Every precaution is taken with regard to sanita- tion, and the Academy officers, who are all instructed along this line, are constantly vigilant as to the condition of the buildings nnd premises. Personal Medical Inspection Approved modern methods of prevention are employed by the school. Every cadet is required to be vaccinated for smallpox nnd typhoid fever, two of the most prevalent diseases in community life. It is interesting to note that since these requirements have been met there has lieen no case of either disease at the Academy. Also, each cadet upon entrance is required to undergo a thorough medical inspection by the school physicians and assistants. As seen by the accompanying illustrations, the inspection is thorough and complete. A de- tailed record of the findings is kept. There may bit other similar inspections during the year.

These occupy the center and west wings of the Adminis- tration Building; these wings are now known as Science Hal.

♦ WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY A Mattvr i ik Pktaii. In the Commandant ' s (irwt GENERAL REGULATIONS AS IT is the object of the Academy tip develop each cadet to hi highest stage of efficiency, all the regulations for the daily routine are formulated with this object in mind. During the recreation period from 4:10 to 5:50 P. M. cadets are engaged in athletics or other activities about the Academy and are not expected to go more than two blocks from the Academy grounds, except by permission. It is not deemed advisable for cadetB to be about town except on business or for reason- able recreation and yet it is not desired to take them entirely away from contact with civil institutions. Two days — Wednesday and Saturday — are therefore designated for freedom of limits during the recreation period, so that all may have opportunity for attending to necessary purchases in Lexing- ton. No permits to call or to attend the picture show are granted to new cadets except to Junior College students until after Christ- After Christmas new cadets may call or attend the show on permit on Saturday evenings, provided their conduct and atten- tion to duty has been satisfactory during the preceding week. During the fall term new cadets may attend the picture show in a squad on Saturday evenings. Requirements for Admission Wentworth Military Academy makes no special examination for admission. It merely requires that boys be in good physical con- dition, of good character and ready for high school work. A certificate from other schools as to doss standing is essential in classifying a new cadet. Special attention is given to the weak points in the boy ' s previous training and his deficiencies in any direction noted in order to be overcome. Cadets should enter as near the beginning of the session as possible, and it is in all cases understood that this is at least for the entire session, or for that part of the school year remaining at time of entrance, must be made accordingly. } ' agt Twentif $ix
