under the
operation of the act of 1812, may, therefore, be said to have survived both
the original occasion and original design of it. Taking this view of it,
neither Mr. Madison's authority, nor that of the Congress of 1812, can be
fairly made responsible for this last great change in the constitution of the
academy. Had the army of the United States been continued down to this
day in the aggregate number to which it was extended at the commence:
ment of the war of 1812, viz: 58,254, by the Congress of that period and
by Mr. Madison, would the authority of either be fairly adduced in justifi-
cation thereof? or could either be justly made responsible for the principle.
or policy involved by such a course 3 É. candid mind must answer
in the negative. And, as the same reasoning holds good in relation to the
continuance of the academy upon its extended scale, the same negative
answer must be entertained as to the accountability of Mr. Madison, or
the Congress of 1812, upon that subject. - -
From the minute historical view which has been taken in the preceding
pages, it must be apparent to all that the institution at West Point is not
in principle, nor in practice, what it was under Washington, under the elder
Adams, and under Jefferson, nor what it was only designed to be under Mr.
Madison. What it now is, it has attained to, independent of the authority
of their illustrious names; if not against their authority.
Whether it is what it ought to be, remains now to be considered.

PART III.
Of the objections to the present constitution and operations of the Military
i. - Academy.
The three distinctive features of the change in the character of the
academy, effected immediately by the act of April 29, 1812, as already de-
lineatgd, viz: -
1st. The provision for educating persons at the academy, who constitute
no part of the effective military force of the Government; ,
2d. The provision for educating such persons gratuitously" at the public
expense; and, t -
3d. The provision for thus educating such persons, independent of all
obligation, on their part, to continue in the public service beyond the period
of completing their education—form very grave objections to the present
constitution of the academy; objections which are founded in the princi-
ples of the federal constitution, as well as a regard for a just economy in
the national expenditures. Even upon the supposition that the number of
personſ, thus educated only corresponds, annually, with the necessary addi-
tions to the public service, the constitutional power of Congress thus to
educate, without either a current recompense to the Government, or the
obligation for their future service, or to abide the wants of the Government, .
is certainly of a very doubtful character, if the exercise of it falls in any
degree short of positive assumption. * *
* This provision is utterly dissimilar to that of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst,
England. See part iv, of this report, for a synopsis of the terms of admission into that in-
stitution. .
I Rep. No. 303. I 15
If those who do not constitute any part of the effective military force of
the nation, actually in the public service, may rightfully be educated at the
public expense, upon the alleged possibility of a contingency that may ren-
der their services necessary and useful to the Government in its military
operations, and of a contingency that may also be of a character to induce
them to enter the service of the Government as needed, it is difficult to
discover why others may not be educated in like manner, at the public ex-
pense, with special reference to a possible contingency that may render
their services, also, necessary and useful to the Government, in its civil
operations, and to such a contingency, also, as may induce them to enter
the civil departments of Government service as needed. In other words,
if schools may be established by Congress, to educate men for the army, at
the public expense, and without their yielding any current recompense to
the Government, or binding themselves to its future service, in considera-
tion thereof, may they not, by a most obvious parity of reasoning, be estab-
fished to educate them upon the like easy terms, for diplomatists, or for
heads of departments, or for clerks and accountants? These are all ne-
cessary and constitutional officers of Government. For chaplains, also, in-
volving directly the science of theology and sectarian religion ? If such
schools are constitutionally instituted in relation to any one class of per-
sons beyond those in the immediate service and wants of the Govern-
ment, where will this exercise of power and Government patronage stop 3
It may be asked, where need it stop in its extension to other classes of our
citizens? Is not the National Government absolute in its guardianship of
the literature, science, and of every study that can enter into the education
of our citizens, for either military, civil, or religious employment in life 7 . In
this view, would there be any exercise of power remaining to, or obligation
resting upon, the State Governments, in relation to these matters, which
seem to be peculiarly and exclusively incident to the guardianship of the
State Governments Or can it be said that this guardianship is to be ex-
ercised concurrently by the Federal Government and the State Govern-
ments? The committee cannot think that such a position as this last will
be seriously advanced by any one. And yet, if it be not, the duty of foster-
ing literature and instituting seminaries of learning must devolve exclu-
sively upon the Federal Government, or exclusively upon the State Govern-
ments. If it devolves upon the latter, as it does clearly in the opinion of
the committee, then is it ºbvious that the National Government can only
rely for its contingent resources of this character upon the efficiency and
disposition of the State Governments to supply them, and as well in regard
to its military as its civil functions, and in the manner it is compelled
to do in relation to many supplies demanded and necessary in both its mili-
tary and civil administrations. Nor, in the former case of dependance, more
than in the latter, cases that arise from the constitutional reservation of
powers to the States, respectively, will an omission of the State Govern-
ments to adopt the requisite and prudential measures for furnishing such
supplies to the Federal Government, endow the Federal Government, even
in case of a contingency rendering them necessary, with constitutional
ower to relieve itself against the consequences of such omission, however
disastrous these might threaten to become. An omission of the State Gov-
ernments to exercise any power, or to discharge any duty devolving upon
and belonging to them, cannot add, in any degree, to the constitutional
power or duty of the National Government, no more than the exercise of
&
16 r [ Rep. No. 303. ]
usurped power by the former in any case can diminish that of the latter.
In the case of such omission by the former, and particularly relative to the
subject of education, it is easy to imagine that the National Government
may be unfortunately destitute of the resources best adapted to its purpose.
But the misfortune, when it shall occur in this manner, will fall upon the
same people who suffer the default in the State Governments, making it
thereby their interest to remedy it at once, by putting forth their energies.
through the latter Government. Herein lies the safety as well as wisdom of
assigning to the National Government specific functions, and of reserving
others to the State Governments exclusively, without assuming to make
either the National or the State Governments absolutely independent of the
other. This constitutional partition of powers should/be studiously pre-
served, as being both wise and safe ; and every attempt to justify an ex-
cessive exercise of power by the one Government, under the pretence of an
omission by the other to perform its appropriate business, ought to be
promptly resisted, however laudable the motive or desirable the design of
it may be in fact. -
The power and duty of instituting seminaries of learning, and of devis-
ing other means for the general improvement of the citizens for any parti-
cular and for overy purpose, being thus reserved to the State Governments
exclusively, the National Government cannot rightfully enter into any
attempt of the kind; certainly not to embrace any persons except those
actually in the public service and actually subject to the commands of
Government, and upon whom necessarily rests, for the time being, the exe-
cution of certain public duties. In this position, there is no denial of power
to the National Government to instruct, in all things essential to a proper
discharge of their official duties, all persons actually in the employ and
administration of the Government; although it may, at the same time, be
suggested as a mark of bad policy and bad economy in any Government
to have in its employ, for officers, individuals who have yet to learn the
theoretical and fundamental principles of their duties. Thus it is clear
that constitutional principles, principles of sound policy, and principles of
fiscal economy, are all opposed to these features of the institution at West
Point now under review. Policy and economy alike require that the in-
struction imparted at the public expense should be imparted to those per-
sons who are actually in the public service, or bound to render the public
a fair equivalent. The same principles, with still greater emphasis, demand
that instruction thus furnished should be limited to the number of persons
actually needed by the public service, if not to those who are actually in it,
or are bound to yield a fair equivalent. This last consideration brings us
to a fourth feature in the present constitution of the academy at West Point,
which also forms a powerful objection to it, viz:
4th. The provision made for educating persons, at the public expense,
in numbers far exceeding and disproportioned to the wants of the public
service. -
This feature, it will be recollected, was not originally in the institution,
nor the immediate offspring of the act of April 29, 1812; but it is the result
of continuing the expansive provisions of that act beyond the continuance
of the occasion and design which gave rise to it.
in a report of the Secretary of War to the House of Representatives,
dated January 28, 1831, it is said: “ISy an estimate of the last five years,
it appears that the Supply of the army from the corps of graduated cadets
[ Rep. No. 303. ] - £7
Has averaged about 22 annually; while those who graduate are about 40—
making, in each year, an excess of 18. The number received annually
into the academy averages 100, of which only the number stated, to wit,
40, pass through the prescribed course of education at school, and be-
come supernumerary lieutenants in the army. Thus it is perceivable that
but two-fifths of the young gentlemen who in each year are admitted to
the academy, succeed in passing through the regular course of studies or
obtain admittance into the army.” º
This proportion of graduates from the number admitted annually, is
considerably less than was estimated by the Engineer Department as early ,
as 1822. It was then said, “the average number of cadets to be admitted
hereafter 'may be estimated at 75 per annum, of whom about 20 will be
rejected at the first semi-annual examination ensuing their admission on
trial, and 15 others will resign or be otherwise separated from the academy
prior to the graduating of the class; so that the number of cadets who will
be ºilºš each year may be estimated at 40. Hence the proportion of
graduates to the whole number of cadets admitted upon trial may be esti-
mated hereafter as 8 to 15, or as 1 to 14. These results are derived from
calculations made by the superintendent, and are founded upon the most
certain data which can be obtained under the present eperation of the sys-
tem of education at West Point, and may be relied on as substantially
correct.” §
The committee are not aware of the cause which has thus diminished
£he success of the institution with its students since 1822, unless it is to be
found in the supineness and indifference which are apt to characterize the
functions of those who are the recipients of extravagant bounties or gratui-
tous support from the Government. It has been well said by an intelligent
writer on government, that “whatever each man does for himself, is done
well; whatever his neighbor or his country undertakes to do for him, is
done ill. It is wisdom to incite men to act for themselves, not to retain
them in a state of perpetual pupilage.”
Assuming the average number of cadets who enter the academy to be
100 annually, and the average number of graduates to be 40, and the
average number of vacancies in the army to be 22; demonstrating, thereby,
that only two-fifths of those who enter become graduates, and only a small
fraction more than one in five, or one-fifth, enter the public service; and
the unfruitfulness of the system of military instruction secured to the army,
in the present constitution of the academy, scarcely admits of controversy.
Still more objectionable does it appear in point of sterility when it is con-
sidered that the average number of cadets supported by the public treasury
at the institution throughout the year is 250—making the annual propor-
tion of graduates, as above estimated by the Secretary of War, to the whole
number instructed, fall short of one in sir, and the proportion of those ac-
tually entering the public service annually, to the number instructed, fall
short of one in elevent. Can such operations be characterized as successful?
Can an institution operating upon a scale so large, and yet accomplishing
results so limited, although so much beyond the demands of the public
service, be regarded as healthy and vigorous in its own constitution? Can
it be defended in its present extent as an institution founded in a just and
economical regard to the wants of the public service'?

