belief that a high per cent of our boys every year admire the qualities of the Christian gentleman and that many seek to cultivate these qualities in themselves. 3. BIG ENOUGH TO AFFOIIIJ A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM- A Small School, SMALL ENOUGH 'ro PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION 11111655 heavlly e n d o W e d o r operated at a very high tuition rate, cannot afford to provide either a cur- riculum embracing the essential branches or a recreational program that will provide a desirable variety to cover the interests of all boys enrolled. There- fore, a school that prefers to make up its enrollment from good middle-class business and professional income brackets should be a medium-sized school of about 550 boys. In such a school, class sections can be organized rang- ing from ten to fifteen boys to the class, enabling each teacher daily to learn and care for the needs of each boy. It makes it possible for the admin- istrative officers as well as teachers to know every boy in school. This re- stores the values that have largely been lost in recent years as schools have grown to such large numbers. Believing that these are important factors in determining the quality of service we think a private preparatory school should undertake to render, Tennessee Military Institute has set 350 boys as the at- tendance limit it will not exceed. The number of day students from Sweet- water and adjacent towns is limited to fifty and the number of boarding students to 300. 4. ADEQUA-I-E' COMFORTABLE' Satisfactory schoolwork is by no means con- AND SANITARY BUILDINGS tingent on superfine buildings and showy sur- roundings. In selecting a school we certainly would not rate the quality of the buildings as a first consideration. On the other hand, it should be recognized that clean, comfortable living and work- ing quarters do contribute to the happiness and contentment of students and thereby increase the probability of satisfactory scholastic progress. That is what we provide at Tennessee Military Institute - buildings that are clean and com- fortable. We invite visits of inspection. 5. PERMANENCE It is a sad experience for a person to attend a school which closes its doors and passes out of existence during the lifetime of its graduates. Recent years have furnished several such instances. In select- Page Eight

ing a school, some thought should be given to stability and permanence. While no school would be justified in claiming its own immortality, Tennessee Mili- tary Institute has much that promises continuance for a long period. Founded in the hard days shortly after the War between the States, it has successfully weathered several seasons of financial stress and strain. Since its founding, it has had three groups of long-term administrators. The first of these continued for twenty-six years, the next for thirteen years, and the present group has been in charge since 1919. This makes for steadiness of policy and general stability. Despite its ninety years of age, the school has all the characteristics of a steadily increasing vigor. It was moved to a new campus sixty years ago and that campus is just now reaching a peak of beauty and attractiveness which classes it with the most beautiful school premises in America. 6. ENVIRONMENT' LOCATION' Beautiful surroundings help to cultivate a love ACCESSIBILITY of the beautiful-an important element in the education of a cultured gentleman. In this re- spect, Tennessee Military Institute is most fortunate. Not only is our own campus very beautiful, but the views from the campus are beautiful in all di- rections. The Great Smoky Mountains are visible most of the time in one direction, the Chilhowee Mountains in another, and the Cumberlands in an- other. Several times each winter, with no sign of snow at Sweetwater, the Smokies are snow-capped. The population of the town is composed of home-owning, home-loving, churchgoing people. It has been a school town for ninety years. The best families, typical of the old Southern culture, frequently ask permission to have groups of our boys to dinner in their homes. All in all, it is a good home town for a school. Sweetwater is unsurpassed in point of accessibility both by automobile and by train. The most frequented motor highway from New York to New Orleans constitutes the front border of our campus for four-tenths of a mile. The most-used motor route from the Great Lakes cities to Florida doubles on this same highway for forty miles on each side of Sweetwater. Without question, more automobile travelers see T. M. I. annually than see any other military school in the United States. Patrons in their travels are constantly Page Ten
