NI-:w MEXICO MILITARY INSTITUTE The New Mexico Military Institute ROSWELL, New MEXICO , . The New Mexico Military Institute was established by an Hlstoncal act of the legislative assembly of the Territory of New Mexico, passed in 1803, providing for a military school at Roswell. Chaves County. In 1895 Mr. J. J. Hagerman donated forty acres of gI'ound for a building site. and the legislative assembly of that year authorized a bond issue for the erection of suitable buildings and a tax levy for the maintenance of the school. In March. 1808, the buildings were completed, and the school was opened for students in September, 1898. The school proved a success from the very first. The original buildings were soon found to be inadequate to furnish dormitory room for all those wishing to enter. New lJlliltllll,Q'S were added from year to year, until, at present, the plant consists of eleven structures, well arranged aIId dotted over the forty-acre campus. Of these buildings, llagernian Barracks, Lea Hall, and the Mess Hall are handsome brick structures. A unit system and speelal style of architecture has been adopted by the regents. Hereafter all buildings are to conform to that general plan, both in regard to architectural design and to location. Both Hagerman Barracks and Lea Hall are handsome structures, built of buff pressed brick. and conforming to the Tudor-Gothic style of architecture, a style that is to be fol- lowed in all buildings hereafter erected on the campus. By an act of Congress. approved June 21. 1808. the New Mexico Military Institute was granted 50,000 acres of public land for the T' purpose of permanent improvements. From the sale and rental of a portion of the land, . as well as from the proceeds of bonds secured by these lands. the erection of buildings has been Ill2ld0 possible. The Enabling Act. which provided for the admission of New Mexico as il State. approved by Congress June 20, 1910. granted 100.000 acres of pIIblic land to the New Mexico Military Institute. This land will soon be located and either leased or sold: the income will be used for the erection of new buildings. It Page Nincicrn