is [ Rep. No. 303. ]
To educate at the public expense any number of persons who constitute
no part of the effective military force of the Government, and who are not
bound to yield an equivalent in future services, nor otherwise, finds no
justification in either of the plans of military instruction submitted by Wash-
ington, the elder Adams, and Jefferson; and much less does the educating
of any number of persons upon any conditions whatever, who are not
needed and cannot be employed to advantage in the public, service, find
justifiqation or authority in either of these illustrious names, nor in that of
Mr. Madison. The act of April 29, 1812, as has already been seen, and
under which the institution is now operating upon its extensive and fruit-
less scale, did not contemplate originally such results. The title as well as
the history of that act bears testimony to the designs of its framers to limit
the duration of its provisions by the war upon which the nation was enter-
ing.” The committee are aware that the policy, thus questioned and
repudiated by them, and of course the principle involved therein of educat-
ing persons at the public expense, according to the plan of instruction
pursued at West Point, in numbers greatly exceeding the demands of the
public service, have been gradually introduced into the administration of the
mational academy.
But it must be conceded on all sides, that they were never broached for
the acceptance and support of the people of this country, during the admin-
istration of either Washington, the elder Adams, Jefferson, or 'Madison, by
any person participating in the responsibilities of either of those administra-
tions, nor in any subsequent administration, until the institution at West
Point was found to be in the way of providing for the education of a much
larger number of cadets than the public service called for.
The following extract from a report of the Secretary of War, dated Jan-
uary 15, 1819, f may probably with justice claim to have first formally
announced this new theory, viz:
“The question [of an additional academy] ought not to be determined
by a reference simply to the wants of our military peace establishment,
which, from our geographical position, and the policy of our Government,
will always bear a small proportion to the population of the country and
to our military establishment in time of war. So far from graduating the
number and extent of our military academies, by the want of the army in
time of peace, the opposite principle would probably be more correct; that,
in proportion as our regular military establishment is small, the Govern-
ment ought to be careful to disseminate, by education, a knowledge of the
art of war. The cadets, who cannot be provided for in the army, will re-
turn to private life; but, in the event of war, the knowledge will not be
lost to the country.” i
It is most certain that such doctrine did not enter at all into the original
establishment of the academy at West Point; for it was virtually repudi-
ated then by the studious manner in which the plans of all its founders and
* See ante page 11. ſº

the number of vacancies in the army from the 1st of August, 1816, to the 1st of May, 1818,
was i 18, or 84 per annum. ł
“But,” continues the report, “as it is probable that the causes which have operated to pro-
duce so many vacancies in this time have been ageidental, and consequent on the change ſtom
active service to the inactivities of a peace esſablishment, there will not, 1t is believed, in tuture,
be so many; and that the cadets who will annually termina e their studies at West Point will
be equal, or neally so, to the annual average vacancies.”

original advocates limited its provisions to the actual demands of the mili-
tary establishment of the Government; and the plan submitted by Jefferson,
in 1808, required all supernumeraries, who might elect a military educa.
tion, to pay to the Government an assessment to the value thereof.” How-
ever successful the advocates of this new doctrine may have been with it,
in the continuance, until the present time, of the academy at West Point,
it cannot be believed that any new institution could obtain the sanction of
either Congress or the American people, if proposed mainly with a view of
forelaying possible contingencies in a similar manner, and if based upon a
scale so unproductive, and yet so exceeding the actual demands of the pub-
lic service. But if such be not a sound principle and correct policy upon
which to start an institution de novo, how can they be so regarded for the
continuance of an institution which otherwise must be subjected to modifi-
cation and reduction ?"
It may not be unprofitable to examine yet more in detail the operations
of the institution, with a view of illustrating, at the same time, the unpro-
ductiveness of it in graduates, considering the means which it absorbs, and
the disproportion of its products, nevertheless, to the demands of the public
Sel"W1Cé.
By table E, in the appendix to this report, based upon the details of doc-
uments Af and B, also, in the appendix, it appears, that from 1802 to 1815,
inclusive, the number of students admitted to the acădemy was 41S. The
number that graduated during the same period was only 157, or 159 by
document B. Thus is demonstrated that less than 2 in 5, of those who en-
tered, graduated; or, that the average number admitted annually, at the pub-
lic expense, was 29 and a fraction, while the average annual number of
graduates for the public service was but 11 and a fraction.
By the same data, it further appears, that of the number who thus grad-
uated and survived four years next succeeding the period of their graduat-
ing, respectively, (there being 141,) more than 1 in 4, and more than double
the number that died, viz: 39, resigned, without continuing in the public ser-
vice for the term of four years, respectively, after having graduated at the pub-
lic expense; and more than half of the 39 resigned before the expiration of
two years' service. By the same table it also appears that, of the 159 graduates
prior to the close of 1815, but 96 continued in the public service at the
termination of that year, being but a fraction over 1 in 5 of those that had
entered the academy, and less than 3 in 5 of the number who had gradu-
ated at the public expense; and not one-third more in number than actual-
ly graduated at the academy during the same year (1815) and the preced-
ing year alone ! In effecting this diminution, 28 had resigned; 19 died;
and 16 had been disbanded and dismissed ; demonstrating the average
number of resignations to have been, annually, more numerous, by up-
wards of one third, than the annual average number of deaths; and but
one-fifth less than the aggregate of all other vacancies combined
Such were the numerical products of the institution to the public service
during the first thirteen years of its operations; and such the aids derived
from it to the army of the United States. Following out the history of
those who graduated prior to the close of the year 1815, and who then re-
mained in the public service, the same table E shows that but 31 remained

