♦ WENTWORTH MILITARY ACAD E MY LOCATION I EXJNGTON. the county seat of Eafayettfl I County, has a population of about 5,000. It is an attractive city of comfortable homes, modern business houses, public buildings, and broad streets. It has excellent systems of light, water, gas and sewerage. Its location, two hundred and ten feet above the Missouri river, is both beautiful and healthful. Not far from Wentworth Military Acad- emy is the site of the battle of Lexington, an important battle of the Civil War. l,exing- ton is an old historic city whose population includes many of the oldest and most cultured families of the sUte. The cadets live in an environment of refinement. Transportation Facilities Lexington is 13 miles from Kansas City. It in easily reached by rail on two branches of the Missouri Pacific and the main lines of the Santa Fe and Wnbash. The l exington Station of the Santa He and Wabash is at Henrietta where all trains are met by taxi- cabs. The city is on Federal Highway 21 and State Highway US and has frequent bus serv- ice to and from Kansas City. In The Heart of America Wentworth is fortunate in being near Kan sas City, the Heart of America, one of the largest cities of the West. Here there is an abundance of cultural and artistic talent. Ca- dets may attend the [K?rformaiices of re- nowned artists under faculty supervision. At Kansas City, also, the services of nation- ally known medical specialists are available, should occasion arise. Yet the school is far enough away to miss the less desirable fea- tures of a city and the cadets are not allowed furloughs to the city except in rase of emergency. Many Colleges in Missouri Missouri has a large numlier of colleges. In many ways this is n distinct advantage. The associati ons l etween the students of these schools in their various competitions, the associations between the faculties, and the frequent educational conferences among the institutions, all tend to keep the stand- ards at a high level. There is a decided stimu- lation to achievement in the healthy and friendly rivalry between the different schools. The Climate Lexington is located in central Missouri. The climate here is ideal for a school, since it is cool enough to be invigorating and to offer the winter sports, such as skating and sleighing, and at the same time it is mild enough not to subject the students to the rigors of a more northern locality. The cadets can be out of doors comfortably prac- tically all of the school year. Lexington Is Hioh Abovx the HrvTO. View or the City From tub Southwest Vag Twenty
