The sower was a man of excep- tional vision and action -a former student at Dartmouth College, a graduate and former Super- intendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, and a retired Captain of the United States Army. His name was Alden Partridge, founder of the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy. Through the changing for- tunes of war and peace, political fads and educa- tional theories, Norwich has maintained its original identity and perpetuates today the vision of Captain Alden Partridge. To Captain Partridge, the military aspect of the school was an essential and highly useful ap- pendagev to the civil education of his students, which would qualify', them for the correct and efficient discharge of their duties. . ffwhen th country may require their services. It is to the development of this military aspect of Norwich that we devote this section of the 1 C Q55 WAR WHOOP.

As the military concepts of the world changed, so did the training at Norwich change. In the I82O,S, the Academy offered, in addition to militia training, the best instruction available at that time for naval officers. This course in navigation and seamanship was so efficient that many lieu- tenants and midshipmen availed themselves of the instruction afforded. Captain Alden Partridge then moved his institution to Middletown, Con- necticut, in 182 5 to expand this naval element in Norwich training, but unfavorable action by the Connecticut State Legislature caused him to return his institution to Norwich in 1828. In 1866, the Cld South Barracks in which Captain Partridge had organized his first academy, burned to the