in the army at the end of the year 1834—38 having resigned ; 16 died;
and 11 been discharged and dismissed ; demonstrating the number of re-
signations to have been within a fraction of one-half of all the survivors,
and more than double the number of deaths; and, within a fraction, one-
fourth greater than the number of deaths, dismissals, and of the disbanded,
combined
By table F, in the appendix of this report, also based upon documents
A and B, it appears that 1,318 students have been admitted into the acade-
my since 1815 and prior to the year 1831. That, during the same period,
470 have graduated at the institution, demonstrating that considerably less
than 2 in 5 of the number that entered have continued in it to graduate.
That, of the 470, 35 died within four years next succeeding the periods of
their graduating respectively, leaving 435; and that of this remainder, 76,
being more than double the number that had died, resigned, or declined
the public service, without continuing in it the term of four years, after
graduating at the public expense. More than half of these resigned with-
out so continuing in the public service for the term of two years
By the same documents it appears that, of the 470 graduates, only 265
continued in the public service to the end of the year 1830; 62 having
died or been dismissed, and 127 having resigned; demonstrating the num-
ber of resignations to have been more than double the number of all other
vacancies combined; and that the number so continuing in service equalled
only 1 in 5 of the number who entered the academy since 1815, and but a
few more than one-half of the number that had graduated at the public
expense during the same period.
Reviewing the operations of the academy from its establishment to the
close of the year 1830, it will be found from the data of the tables E and
F that less than 2 in 5 of those who have entered have continued to gradu-
ate for the public service; and that, within a small fraction, 2 in 5 of all
who have graduated have resigned the public service; that more than 1 in
5 of all the graduates have resigned without continuing in the public ser-
vice for the term of four years after graduating at the public expense; and
that of all vacancies in the army that have occurred, among graduates of
West Point, from resignations, deaths, and dismissals, combined, 2 in 5 have
been caused by resignations alone. This disproportion of the number of
resignations to that of deaths and dismissals conjoined, cannot but arrest
the attention of every mind still more forcibly, when it is considered that
the period under review has been in part a period of war and active ser-
vice, such as was calculated greatly to multiply the number of the two
classes of vacancies, with which that of the resignations is contrasted.
The conviction which inevitably follows each view that has been taken
of the operations of the institution, in reference to its productiveness for the
public service, is, that, as the institution is now constituted and conducted,
it becomes much more of an object to gain admission into it and to obtain
an education and concurrent support in it, at the public expense, than to
enter the public service aſterwards, there to continue any considerable
length of time. The principle upon which alone a school thus conducted
at the public expense can be made profitable to the public service—the
principle of rendering the admission into the school, and an education at it,
secondary in importance to an admission into the army and the public ser-
vice—has been inverted entirely. Admission into the army has obviously
become secondary to that of admission into the School; and the acquisition
f
[ Rep. No. 303. ] 21
of an education at the public expense has proved in practice to be the pri-
mary inducement of assuming to be a candidate for future public service.
Viewing the operations of the institution with reference to its fiscal ex-
penditures, and contrasting these with its numerical productiveness in
graduates for the public service, and an equally unfavorable result is de-
monstrated.
Table E, before mentioned, exhibits the expenditure with which the Gov-
ernment has been taxed in the education of each graduate for the public
service, from 1802 to the close of the year 1815; and table F extends the
same exhibit through the succeeding years to, the close of 1830. From
these data it appears that, during the period mentioned, the nett expense
to the Government to educate a cadet for the duties and station of an officer
in the army of the lowest grade known to the service, has been, in some
instances, as high as $24,360, and in no instance less than $1,432 94, in-
cluding the expenditures for buildings; and, without these last charges, as
high as $31,520 for a single cadet, and never, less than $903; and this,
including only such expenditures as are ascertained to have been actually
bestowed. It is known, nevertheless, that it is now out of the power of the
Government to ascertain the whole extent" of the actual expenditures made
during several years upon the institution, because of the mode in which
the accounts of them were kept, and, also, from the destruction of docu-
ments and vouchers by fire, in 1814. The same tables show, however,
that the Government has expended, to a certainty, $3,268,517 44 in
conducting the academy since its institution, and prior to 1834; this
amount, apportioned equally among the whole number of cadets that had,
in the mean time, graduated at the academy, viz. 784, demonstrates the
average cost of the education of each to the Government to have been
$4,169 02; and $4,075 22 for each graduated since 1815, and $3,098 05,
if nothing but pay, forage, and subsistence be brought into the account. If
the same sums were apportioned among those graduates who have actually
entered the public service, and continued in active service, not merely as
supernumeraries, the expense of each would be increased to the extent of
two-fifths of the above sums. It will be recollected that this calculation of
the Secretary of War, founded in experience, was, in 1831, that only twen-
ty-two of every forty graduates enter the service; hence, the expense of
each to Government is about $6,000.
In any view which can be taken of such operations and results, it is be-
lieved that they cannot but be regarded as a most unprofitable, and, there-
fore, wasteful expenditure of the public money. It cannot be doubted that
every essential branch of theoretic knowledge, imparted to students at this
institution, may be acquired at numerous colleges and public seminaries in
the country, by the same number of individuals at less than the fourth part
of the cost of it to Government at West Point Academy; in other words, up-
wards of fourfold the number of the youths of the country may be educated
by Government in all the essentials of theoretic knowledge to qualify them
for the public service, at numerous other literary institutions of the highest
order, of which our country can boast, and may justly be proud, that are
* In Doc. 79, 1st session of 21st Congress, House Documents, January 4, 1821, it is said:
“It is propér to remark, that, prior to the act of March 3, 1809, no separate account was
kept of the appropriations for the Military Academy; and up to the year 1812, inclusive, all
the accounts of expenditures of the War Department which had been settled, and sent to the
Treasury for revision, were destroyed in the year 1814 with the public buildings. It is, con-
sequently, impossible to furnish all the particulars,” &c.
22 [ Rep. No. 303. ]
graduated at West Point Academy as now conducted, and without adding one
dollar to the expenses of Government beyond the sums annually appropriated
from the Treasury for that institution. “A just economy, expending where
the public service requires, and withholding where it does not, is among
the indispensable duties of Government.” This simple, but most invalua-
ble axiom of a popular Government like our own, most fittingly enjoined
upon the consideration of Congress, in a late annual message of the Chief
Magistrate of the nation, seems to demand imperiously a practical applica-
tion of itself to the operations of the academy at West Point.
Passing from these objectionable features of the institution, another one of
graver aspectindeed is found in its evident want of moral power and influence
over the cadets. It is not intended by the committee to indicate an opinion
in this remark, that there has been any striking or censurable deficiency or
want of vigilance on the part of the officers of the institution, or that an
improvement in this particular is attainable; but rather to call the attention
of the House to the unavoidable tendencies of this system of gratuitous in-
struction, and to the opinion that it is not in the nature of an institution,
thus organized and conducted at the public expense, to exert that moral
power, and those salutary restraints, which are essential to the ends desired.
That individual interest and responsibility on the part of the instructed, and,
in some degree, on the part of the instructors also, that are the life-spring
of the literary institutions of our country, which have originated in, and are
conducted by, and are dependant upon, private and individual enterprise, will
ever be wanting to it, in all probability, and cannot be supplied by any exer-
tion of legislative power. There is discoverable the same laxity and impo-
tency in the theory of educating young men at the public expense, that are
known to attach to every enterprise conducted by the munificence of Govern-
ments. All experience teaches that, at least, a twofold amount of means, to
accomplish any given end, is necessary in the hands of Government that is
required in the hands of private individuals; and it is believed that the dis-
proportion is, upon an average, still much greater than here stated. It has
been seen, recently, in the pages of this report, that, from Some combination of
causes, peculiar to the constitution and operations of the academy at West
Point, less than two in five of the students who are ſound qualified to enter,
and that do enter it, continue in it to graduate ; and furthermore, that the
average expenses of the Government graduates there, are more than twofold
greater to the Government than those of the graduates at other institutions
of the highest grade in the nation are to themselves; demonstrating, in these
particulars, an inherent constitutional inefficiency and weakness in this
system of education.
By table A, appended to this report, it appears that the average annual
number of dismissals from the institution, during the ten years preceding
the close of 1831, has considerably exceeded one in four of the whole num-
ber that entered during the same period. This fact exhibits the institution
in singular contrast with every other institution of a similar high grade in
the country; in truth, this number, in all probability, exceeds the combined
delinquencies and dismissals of every other college in the Union. It may
be said that they are sometimes occasioned by the want of mental capacity
in the students to pursue the arduous course of studies required of them ;
but the same cause must exhibit like results in other institutions of the
highest grade in the country, if it were equal to the production of them at
this institution; and yet, in such other institutions, instances of the kind
}
[.. Rep. No. 303. I 23:
are rarely known. "Nor can the physical requirements at West Point be
regarded, with more justice, as productive of these results; on the contrary,
the physical duties of the cadet may be considered, without doubt, as pro-
ductive of health far beyond what is derivable from the means and ordinary
habits of any other body of students in the country. By the rules of the
academy, camp duty is required of the cadets only two" months in the year,
(although the act of 1812 requires three months,) and this period is se-
lected at midsummer, when it constitutes a luxury rather than a hardship;
other causes, therefore, must operate to effect the unfavorable and anoma-
lous results to which we have adverted.
In a communication of the Secretary of War to the House of Repre-
sentatives, dated February 28, 1828, this singular fact is thus adverted to :
“The experience of many successive years has shown that a considerable
number of those who are appointed, [cadets] from some cause, either inapti-
tude or irregular conduct, are dismissed.” .* - *
Pursuing this inquiry, the committee have examined “the conduct roll”
of the academy from 1826 to 1834, inclusive, excepting only that of 1832.
On this roll “all offences against orders or regulations are recorded.” These
offences are divided into seven grades, each of which grades comprises those
of nearly the same degree of criminality. The degree of criminality of of
fences of each grade is expressed by a number, as follows: Offences of the
first grade, by 10; of the second grade, by 8; of the third, by 5; of the
fourth, by 4; of the fifth, by 3; of the sixth, by 2; of the seventh, by 1.
For each year (after the first) that a cadet has been a member of the insti-
tution, his offences are made to count more, by adding to the number ex-
pressing the degree of criminality of each offence, one-sixth for his second,
one-third for his third, and one-half for his fourth year. The numbers ex-
pressive of the offences of each cadet are added up at the end of the year,
making a sum total of criminality. The following table, deduced from
4 the conduct roll” of the years mentioned, exhibits the most conclusive evi-,
dence of the moral inefficiency of the institution, though aided by the most
rigid regulations, and its inherent weakness against the spirit of insubordi-
nation to which young men are ever inclined to give indulgence, when con-
‘scious of their irresponsibility or their responsibility only to a power that
is a dependant recipient of the public bounty, and, consequently, solicitous
to husband for itself the friendly feelings “ of all sorts of men :”

It cannot be credited that any other institution of a similarly high grade
in the country, conducted by individual enterprise, upon individual re-
sponsibilities, and dependant for success upon its inherent energies and
moral power, has any thing in the history of its police that will at all com-
pare with the above table of the annual delinquencies and mal-conduct in
the academy at West Point; nor is it to be credited that any thing short of
a gratuitous education, and emoluments superadded, could induce parents.
‘to commit sons to" the charge of an institution in which so much and so
frequent irregularity of conduct, and such a spirit of insubordination, were
known to prevail. It is seen that scarcely one in twenty escapes the con-
tamination of the evil associations engendered there; for what period, let it
be asked, could any college, or institution of learning, conducted upon pri-
vate munificence and by individual interest, retain public confidence, or
the support of our citizens, were so large a proportion of its students found
deficient, annually, in their attainments, and under the necessity of being
turned behind their class, as has been the case in the institution at West
Point year after year? The answer must be the same on every side. Most
conclusively is the want of moral power and influence in the institution
demonstrated by its history and operations. # *
Since 1831 a new penalty has been added to the code of the academy
regulations, by which a dismissal is incurred by the commission of offences
to the amount of 200 in the scale of criminality for one year. Although
this rule has not been rigidly enforced, it is evident that it has had a most
salutary effect. Still the “conduct roll” of the institution is a swift witness .
against this system of education.
From other evidences, of an indisputable character, it is also very ap-
parent that the moral influences and power of the institution are not equal
to the unruly temperament of youth, and to the spirit of arrogance and in-
&

