Culver, cz Memorial ' ENRY HARRISON CULVER, founder of Culver Military IH Academy, died in 1897. Since then his purposes and ideals have been carried on by his Widow, Emily Jane Culver, until her death a few years ago, and by his children, as members of the Board of Trustees. Culver of today is the hnest evidence of the Whole-hearted and enthusiastic spirit with which they took up plans left them by the founder, and have turned his dreams into reality. By virtue of their office, Colonel Fleet, Superintendent 1896-191 1, and General Gignilliat, his successor, have been members of this Board, and have contributed their Wise and experienced counsel to its deliberations and plans. Scarcely a year has passed since the death of M1-. Culver Without some notable additions being rnade to the plant and equipment of the school which bears his name, and Which is maintained as a tribute to his memory. The result is a plant that is the wonder and astonishment of all who come to see it, and the Trustees promise that the end is not yet, for they still have many more plans which they hope to see Worked out at Culver Within the next few years. The money, the thought, and the hours of planning they have given to this labor of love make a debtor of every rnan Who has Worn the grey of the Culver Military Academy, or any of the varied uniforms that mark the schools of the summer months on Lake Maxinktickee. tml
