The Academy is rich in traditions of which any school might well be proud. Its history and that of Mexico are closely interwoven. Ill 1889, the progressive citizens, led by the late Governor Charles B. Hardin, banded together their re- sources and energies to erect the school. It grew rapidly from the very start and soon served students from many parts of the country. Today, with its colorful and glorious background of more than half a century of service to the best of Amer- ica's young men, the Missouri Military Academy stands among the finest of the Il2lli0ll,S military schools.