subordination" which is engendered and prevails there. In the latter part
of the year 1830, as appears by the House document No. 167, 1st session of
the 20th Congress, the Secretary of War, who is bound to exercise a super-
vision of the institution, felt constrained to censure, publicly, a portion of
the school, and characterized them as “regardless of correct deportment
and their own/interest,” and as “insensible to the objects for which they
had been placed there.” In 1828, $10,000 of the public money was appro-
priated to purchase a farm and tavern-house in the vicinity of the academy.
By a recurrence to the reasons inducing this expenditure, they will be found
to have originated in, and confined to, the acknowledged impotency of the
moral influences and government of the academy to compete with the
coventer-influences of the tavern.f
It is believed that such results are attributable almost exclusively to the
inevitable and natural tendency of a system of education founded in Gov-
ernment patronage alone. They cannot arise from want of rigid rules for
the government of the institution, any more than from a want of ordinary
vigilance in the officers attached to it. A mere glance at the rules prescribed
for the observance of both officers and cadets will at once dispel such a
suspicion. The error of these, if any there be, will, it is believed, be found
- rather upon the side of too much rigor than otherwise; for both the free-
domſ of speech and of the press are subjected to a censorship, so far as
the rights of cadets are concerned, unlike every thing to be found else-
where in our land. It is, therefore, in the nature of the institution itself, as
has been already remarked, that its moral weakness and inefficiency are to
be found. This characteristic is believed to be inseparable from an institu-
tion constituted and sustained as is the academy at West Point, exclusively
at the public expense, and not at the charge nor upon the responsibility of
either the instructors or instructed. -
It has been objected to the institution, that undue partiality has been
practised in the selection of individuals for admission into it. In former
years, as the tables A and B, annexed to this report, will illustrate, great
inequality existed in the apportionment of students among the several
States; in fact, there was no just rule of apportionment observed or as-
sumed in this respect. But, for six or eight years past, a remedy of this
objection has been attempted and practised upon. In a report of the Sec-
* Speaking of the cadets in the junior department of the Military College at Sandhurst,
England, M. Dupin, in his Military View, says, “Military discipline is preserved at the col-
lege with scrupulous attention; but it does not prevent the youths from feeling that they are
candidates for the profession of arms of a privileged rank. This is evident from the air of
pride which is observable in their carriage at an age when bashful timidity or unassuming
frankness is the usual characteristic.” [Vol.2, p. 78.]
t See debates of the House of Representatives upon the appropriation, reported in the Na-
tional Intelligencer of February 20, 1824, and debates in the Senate upon i. same, reported
in the same paper, under dates of February 28 and March 4, 1824.
# Ectract from the regulations of the Academy.
“118. No cadet shall sign any certificate or statement relative to personal altercations be-
tween members of the academy or army, or to any transactions of a private nature, without
the permission of the superistendent. 120. Any ºic who, in concert with others, shall adopt
any measures under pretence of procuring a redress of grievances, shall be dismissed the ser-
vice. 122. All publications relative to the Military Academy, or to transactions at the Military
Academy, are strictly prohibited. Any professor, assistant professor, teacher, academic order,
or cadet, therefore, who shall be at all concerned in writing or publishing any article of such
character, in any newspaper or pamphlet, or in writing or iii. any handbill, shall be dis-
missed the service, or otherwise severely punished. 147. The cadets are prohibited from tak-
ing any newspaper, or other periodical publication, without special permission of the superin-
tendent; and no such permission shall be given for more than one newspaper for each cadet,

retary of War to the House of Representatives, dated February 28, 1828,"
it was admitted that “the populous cities have had an undue share of the ca-
dets, compared with the country.” But an avoidance of this inequality was
also promised. However, the information of the committee upon the subject
ceases with the date of the promise, as the tables annexed designate only
the States whence the students have been selected. But there are instances
of the continuance of cadets at the school, after being once admitted, for an
undue and improper length of time, more indicative of personal favoritism,
or of a partial influence in the administration of the institution, than is any
other fact with which the committee have met in pursuing this investiga-
tion. And if, from what has transpired in relation to many cadets subse-
quent to their selection, just inferences can be adduced respecting the motives
that may have preponderated previous to, or in making the selections, the
conviction of every mind would be, that the charge of favoritism has not
been wholly without foundation. In truth, favoritism is a feeling and
weakness which will enter, more or less, into the dispensation of Govern-
ment patronage every where; and this is a consideration which should
admonish all legislators, who seek only the public good, to curtail the in-
dulgence of this passion, by limiting the bestowment of Government prefer-
ment and patronage to the smallest number of objects practicable. In nu-
merous instances, which an examination into the details of table A (annexed
to this report) will detect, have cadets been permitted to remain at West
Point Academy five, six, and seven years, at the public expense, to enable
them to graduate. Such instances mist have obviously operated to exclude,
for a like period, other applicants for admission ; and yet, capacities so
dilatory, whether from idleness or natural inferiority, would appear to be
the least fitted to be the recipients of the special indulgences and bounties
of Government. - º -
That the sons of the rich have been preferred to those of the poor in the
selection of cadets for the institution, is, also, a charge against the institu-
tion which has found a place in the suspicions, if not in the convictions, of
many honest minds. To what extent, if to any, it is founded in realities,
the committee are unable to say; it is, however, the every day observation
of all, that, where the same privilege is offered to the competition of the
rich and poor indiscriminately, the influence of wealth possesses a most de-
cided advantage, and will, in most cases, bear off the prize. When competi-
tors, thus unequally armed with power for ulterior good or evil to him who de-
cides between them, appear in the field, the arbiter begins to see somewhat of
his own interest involved, and to calculate what decision will elicit the strong-
est support of himself in the making of it. But this is a country of equal
rights and privileges, and no measure ought to be countenanced, and no insti.
tution sustained at the public expense, if it can, with any safety, be dispensed
with, that involves tendencies to impair or contravene this great principle
of equality, by inducing the hope of favor or reward to influence the mind
of him who decides upon the rival claims of his fellow-citizens. Talent,
merit, and industry, here, upon this hallowed soil of freedom, should have fair
play. Let Government refuse to interfere where the chances of its takingsides
with their only great rival, wealth, are against them; and though in their na-
tive nakedness, and unaided by family titles, or the pageantry of fashion, they
will attain their true elevation, and other qualities will lose none that be-
long to themselves : this is both a just and a practicable theory. Reflection

and observation will convince every man that, ordinarily, the poor lad of
industry and meritasks no favors of Government, if it will but withhold them
from others who are disposed to supersede him. As a general remark, it
is equally true, it is the rich and influential in community that are the first
to seek, and most aspiring in the pursuit of, the partialities of Government.
Perhaps their inducements in this are stronger, from their superior pros-
pects of success; and it would be very strange if these known principles of
human action have not entered largely into the acquisition, by this class of
citizens, of the privileges and preferment held out by Government in the
institution at West Point, though the fact be not susceptible of clear and tan-
gible proof. A conviction, so naturally deducible from general and acknowl-
edged principles, can hardly require much additional proof, in detail, to give
it currency. And while an institution is so much exposed to it as the acad-
emy at West Point, it cannot hope to command popular confidence, or exert
a salutary influence upon the public mind, it is believed that the academy.
has ceased to do so, and that popular feeling is averse to it. Already two
reat and enlightened States of the Union, through their Legislatures, have
eclared themselves opposed to it, as will appear from sheet marked G, in
the appendix to this report: the one, on the ground that it is “partial in
its operations, and wholly inconsistent with the spirit and genius of our
liberal institutions;” the other, on the ground that “it has been wholly
perverted from the designs of its founders, and that the best interests of the
nation require that it should be abolished.”
Upon general principles ef policy, this system of educating officers at the
public expense is not without serious objections arising from its tendencies
to create invidious distinctions and jealousies in the ranks of the army itself.
These, in turn, are calculated to give rise to the most dangerous embarrass-
ments in time of war and conflict with a foreign power. It is scarcely
necessary in this connexion to advert to the quite too ready inclinations of
military men to be jealous towards, and the rivals of, each other; nor to the
lengths which they are too apt, in their ardor, to be carried, under the
impulses of such passions. It is known to all, that more than once, during
the glorious war of the American revolution, did this class of causes con-
vert the fairest prospects of victory into embarrassments of the most imminent
danger. The purest patriotism that was ever kindled, or that has ever
burned within the breasts of men, was found quite too weak, at times, to
suppress the strong influences of such emotions, claiming as they ever
did, and as their kind ever will, a most intimate and delicate alliance with
the personal honor of the contending parties.
It is vain to expect that all the army officers of the United States, in
every emergency, will consist of those who have graduated at West Point
Academy. While it shall be otherwise, as it ever has been, still is, and in
all probability must ever be, invidious distinctions, pregnant with the most
baneful influences, and, at particular junctures, productive of all the
deplorable consequences which have just been adverted to, will obtain and
will be maintained in the ranks of the army, among its officers, affecting
the sympathies of every grade, from the major generals down to the lowest
subalterns. The officer educated at West Point will cherish, and, at times,
carry into his intefcourse with coadjutors, a sense of personal superiority
over another of his own grade, or even of a higher grade than his own,
who has entered the army through some other avenue and with less im-
posing pretensions. Such is human nature, as displayed in all the different
28 \
[ Rep. No. 303. ]
professions of life, and particularly in the military profession. At this
moment, the army of the United States exhibits numerous proofs in º
illustration and confirmation of this reasoning, as very slight inquiry wil
persuade every individual. In view of these admonitions, drawn from our
past history as a nation, and from contemporaneous evidences, as well as
being founded in the common sense and observation of mankind, it behoves
provident legislators to watch against every institution and system that is .
in any degree calculated to engender in the ranks of the army of the United
States distinctions, jealousies, and conflicting feelings of the character
described. º
Nor is the objection that has been considered founded in exclusive regard
for the feelings and natural relationship of the officers of the army. In a
nation like ours, based, as has been justly remarked by the Committee on
Military Affairs of a late session of Congress, upon the great principle of
amalgamating all orders of society, the feelings and prejudices of the
Soldier are to be in a measure consulted. A nation thus constituted cannot
be forced into submissive obedience to a class of military or other officers,
towards whom all previous observation has excited in the citizen feelings
of aversion and disrespect. Make it the known condition of filling up the
army of the United States at any juncture of danger, that the citizen soldier's
wishes are not to be consulted in the selection of your officers, and that, so
far from it, all his wishes and feelings are to be violated by placing over him
men whose education, habits, temperament, and feelings he has been ac-
customed to regard with a feverish dislike; and what will be the conse-
quences? Either a failure in filling up the desired ranks, or the earliest
discharges of their musketry will be to rid themselves of their obnoxious
commandants, and to devolve the duty of command upon some more con-
genial comrade. Ask the old soldiers and officers from among the people,
who have served in the battles of our nation, if they have not seen these
very results effected beyond all reasonable doubts, in cases where such dis-
affection has been general between privates and their officers; and the answer
will be in the affirmative. Can it be doubted, that when the “bone and
muscle” of our countrymen shall come into the field, they will demand for
their captains and their generals, men who have feelings in common with
themselves—men who, like themselves, know well the temperament of man-
kind, from having mixed with them in all the various pursuits of life? These
must and will constitute the chief materials for your officers at such a
crisis, let what may be done, and let what may be said, in organizing,
sustaining, and displaying military schools and their cadets. Were the
country now in a condition to desire the presentation of some valorous and
commanding spirit; a man, or set of men, endowed with the genius and
heroic talents of Washington, to guide our forces to battle and victory,
would the experienced and practical eye overlook the great multitude of
brave, efficient, and energetic men, with which private life abounds, and
rest its only or principal hopes upon the resources or materials of West
Point Academy? or upon any of the graduates of that institution, in con-
sideration only of their past association with it? It is believed that the
hopes and confidence of the people would obtain a very different direction
at such a juncture. On such occasions, he who is made by nature and
by inherent worth the master-spirit of his kind, will stand forth regardless
of diplomas, and regardless of the compliments of examining committees,
as also of the tinsels of scholarship, and at a single blast of the war-note, in-

