LOCATION jEXINUTUN is Ihe county seat of Lafayette county. It has a (K»j)ulati ' n nf nbniit r., )Ofl and is well «HiuiplK?«i willi fxcelleiit .siort ' buHdinKs, public edifices, handsome residenceH and broad streets. It has oxcelleiil »ystt m.« of electric light waterworks, gas and sewiMnj; ' . Some two hundred and ten feet above the river, the Vy- cation ia as beautiful and healthful as can be found. On one of the bluifs ol ' the river not far from where Wentworth Military Academy stands was fought the biittlr of Lexington, which was an important battle of llie late Civil War. Lexington is an old town and its poptllation inchides many of the oldest and most cultured families of the state. The cadets are therefore thrown with refined ptiPide ia ieir social life. Trantportstion Facilities The town is ju.sl forty-two miles from Kansas City. It is easily reached by two hrancht ' s of the Missouri Paoifir and the main line of the Santa Fe and the Waba-sh. of whicli tlic Ijexington station is Henrietta, where Lexingrton buses meet uU trains. Lex- ington is also on i- ' ederul highway 2-1 and two buh lines oiieratc over the hard Hurt ' aced road between Lexington and Kanaiis City. New KMisai Oty Wentworth is especially fortunate in its locAtion in that it is somewhat close to Kan- sas City, one of Ilu hirjfe.st cities in the Ve«t, where there is an abundance of the very best offerings in a cultural way tiiat are to be found anywhere in the middle west. F;ich year Kansas Ciiy draws many of the moat renowned artistii. whose work may be seen ' and he.ud by cadets who are interallied, under HUjiei vihion of I ' utulty members. The very finest of medical talent is also close at hand in Kansas City in any rare ca»es where it may be needed. Althougii these titingB are close enough for the cadets to make use of them, the fact that Lexington is forty-three miles from K.in.s«.s City in- sures a total absence t tin evils that art connected with the city life. It is, of enursOt to be understood that cadets are NOT al lowed iiirioufi:hs to Knsaa GStgr eaceept eases of,,em. rgeneies. Many Colleges in Miasoari Probably no other state in the West has as large a number of good schools of collepriate rank as Missouri, many of them l eing at no i| t distance f rbm Wciitworth.
