QD U'a 4 HHMINISIHHIIUN., as Of paramount importance to you in the selection of the right school for your boy is the kind of men with whom he will be associated while away from home--the men who will plan the pro- grams under which he will live, play, and learn, and the men who will supervise his every activity-the officers of administration and the men who comprise the school's faculty. Every administrative officer and faculty member at the Missouri Military Academy is unusually well qualified for his particular position through years of training and practical experience. Each is scholarly, a good teacher, and a man of strong moral character. Each is a highly successful specialist in boy life and training. Yet each is young enough to get close to boys and to understand their innermost problems. And all are willing and able to give every boy sympa- thetic and intelligent direction at all times and in all matters. These faculty officers live close to the boys at M. M. A. and impart influences of unquestionably great and lasting value. l. Q. 1 2 Vlfqlls.-an NWWP! fi, C CLel't, seatedl Major Chester M.

The magnificent campus of the Missouri Military Academy is acclaimed by many the most beautiful in the state of Missouri, and one of the most attractive school sites in America. It presents a luxuriant landscape in all directions from the top of a gently sloping elevation. Spacious, well-kept, blue grass lawns combine with numerous varieties of trees and decorative shrubbery to make a truly inviting environment that subtly but surely influences all who dwell within it. The main campus consists of 22 acres upon which are located eight modern buildings, large athletic fields, parade grounds, tennis courts, etc. Adjacent to the formal campus is a tract of 200 acres of woodland, connecting Mismilaca, the Academy's private lake, with the grounds of the Missouri Military Academy proper. Also close to the main campus is an attractive eighteen- hole golf course which is available to students. The Academy is situated on the outskirts of the delightful little city of Mexico, Missouri, where it enjoys all the advantages of the country with all the conveniences of the city. Mexico has recently been selected as an 'GAII-American City by the National Municipal League because of its fine civic consciousness and high ideals. It is also nationally known as the saddle horse and fire clay center of the world. It is easily acces- sible by railroad, automobile, airplane, and bus from all directions and is on the main line of the Wabasli railroad-100 miles from St. Louis and 160 miles from Kansas City. It is also the center of a network of hard-surface'highways, and all transcontinental air lines land passengers at nearby cities. Mexico is a residential city of approximately 12,000 inhabitants and is noted for its climate, its beautiful homes, progressive business establishments, and its fine old Southern hospitality. Students at the Academy enjoy many pleasant and helpful contacts with its citizens. Mexico, thc home of M. M. A., is easily reached from all directions by plane, train, automobile, and bus.