fused with his own chivalrous spirit, the multitude would seek his standard
in preference to that of all others; and his would be the arm most relied
upon to defend the nation's rights and the nation's honor; and the ruling
motive in the selection of their chief would operate in the choice of com-
mandants under him. All history teaches these truths, insomuch that they
almost entirely cease to partake of prophecy. And hence it is believed to
be in vain to think of eliciting, in times of profound peace, by any provi-
sions of art, of discipline, or of legislation, that talent and those extraordi-
nary traits of character, which are destined, and best qualified in the hour of
danger, to rush into an ascendancy over the minds of men, and with giant
powers to control the fortunes of a great people. War alone can summon
forth such spirits, and they are peculiar to a state of war.
These considerations and this reasoning result in the conclusion, that
the graduates at West Point are not the men upon whom the command of
the army of the United States will probably devolve, or upon whom the
army itself will suffer to be devolved the command, in case of war. Their
artificial qualifications will not win the confidence of American soldiers.
The feelings and the prejudices which are already abroad towards them,
will stand forth as insuperable obstacles when the yeomanry of the land
shall be required to take the field. And hence, however the institution
may be calculated to make a glittering array in time of peace, or to qualify
young men for professors in other literary seminaries, for novelists and
magazine writers, and otherwise for fashionable life, (and for all these pur-
poses its capabilities are conceded to be pre-eminent, if improved,) the sup-
port of it is nevertheless but a useless waste of the public money, so far as
the substantial interests of the nation and people, as a government, are con-
cerned.
The committee are far from an intention to detract from the proud ser-
vices which were rendered by some of the graduates of the institution dur-
ing the late war with Great Britain. These have been referred to in sup-
port of the institution quite frequently. They are acknowledged to be of a
character to reflect the highest credit, but not so much upon the institution,
as upon the men themselves. Were the institution to rest its merits upon
such evidences, and covet of these brave men the primary honors of their
valorous achievements, it would still lead to a course of argument which
must result more to the prejudice than to the advantage of the institution.
For when it is considered how “few and far between” were the instances
during the war that they in fact did not exceed six, or eight at most, from
the whole number of persons that had graduated, which will yield this re-
commendation thus claimed for the institution, its utility could hardly be
questioned upon more solid or conclusive grounds. The paucity of the
numbers" of the graduates for which distinction can be claimed, of itself
demonstrates how little advantage is to be counted upon in time of war
from its operations and influence. But, apart from this, it cannot be doubted
that the distinguished men thus pointed at would have been brave, valor-
ous, and distinguished, under any circumstances, and even though they
had never seen the institution at West Point.
Other men were equally brave, equally valorous, equally distinguished,
and equally successful in the same crisis, without having participated pre-
* Only nine officers who were graduated at West Point, of all grades in the service, since
the first establishment of the institution to July, 1834, have been killed in battle. See Regis. .
ter of officers and graduates of the academy published in July, 1834, page 21.
30 [ Rep. No. 303. ]
viously in either its instruction or discipline. Each was qualified to be
so by nature, and not by the mere force of circumstances; and one of the
truths upon which this report is founded, is, that such men will be found in
every emergency of our country, with or without any factitious aids. In
fine, as late as in 1819, long subsequent to the war, it was explicitly assert-
ed in an official paper, by Brigadier General Bernard and Colonel McRee,
of the engineer corps, whose combined authority cannot be questioned by
military men, that “the elementary school at West Point has hitherto been
very inferior as such, and altogether inadequate to the objects for which it
was established. If any [cadets] have been so fortunate as to render them-
selves serviceable either in the artillery or engineers, the cause must be
sought for in their own industry, and not in the education received by them
at West Point, which was barely sufficient to excite a desire for military
inquiries and of military pursuits.” See Ho. Doc. 115, p. 7, 2d sess. 15th Cong.
The committee will conclude this division of their report with adverting
to one other objection, that appertains to the present constitution and opera-
tion of the academy. This is its exclusion as officers from the army of the
United States, as also from becoming candidates for office in the army, all
persons above the age of twenty-one years, as well as all persons under that
age who do not previously obtain admission and graduate at the West Point
Academy. All above the age of twenty-one years are excluded by law
from admission into the academy; and as those who graduate there are
entitled to precedence in filling vacancies in the army, from their being com-
missioned by brevet, as Supernumeraries, when vacancies actually exist, and
as these are far more numerous than the vacancies that occur annually, the
operation of the institution has the effect stated, of excluding unqualifiedly
all persons above the age of twenty-one years, from entering, as officers,
the army of the United States, however pre-eminent they may be in
qualifications; and furthermore, it secures both the honors and emoluments
of the military service of the country to the select number exclusively, who
graduate at West Point. No inducement whatever is left for the acquisi-
tion by our citizens of military knowledge at their own expense, however
much disposed, nor for the institution of military Schools; and no competi-
tion is allowed those endowed with military ardor and genius adapted to
the profession of arms, unless they are under the age of twenty-one years,
and are also numbered among the West Point cadets. º
It is believed that such an operation is more baneful to the army of the
United States than all the other results of the academy are beneficial ; and
that, by this monopoly of privileges, much of the best talent and many of
the most invaluable men for military services, to be found in the country,
are proscribed from the pursuit of the country's highest good, as well as
from their own, in the way that best admits of the accomplishment of both.
It is not until men are past the age of twenty-one years, that their charac-
ters are generally sufficiently formed to determine the pursuit for which
they are, by nature and cducation.combined, best adapted. Nor is it until
they have passed that period of life, that they ordinarily understand their
own characters and bent of mind suſliciently to select, discreetly, the pur-
suit in which they can be of the greatest benefit to themselves, their fellow-
citizens, and country. But the principle upon which the academy at West
Point is founded, in this respect, presupposes cducation and discipline to be
every thing; and that, with suitable care in the direction of these to a given
end, a pursuit or profession for life may be entered upon at random; and,
[ Rep. No. 303. I 3R

