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.

div 'VX PPEH SEHUUL lIlJlVIlVIl-KNIJANTS The Commandant's office is the nerve center or heart of the Academy-designed to furnish counsel, guidance, discipline, and a mold for character structure. The objectives of this office are many-fold, the ultimate of which is the production of young, intelligent, forceful, Christian leaders capable of meeting and coping with the complex problems to be encountered in modern living. To achieve this ultimate objective, your commandant sub- scribes tothe following principles: a modified military system and exposure to the Christian way of life to assist in building character, firmly established habits of punctuality, order- liness, and neat appearance, establishment of a background for the orderly mind by instilling the principles of adequate evaluation of situa- tion and putting first things first, instilling of personal pride in the accomplishments of the individual and the organization of which the individual is an intricate part, the de- velopment af harmony and the ability to live and work as a team, particular stress on the importance of integrity and personal honor, the ability to accept recognition and rewards for personal accomplishments with proper humility and dignity, and the development of leadership based on the principle of earning the right to lead through your ability to be a good follower, your academic standing, and your moral character.
