'V l I - 1 ' l THE MISSIU The mission of the United States Military Academy is to instruct and train the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate shall have the qualities and attributes essential to his progressive and continuing development throughout a career as an officer of the Regular Army. Inherent in this mission are the obiectives: MENTAL-To provide a broad collegiate education in the arts and sciences leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. MORAL-To develope in the cadet a high sense of duty and the attributes of charac- ter, with emphasis on integrity, discipline, and motivation essential to the profession of arms. PHYSICAL-To develope in the cadet those physical attributes essential to a career as an officer of the Regular Army. MILITARY-To provide a broad military education rather than individual proficiency in the technical duties of iunior officers. Such proficiency is, of necessity, a gradual develop- ment, the responsibility for which devolves upon the graduates themselves and upon the commands and schools to which they are assigned after being commissioned.