therefore, that boyhood and youth are equally safe as manhood or maturity
of years, in making a selection! . In principle and in theory this is believed
to be wrong, and the annual results of thirty years' practice upon it furnish
full demonstration of the error. f
The army of the United States, in all its grades, should be kept open to
the fair, manly, and impartial competition of all citizens, like every other
department of Government. 3.
And no discouragement, much less actual exclusion, of any one denomina-
tion, who are able of body, from seeking its honors, ought to be countenanced,
and certainly not to be reduced to system. Such a policy is adverse to the
genius of our free institutions, and is suited only to those Governments
under which distinctions and privileges are hereditary, and men are made
the creatures of Government, and not Government the creature of men.
It is alike the interest and the duty of Americans to repudiate it, and to
guard their institutions against every similitude of it.
PART IV.
Of the modifications which are requisite to adapt the institution at West
Point to the present condition and wants of the nation.
|From the nature of the objections to the present constitution, operations,
and expense to the Government, of the Military Academy, already deline-
ated in the preceding pages, one of the obvious modifications required in
the institution, to adapt it to the present condition and wants of the nation,
is, to abolish entirely the system of educating cadets in the elementary and
theoretic sciences. The numerous, extensive, and economical facilities that
are furnished by colleges, and other literary seminaries, now in successful
operation in nearly every section of the Union, for qualifying the youth of
the country in all the branches of elementary and theoretic sciences in-
volved in the art of war, and now taught at the Military Academy, consti-
tute additional considerations in favor of this modification.
Instead of the instruction which shall be thus discontinued, it is recom-
mended that the same thorough knowledge of the several sciences which
it involves, and which are applicable to all arms of the service, as well as
to each particular arm, be prescribed as indispensable qualifications for ap-
pointment to the lowest grade of commissioned officers in the army of the
United States; lessening at the same time, or not, the number of supernu-
merary officers of this grade, now admitted to appointments. It is believed
that the standard of scientific qualification for admission to official rank in
the army, however elevated it may be, being once made known, will be at-
tained by numbers vastly disproportioned to the vacancies that shall exist
at any crisis; and that the Government will never be in want of candidates
for appointments and promotion, of character and capacities to reflect honor
upon the service. The enterprise and the ambition of the young men in
this country are equal to the most exalted requirements of the Government,
and need only reasonable incentives and open field of honorable competition
to elicit both.
The proposed changes will make rootn for a provision which has been
a great desideratum with military men in this country, and most needed to
secure perfection in “whatever relates to the discipline, conduct, and ad-
ministration of troops,” viz: the institution of a school of application and
32 I Rep. No. 303. J
practice of those elementary and theoretic sciences which are proposed to
serve in future as the initiatory qualifications of persons commissioned in
the army, and for their improvement and perfection in the art of war, upon
an extended and liberal scale of all who shall, with these qualifications,
become officers in the service of the United States.
. It might have been stated, as, an additional objection to the academy as
now organized and conducted, that, with the exception of a select few, the
cadets do not, in their whole course of exercises, become used to practical
command to any extent. At the academy they acquire no experience as
commandants, and receive their knowledge of such duties only theoretically
at best. The extent of their actual discipline and practice is bounded by
the exercises of private soldiers and non-commissioned officers. . When,
therefore, they go forth from the institution to assume command, they go
forth as novices still in their ulterior and most important duties, except in
theory, and have yet to acquire that finishing tact, which can alone give
value, or secure success, to all their preceding labors and study, and test
their usefulness in Service.
The necessity and benefits of a school of application and practice have
been frequently the subjects of official recommendation by practical mili-
tary men. But, so far from being necessarily united with a school of ele-
mentary instruction like the present institution at West Point, in order to
give it efficiency and success, a total separation of it from such an institu-
tion has been specifically recommended by military men of high authority
in both theory and practice. Gen. Bernard and Col. McRee, in 1819, in a
document already adverted to in this report,” and after reviewing the worth
of the academy at West Point, say: “We are of opinion that a school of
application is decidedly necessary to the military service of the country;
that to be rendered efficient, it ought to be separate from all immediate con-
nexion with any other institution.” Gen. Thomas S. Jesup, under date of
November 5, 1823, in an official document, said: “The importance to the
army of a school of practice is too obvious to require demonstration. With-
out such an establishment, uniformity of discipline cannot be expected;
nor can the Government be sufficiently acquainted with the character, ca-
pacity, and attainments of its officers, to be able to employ them with ad.
vantage in the event of war. In developing character and talent, a school,
properly organized, would have the same advantage in peace which active
service would have in war.”f Maj. Gen. Brown, under date of January
12, 1827, t after adverting to the operations of the academy at West Point,
said: “It seemed, however, almost in vain that military education should
be fostered, if it were to terminate with the course of studies at West Point;
and a school of practice was anxiously looked to as a supplemental insti-
tution, in which the theoretic instruction of the academic graduate might
be applied with good effect to the practical duties and relations of military
service.” *
Thus it is seen that while the elementary and theoretic school may, and
should, upon every principle of constitutional restraint enjoined by the na-
tional compact, upon principles of sound policy and national economy also,
be dispensed with, in a confident reliance upon other organized Seminaries,

not dependant upon the public treasury for support, to impart all elementa-
ry and theoretic instruction now derived ſrom such a #ehool, supported at
the public expense, it is seen to be no less expedient to supply the army
with a school of a different order—a school of application and practice-1.
such as can exist, and is needed to exist, for the purposes of the National
Government. The modifications of the present institution at West Point,
which are proposed to be resolved into this result, combine great simplicity,
a vast annual Saving in the expenditures of the public money, and increas-
ed efficiency and directness in the improvement of the army officers of the
United States; besides removing all invidious distinctions among them.
They will confine the public expenditures in support of the school to those
persons exclusively who will, without this, be in the pay of the Govern-
ment—to persons who will be actually in the service of Government, and
who will be also rendering it a recompense while in the improvement of
themselves; in that they will constitute, for the time being, a substantial
part of the military ſorce of the nation, and be liable “ at all times to do.
duty at such placcs, and on such service, as the President of the United
States may direct,” precisely as were the officers and members of the Mili-
tary Academy in the days of Jefferson.
But, as a consideration of still more decisive and important bearing,
these modifications will keep wide open all the grades of office in the army
to the free and honorable competition of all classes of citizens, and encou-
rage a spirit of cmulation and improvement in the acquisition of scientific
knowledge and in the profession of arms throughout the country, and as
well among the privates in the ranks who may aspire to promotion, as
among citizen soldiers in general. The attainment of such a state of feet-
ing, and the establishment, or rather restoration to the citizen and soldier,
of these equal privileges and prospects of honorable employment and pro-
motion in the military service of his country, from all of which he is now
cut off by the privileged classes graduated at West Point, cannot fail to
produce a most salutary eſſect and renovation of spirit in the military in-
stitutions of the several States of the Union, as well as a most decided in-
provement among the privates and officers, and in the general administra-
tion of the army of the United States.
The whole circle of abstrusc sciences involved in the art of war will
Mikewise receive a new impulse throughout the Union, by thus removing
the bars which now ſorbid to all, but the West Point graduate, the practical
improvement of thern, in the broad field furnished by the military opera-
tions of the National Government. *
, , Collegiate education, in every State, will be of increased value to the
Annerican youth by this enlargement of the prospects of successful employ-
meat in the public service. Actual merit in the pursuit of military prefer-
ment and renown will acquire by it a new elevation in our republic, and
be no longer dependant for mastery and station upon political influences and
personal ſavoritism, wealth and local habitations, but upon the certain and
unalterable laws of science. -
This, it is confidently asserted, should be the case. It comports with
the genius of freedom and equal rights which so strongly marks our insti-
tutions, and which hits been so eloquently and justly commended to the
guardianship of every succeeding generation, in both word and deed, by
the patriotic ſounders of our Government.

formation of our own institutions to those of European Governments.”
They are aware, and proud of the fact, that the people of this country are
not bound to their Government through feelings of mixed admiration and
fear, excited by its stupendous powers, by imposing extravagancies, by
gaudy decorations, and by servile imitations of the corrupting devices of
arbitrary Governments on another continent. It is the simplicity of their
Government, the economy of which it is susceptible without impairing its
officiency, the few powers in fact which it requires to be exerted for all
purposes of protection to its citizens in their pursuit of the blessings of .
liberty to themselves and their posterity: these are what distinguish and
endear it in the estimation of our constituents and countrymen. * -
It may, however, be remarked, that the theory of the school of applica-
tion and practice contemplated by the committee finds in its general fea-
tures a confirmation in the experience of other Governments, where the
option of theories for schools of this class has been exercised without re-
straint from any limitations of constitutional law, and where economy in
public expenditures is graduated only by the latitudinarian axiom, that “a”
public debt is a public blessing,” and, therefore, no considerations of that
character induced the preference. - -
The Royal Military College at Sandhurst, England, which was instituted
in 1799, originated in “the necessity of forming regimental officers, and
more particularly those of the staff, with a more perſect knowledge of the
theory of the art of war.i Officers, exclusively, were the pupils. In 1801
a royal warrant gave regularity to the attempt which had been made in
the two preceding years. By this authority, a supreme board, composed
of the commander-in-chieſ, the Secretary at War, the heads of the princi-
pal military departments, and several general officers, received a discretion-
ary power to establish, by rules and statutes, the government and adminis-
tration of the college, ''The institution was divided into two departments,
differing in the nature of the studies, as well as in the age and rank of the
pupils. That for officers studying for the staff of the army, which was
reserved exclusively for such as had attained to manhood, was termed the
senior department; the other, for youths previous to their entrance into the
service, the junior department.”, in 1808, improvements were instituted in
the organization of the college. The youth admitted into the junior de-
partment, with the title of “gentlemen Gadets,” are of three classes. 1st.
The sons of officers of all ranks, whether of the land or sea ſorces, who
have died in the service, leaving their families in pecuniary distress. 2d.
The sons of all officers of the army above the rank of subalterns actually
in the service, and the Sons of living naval officers, of rank not below that
of masters and commandant; and the orphan sons of oſlicers who have not
left their families in pecuniary diſficulties. 3d. The sons of noblemen and
private gentlemen. All but the first class pay annual stipends to the col-

could be safely adopted by the United States. They are unexceptionably diffel ent from each
other; and, like all other human institutions, seem to have started as much out of accident as de-
sign. The local situation of the country, the spirit of the Government, the character of the nation,
and, in many instances, the character of the Prince, have all had thgir influence in settling the
foundatiou änd discipline of their respective troops, and render it impossible that we should

