HISTORY The Academy bad its orif n in the desire u( Mk. Si kphbn G. Wkn i wok i h to erect a monument to the memory of hit deceaaed son. William Whntwokth. In the year 1880 a suitable building for a day school was pnrchaMd, and in September of the same year the doors were opened for stadeota. B. L. Hnii ;os, now of the McCormick Theoloijira! Si-ininarv. was chosen as Principal, and the present Superintendent was selected as his associate. In April, t88i. a charte r was secured, and the achoot was aotborised to cooSer aach def rees and marks of distinction as are uoalty gTaoted bf literary institutions. A board of seven trustees was appointed, consist mi; of members of the different Protestant churclx-s of Lt-xiiif tan. At the end of the first year MB- Hobsojc retired, to enter the ministry, and the present Suporintcndcnt, who has ever since been at the head of the school, was left in diai e, Dorini the aeeood year the military featture was added, making this the pioneer of military 5rh ' M.! in the West. It was sooo dccmol n !vi-t. ble to make the school a boardiog school, and the liberality of the founder at once provided a suitable boildiog. This bailding aooo fnoved inadeqoate for the increaainK patronage, and M . Wentworth donated the present Kronnds and botldings, then ttanding. Through the fostering care of th - fiMitwh-r .iiuJ the liberality f the citizens of Lexinffton and Lafayette county, improvements have been made as the needs oi the school have demanded. The school has steadily grown in public favor,  a its students have Rone forth into pnblic life or to disHn- guisb themselves in oniversitics fur which it prcp.iriMl ttii III. Several universities in the East and in tlw West have recqpiised the merit of its work by offering fkbk scHOLARSiura to its graduates, and to receive them without further examination The present management has ti lesne of thirty years on thr ' ;rlitH l. ami, Iciviiii, ' condut ed it through the sttii|4t. ' U ' 5 of 1 ytMtbt WMpQMllQ 4 thai the same succc: t will attend it in the future as in the p.ist. The career of our school, showing it steadily increasing patroiMge, Jto StfvaittlMnti r bold on popular favor, its broaileniii;; c iirriculam, both acadttRtie and military, bespeaks the merit and serious npss of its work. l- ' stalilislu-ii not a? n fiiinnriril onterprisr, bnt as a jjrattiitoiis mnniimcnt from the educational impulses ol ii worthy fijuiidur, it livos tud iy the t.KADiNG military school in tliu West, having braved difficulties which our competitors., on different bases, have been unable to surmouot. Recognizinf; the virtue of thf- woik :)t Wentwottli Milir,,r A xkrny. the morlt o( Us persever- auce, its K :uuineness as au educator uf youno men, the (.mniuunwcalth of the State of Missouri has piined tor the institution national notice, resulting in the detail of a U. 5.

To insure tbe best mental training, none but men r ( ]it i ' i ;tl and thorough education and of siircc :sful enpcrirnce in tttaehtng are employed. Liberal expciuiitnres have been niade in securing the best mechanical iidit for instrtiction. such as chemical and physical apparatus, mapi, charts, mathematical instru- Itoent ' . rtr Tlint correct moral und reliRious inatniction may l i- i ' . tht- tcat hi-rs .in- rciiuinv! l be Chrisliun men, members in good standing of some Evangelical church.

They are shielded from evil influences and taoKht h.dtits of i;entility. neatness and paoctnality. The carcic-; ' are required and tniight bow to study, and the ambitious are encouraged to greater endeavor. The school is. as it were, one laiis fenSy, in which each teacher occupies the place of a parent or an elder brother to the boys. LOCATION. Lexington, Missouri, is a town of five thousand inhabitants, about forty mites frurn Kansas City, :xnd i ? accfftsiMc by the Missmiri Pacilic the Wabash, and the Santa Te railrtnut ' ; While it has water works. fia i. electric liRlit-;. and iitutiy other modern conveniences, ii is not an active business place, but is really an eddy amul hooniinK Western towns, where students may pursue ihcir studies in onintcrrupted quiet. Situated un the southern bluffs of the Missouri river, it is unsurpassed in health- fulness by any point in the State. L exington is well known in the West as an educational center, having in nddilicn t Wc ntwi.rth Military Acadoniy. three Ims o and flourishing colleges f r young ladies, and an excellent liusini.fw college. The t- iiicatiotial aihanlages have attracted and retained a refined and cultivated class of people; and. bfinw ( nt i4 (he oldest and mo«t settleil towns in the State, all things conspire to direct the minds of the students, who assemble here from alt parts of the West, to habits of study. This congregation of schools gives to each many advandages which no one, or even two srhooK alone, would possess. They unite in Herurin;; LcctOfe Qmnes and eciai tcadwn of Muiiic, Elocution, Art. etc , and thereby obtain the best lulenl. In Lexington was fought one of the important littles of the late Civil War, and the Acadijlp iy Stands qnite near the scene of conflict. This (act renders the pLce exceedtq y appmpriate lor a military school. Thfn courses nf stiuly, tlw CbssicaJ. the KIcciivc:, and iho Business, are offered below, one of ' which raatt be teken by tlvae whn evpiict to graila.itti. A select course, diRerin from the above, accordiag to the wishet of parents, ami not embradnx branches cmfitetiag with aadi Otitar, may be pursued, aiiil rrrtiftr.iles will he .(w;iriU ' l in the liriiii ' -lu-s I ' onipii ' ted.
