Rear Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, father of the atomic submarine, recently expressed the significant idea that no society can function without its indispens- able men, True, there is no such person QS the indispensable man, but we should not proceed to the incorrect conclusion that neither does a democracy have iv- dispeusable men, In other words, the nation needs the superior student and it is up to the school to train him. The private military school is especially equipped to train the leaders of tomorrow by imposing the most de- manding and challenging curriculum, and insisting on those formative disciplines which alone can promise proficiency in doing and thinking. A5 Dr, Brown used to say, our goal is to train eagles, not dodo birds! This Academy is dedicated to this high purpose, and we of the facul- ty trust that our graduates this year and in the years to come will have been trained, at least in some small measure, to take their places in the select ranks of our iizdixperzsable men, F . gzvbffaj Nav HEADM STEH Mrs, A.

EHAPLAIN Christianity is not character, but Christ. This statement was made by Woodrow Wilson when he was President of Princeton Univer- sity. It expresses the simplest fact and the profoundest philosophy of the Gospel. Here, at the Brown Military Academy, we endeavor to instill within the life of each cadet a strong fiber of character. While we believe this to be important, we do not believe it to be enough. For above and beyond char- acter every individual has a need of a person -Christ. This is where our philosophy of education differs and extends beyond the average school. Because Christianity is not a religion, but a person and a life, we believe that it must be the foundation of our education. l X x li l 2 l i un K.: f ' C I ,Al 'Hi T I ' 1 ll HJ LUWEH SEHUUL PHI EIPAL The Lower School opened this year with a record enrollment, and has steadily continued to grow, We have been forced to add a second section to the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. If it had not been for the addition of three excel- lent new class rooms, we would have had to turn away many fine boys. We have also reached the point where there is not a single vacant bed in the two Lower School barracks. But more gratifying than any increase in num- bers has been the increase in quality, Better boys and better scholars give the highest hopes for many more successful years ahead, eww