The stipend paid by the second class varies from £30 to £75 per annum for
each cadet. The amount paid by the third class is £125 for instruction,
board and clothing, washing, medical attendance, &c.
“The object of the senior department,” says Dupin, “is to instruct of.
ficers already in the service, in the scientific parts of the art of war, that
they may afterwards be enabled to discharge, with the greatest possible ad-
vantage, the functions of commanding officers of corps, or of situations in
the staff of quartermaster and adjutant general, whenever promotion or
the circumstances of warfare may summon them to such employments.”
No officer is received into the senior department until he has undergone a
preliminary examination, in a satisfactory manner, relative to his qualifica-
tions to enter upon the practical exercises which constitute the course of
instruction in that department. These exercises embrace, in the outline,
“the mathematics, ſortification, castramentation, military topography, recon-
noisance of ground, estimation of the military resources of a country, dis-
position and movement of troops under different circumstances of offensive
and defensive warfare,” and translation of French and German military
works. The period of residence of an officer at the college is fixed at one
year. - ^. *
Thus it is seen that the principle of requiring individuals to educate
themselves for admission into the English service as officers, and prepara-
tory to entering upon the practical exercises of the senior department of
the Royal Military College, has always been practised upon, with the excep-
tion of the very few instances coming within the description of “sons of
officers who have died in the service, leaving their families in pecuniary
distress.” The principle is not affected by the provision for educating the
cadets, for an equivalent, in their preliminary qualifications, at an institution
conducted by the Government. * -
The policy of it there is probably founded in: 1st, a purpose to pre-
serve both the forms and spirit of a privileged order in the military service.
2d. In the obstacles which debar the attainment, at so small cost, of a.
similar preparatory education at other existing institutions and colleges.
Neither of these considerations obtains weight in this country, but the op-
posite of both prevails. And hence the opposite policy is recommended, of
dissevering from the control and patronage of the Government so much
of the present system of military education at West Point, as corresponds
to the junior department of the Military College at Sandhurst. *
To carry into effect the views and positions of this report, the committee
submit, here with, a bill which provides:
1st. For abolishing the education of cadets at the public expense.
2d. For the organization at West Point of a military school of applica-
tion and practice, in which the officers of the army of the United States
shall be instructed to apply, practically, for military purposes, the several
f
branches of the elementary and theoretic sciences involved in the art of
Wà l'. * #
3d, For the appointment of a superintendent, and assistant instructors

of said school, and prescribing the outline of their duties. -
4th. For the detachment of officers to attend said school, and for their

government while there, and for the detachment of artillery and infantry
to aid in the practical experiments thereof, as may be necessary.
5th. For the salaries of the superintendent and assistant instructors,
6th. For an annual report to Congress of the proceedings of the school,
and other information relative to the organization and police of the same.
7th. For prescribing the qualifications requisite for appointment to office
in the army of the United States, and for a board of examiners to pass
upon the applications and qualifications of candidates ſor appointment in
the army. | ,
8th. For regulating the selection of candidates for appointment as officers
in the army from the number reported by the board of examiners as quali-
fied, according to law.
9th. For regulating appointments in the differents corps of engineers.
10th. For the removal of the superintendent and assistant instructors of
the school from the offices filled, by them, respectively, without affecting
their rank and command in the army.
The committee will conclude their report with remarking, that the effect
of this measure, if adopted by Congress, will be to lessen the patronage,
simplify the operations, and economize the administration of Government;
to open the honors and emoluments of the military service to the fair and
honorable competition of all classes of citizens; to encourage an exfended
cultivation of the sciences involved in the art of war, and renovate the mili-
tary ardor of men in cvery State of the Union ; to make superior merit the
only standard of preferment; exciting the emulation of youth every where
in the land; disheartening the patriotic anbition of none, and strengthen-
ing the attachment of the American people collectively to their institutions
and laws. In fine, it will opportunely check the tendency of the Federal
Government to expand its powers into the disputed regions of constitutional
law, in following out the indeſmite permission “to raise and support armies.”
If any individual shall be disposed to distrust the effect of it upon the
system of military instruction provided for the army, in the spirit of the
wife of Theopompus, King of Sparta, when she rebuked his establishment
of the ephori, a set of magistrates to hold in check the exercise of power
by the king himselſ, on the ground that he would thereby leave the king-
ship diminished to his sons; let the admonitory reply of 'Theopompus, in
the same spirit of elevated patriotism and political foresight which con-
ceived it, be recalled and applied in answer—“I shall leave it smaller, but I
shall leave it more permanent.”

ADJUTANT GENERAL's OFFICE,
Washington, January 20, 1835.
SIR : Herewith, I respectfully submit a statement embracing the names
and military history of all the cadets, being graduates of the Military
Academy, who have been appointed, or received commissions in the army,
in conformity to the special call of the chairman of the Select Committee
on the subject of the Military Academy, the Hon. F. O. J. Smith, of the
House of Representatives. The statement enrols 781 graduates, of whom
219 have resigned, as officers of the army; died, 97; dropped or dismissed,
17; now remaining in the army as commissioned officers, 351; beside the
69 supernumeraries, brevet 2d lieutenants remaining on the 31st Decem-
ber, 1834 as “candidates for commissions,” who probably will not all be
absorbed in the army sooner than June, 1837; making the whole number
of graduates now in the army; 420.
I am, sir,
With great respect,
our obedient servant,
R. JONES,
Adjutant General.
For the Hon. L. CAss,
Secretary of War.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Third Auditor’s Office, December 27, 1834.
SJR : I have the honor to return the letter of the Hon. Francis O. J.
Smith, referred to this office, in which he “requests, by direction of the Se-
lect Committee of the House of Representatives on the subject of the Mili-
tary Academy, to be furnished with a statement of the whole amount of
money that has been appropriated for the purchase, construction, and repairs
of buildings and appurtenances for the Military Academy at West Point,
from the 1st July, 1815, to the present time,” with the accompanying state-
ment. The acts making appropriations for the Military Academy, it will be
perceived, do not designate, except in a few instances, the sums appropri-
ated under the heads called for by the committee: hence, where they are not
so designated, the amount could not be stated from the appropriation ac-
counts in this office; they being in all cases kept according to the appro-
priations, as directed by law. In order, therefore, to give the committee the
best information on the subject which the records of this office afford, the
accompanying statement has been prepared, exhibiting every appropriation
made during the period called for, designating the amounts, where they are
specified, for any of the objects called for by the committee.
I have the honor to be,
Most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
PETER HAGNER, Auditor.
Hon. LEw Is CAss,
Secretary of War.

166 I Rep. No. 303. I
G.
º STATE OF TENNESSEE.
A resolution in relation to the Military Academy at West Point, in the
- State of New York.
Whereas many of the good citizens of these United States have viewed
with deep and manifest interest the vast appropriations of public money for
the support of the Military Academy in the State of New York—a few
young men, sons of distinguished and wealthy families, through the inter-
vention of members of Congress, are educated at this institution at the ex-
pense of the great body of the American people, which entitle them to
privileges, and elevate them above their fellow-citizens who have not been
so fortunate as to be educated under the patronage of this aristocratical in-
stitution: And, whereas, it is considered by this General Assembly that
such institutions are repugnant to the great and fundamental principles of
our Government, by creating a demand upon the Government for a large
amount of money to support and protect an institution almost unknown
to the people, and well calculated in its character to fill all the offices in the
army of the United States under the patronage of the Government, to the
exclusion of the meritorious and talented portion of the country, who have
not received their academical education at the Government school; such
a power is wholly unknown to the constitution of the United States, and at
war with those principles and maxims which should ever be held sacred by
a free and enlightened people. Since the year 1794, when this institution
was established as a corps of artillerists and engineers, it has gradually
set up claims to Government patronage by acts of Congress ſrom time to time,
increasing the pay, rank, and emoluments of its officers, as well as the
number of cadets, until the year 1812, when an appropriation of twenty-
five thousand dollars was made by Congress to erect public buildings, and
procuring a library, apparatus, &c., and is now supported by annual appro-
priations by the Government; all of which is viewed as an unnecessary
expenditure of the public funds: therefore,
1. Resolved by the General Assembly of the Stale of Tennessee, That
our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our represcntatives requested,
to oppose the passage of all laws making further appropriations for the
Support of said institution.
2. Resolved, That the Secretary of State cause a copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolution to be furnished each of our senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress.

Speaker of the House of Representatives.

