On his arrival, Mr. Culver surrendered the adminis- tration of the academy to Col. Fleet's hands, and E E I ' fffffcfifwff L: A 7 D cg: V 1 -- ---- l A cc,-:cqcc c c LC I retired. Mr. Culver died the ensuing yea.r, leaving behind him the foundation and fra.me work of the . present magnificent a.cademy. ' V . For fourteen years, Col. Fleet remained' at the l , helm, year by year bringing the school into greater 1 , prosperity and renown. Plans for a 4'Crr'eater Cul- g ' ver were launched by the board of trustees in 1910, and t.he school, skillfully guided by Col. Gignilliat, assisted by Nlaj. Glascock and lviaj. Greiner, was soon universally admitted to be the foremost American mili- tary preparatory school. During the war period Col. COL FLEET Gignilliat has been in active service with the army ' and lvlaj. Glascock, former Head-Nlaster has temporarily filled his place. ' This, in brief is Culver's history. However great these achievements have 1 been, they are many times surpassed by the valor of Culver Men in the service of the country. The rea.l history of Culver ha.s been written in the records of herlsons who answered the nation's call. The reconstruction is close at hand. Real men-Culver Men-must be leaders in this work, as they have been leaders 1 I in the time of strife. I The glorious records 'of her sons in the Great War is but a reflection of- i Culver 's own spirit and training. , g . . 1 , HISTORY, YEAR BY YEAR 1 l To be able to more fully appreciate the school 's fabulous growth and progress, , ' the following outline of t.he aca.demy's history is helpful: .