{ Rep. No. 303. ] 167
STATE OF OHIO.
Resolutions in relation to the Military Academy at West Point, in the
State of New York. 4
Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the Mili-
tary Academy heretofore established at West Point, in the State of New
York, and supported exclusively by the funds of the General Government,
is partial in its operations, and wholly inconsistent with the spirit and genius
of our liberal institutions.
Resolved, therefore, That said military establishment ought to be abolish-
ed; and that our senators in Congress be instrućted, and our representatives
requested, to oppose any further appropriations for the support of the said
academy; provided, that no representative shall be considered as being re-
quested to vote against the known wishes of his immediate constituents.
Resolved, That the Governor of this State transmit to each of said sena-
tors and representatives an authenticated copy of the foregoing resolutions.

army, who have resigned their commissions within the last two years, and
the dates of their resignations, respectively; which of them graduated at
West Point Academy, and the dates of their graduating, and the States
from which they were, respectively, appointed as cadets?
2d. What number of cadets have been appointed within two years past,
their names, the dates of their appointments, and the States from which
they were respectively appointed; also, what number have resigned or
been dismissed during the same periods, the dates of their dismissals or
resignations, respectively; and the States from which they were originally
appointed, and the names of those who have graduated during the same
period, and how many of them have received appointment by brevet, or
otherwise, in the army 7
3d. What number of cadets are now at the academy, and their names,
from what States appointed, and the dates of their appointments?
4th. What number of eagets appointed within two years past were on
subsequent examination rejected, or have resigned for any cause; from
what States were such cadets appointed; and by what new appointments,
and from what States, were the vacancies thus created, filled?
5th. What changes, if any, have been made in the organization, rules
of conducting, or the system of instruction of the academy at West Point,
within two years past !
An early answer as shall be convenient is desired.
With sentiments of great consideration and respect,
I have the honor to be,

SIR: In obedience to your instructions, I herewith submit a statement of

years 1835 and 1836, specifying those who are graduates of the Military
Academy, with the date of graduating, or their first appointment in the

By the statement it will be seen that the number of resignations in 1835,

dred and fifty-eight: of which number two are colonels, one lieutenant
colonel, twenty-seven captains, one hundred and nineteen subalterns, two
paymasters, one surgeon, and six assistant surgeons.
Of the whole number of officers (one hundred and fifty-eight) who have
resigned, in 1836, thirty-two were appointed from civil ić, and the re-
mainder from the Military Academy.
Respectfully submitted.

SIR. In conformity with the intimation in my letter of the 7th instant, I
herewith transmit a report of the Chief Engineer, and the accompanying
documents, in answer to the fifth paragraph of your communication of the
28th ultimo. A copy of the reply made to the communication of the academic
board, transmitted by the superintendent, is also annexed, as illustrative of
the course of the department on the topics embraced in that communica-
tion. -
Very respectfully,

of the Military Academy, together with the communications there referred
to, and a copy of the regulations of the institution, furnishing the informa-
tion asked by question fifth of the Hon. F. O. J. Smith's letter of the 28th
ultimo, which was in part replied to on the 7th instant.

UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY,
West Point, January 5, 1837.
SIR: I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 30th ultimo,
asking for information necessary to enable the department to reply to ques-
tion No. 5, proposed by the committee for investigating the affairs of the
Military Academy. -
The question asks, first, for the changes, if any, that have taken place in
the organization of the institution within the last two years; second, for the
changes in the “rules of conducting,” by which it is inferred the com-
mittee allude to the internal regulations of the academy; and, lastly, for the
changes in the system of instruction within the same time.
To which I beg leave to reply, that no changes have been made in the
organization within the time referred to ; and that the only change in the
regulations, in addition to those specified in the lithographed order, dated
198 [ Rep. No. 303. I
“Adjutant's Office, United States Military Academy, West Point, New York,
May 1, 1836,” and appended to the copy of the regulations herewith trans-
mitted, to which I beg leave to refer you, are embraced in a regulation of
the Secretary of War, dated June 27, 1836.
It may be proper to state, in reference to this part of the inquiry, that a
most important and beneficial change has, within the last year, been intro-
duced in the practice under regulation No. 67. Formerly, it was customary
to retain at the academy cadets whose demerit on the records of delinquén-
cies exceeded two hundred, till the regular examinations in January asd
June ; whereas, at present, all such cases are at once brought before the
academic board, to the end that they may be laid without loss of time before
the Department of War. The reasons of this change are detailed in a
communication addressed to the Secretary of War, by the academic staff,
dated on or about the 21st October, 1836, the day on which it was enclosed
by me to your department. . .
The only change in the system of instruction has been the omission of
the branch of mineralogy, in consequence of the want of a professor.
I have the honor to be, sir, º
* With the highest respect,
Your obedient servant,
R. E. DE RUSSEY,
Lt. Col. Supt. Military Academy.
To Brig. Gen. CHAs. GRATIOT,
Chief Engineer of the United States.

JUNE 27, 1836.
The following regulations, in substitution of the 108th paragraph of the
Military Academy regulations, is published ſor the information of all con-
cerned: .
Any cadet who shall absent himself from his room at night, between
tat-to and reveille, for a longer time than half an hour on any one time, with-
out leave, and shall ſail to satisfy a court-martial that he did not so absent
himself for any immoral purpose; and that he did not, while so absent, go
to any house of entertainment, or any other place without the limits pre-
scribed to cadets, shall be dismissed the service, or otherwise punished at
he discretion of a garrison court-martial. -

K 5.
UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY,
Wast Point, New York, October 20, 1836.
SIR: It is with an unſeigned feeling of regret that the academic board
find themselves called upon to request your action on the cases of the ac-
companying names of cadets, who, for an habitual neglect of their duties, are
recommended for dismission from this institution. In submitting these
[ Rep. No. 303. ] 199
cases for your decision, the academic board deem it, at the same time, but a
proper discharge of their duty to invite your a tention to the regulation of
the academy under which the recoma ºndation is made, and to lay before
you their opinions on its bearing, maturey formed after several years' ob-
servation of its effects on the discipline of the corps of cadets.
Previously to the year 1831, a record of all violations of the academy
regulations by each cadet was regularly kept, as at present, on a delinquent
roll; but no general summary of delinquencies was made until the final
examination of the cadet, at which time the delinquent roll entered as one
of the elements for deter, mining the rank assig red him in his class, before
recommending him to the President for a commission in the army. The
operation of this system was found to be, that, as the consequences resulting
from the conduct of the cadet were not immediate, and, at the worst, af.
fected only the rank assigned him in his class, they were by the many
totally disregarded, and served but as a slight check on the few. This
system, therefore, after a ſair trial, was abandoned, as not fully satisfying the
end in view ; and in its place the 67th regulation was submitted by the
academic board to the Secretary of War, and received his sanction for the
future government of the academy.
This regulation, so far as it has been enforced, has produced very benefi-
cial effects on the discipline of the cadets, and, in the opinion of the academic
board, would, if strictly adhered to, ſully answer the purposes for which it
was established. Holding out to all the certainty of prompt punishment
for habitual bad conduct, and removing from the institution those who, if
suffered to remain, would, by their example, prove highly injurious to their
ſnore orderly comrades; it is not overrating its importance to saw that, with-
out its rigorous enforcement good order and discipline cannot be main-
tained. -
in connexion with this subject, the academic board would also invite your
attention, sir, to the 21th and 92d regulations. There is no point on which
opinion is more settled in this board than on the indispensable necessity of
a strict enforcement, also, of these regulations; for experience has fully satisfied
them that reinstatements of dismissed cadets have but in a very few cases
proved of benefit to the individuals themselves; whilst, on the mass, the exam-
ple of such exceptions to the regulations has produced effects the most un-
favorable. With the chances of escape from punishment, the temptations to
the commission of delinquencies necessarily increase; and it may be safely
affirmed that the leniency extended for the safety of one had, in the end,
caused the destruction of many, who, without such a hope of escape held
up before them, might have persevered in a correct course.
Whatever of benefit the country at large, and the army in particular, may
have derived from this institution, this board sincerely express the belief
may be traced to its discipline. Whatever tends to preserve this, must also
tend to multiply and perpetuate those benefits; and with its prostration the
institution must cease to produce those results that have thus far given it a
fair claim on the patronage of the people. The habits and opinions ac-
quired within the walls of the academy will be carried by its pupils into
other walks of life. If here insubordination is suffered to creep in, the con-
Sequences to the army are inevitable.
Having inſurely formed these opinions, after long and careful observa-
tion of the effects of these regulations on the well-being of the academy, the
200 [ Rep. No. 303. ]
academic board would respectfully, but earnestly, urge upon you, sir, the
necessity of their rigorous enforcement in all cases.
Most respectfully submitted.
& R. E. DE RUSSEY,
Lt. Col. Supt. Military Academy
and President of the Board.
C. BERARD, Secretary of the Board.
To the Hon. the SECRETARY OF WAR.
K 6.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
November 9, 1836.
SIR : I have had the honor to receive, through the Chief Engineer, the
communication addressed to this department, under date of the 20th ultimo,
by the academic board, transmitting the names of certain cadets, who, for
habitual neglect of their duties, were reported for dismission from the Mili-
tary Academy; and submitting certain observations in respect to the im-
portance of enforcing the regulation under which that report was made.
You will receive from the Chief Engineer, official motice that the recom-
mendation of the board, in regard to two of the cadets named in the report,
has been carricd into effect; and but for the resignations of the other two,
transmitted for acceptance in your communication to General Gratiot of
the 2d instant, they also would have been dismisscq.
The views expressed by the academic board in respect to the importance
of adhering to the regulations referred to in their remarks, mect my entire
concurrence. It is indeed idle to expect that the signal benefits hitherto
derived from the Military Academy can be long continued, unless the dis-
cipline established for the instruction and government of the cadets be
faithfully observed. The connexion of the undersigned with the institu-
tion will be short; but, whilst it shall endure, he wishes it to be fully un-
derstood by the cadets, that, so ſar as may depend on him, the regulations
will be enforced with strict impartiality and inflexible justice. This reso-
lution is founded not only in convictions of official duty, but on an earnest
desire to promote the usefulness and honor of the corps. That all con-
cerned may be duly notified of the course which will hereafter be pursued,
you will be pleased to promulgate, in orders, the contents of this paragraph,
or so much thereof as you may think proper.
- Wery respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
B. F. BUTI,ER,
Secretary of War ad interin.
Lt. Col. R. E. DE Russey,
Superintendent of the Military Academy,
West Point, New York.
