The military post of West Point and the Military Academy are both under command of the Superintendent, directly under the War Department. I-Ie is assisted by a personal staff consisting of an Adjutant, Quartermaster and Surgeon, who are both post and academy staff officers, and an oiiicer who combines the functions of Treasurer, Quartermaster and Commissary of the Battalion of Cadets. The discipline and instruction of Cadets are carried out under twelve departments, the heads of which constitute the academic staff of the Superintendent, and with him as chairman and the Adjutant as Secretary, form the Academic Board. Of the twelve departments, ten are purely academic. The other two KP. M. E. and Tacticsj have also duties connected with the military instruction of Cadets. Seven departments fEngineering, Philosophy, Chemistry, Mathematics, Modern Languages, English and History and Drawing, have permanent professors at their heads. The heads of the remaining five departments are appointed for terms of four years. The head of each academic department is assisted by the necessary instructors, the senior of which is assistant professor. Distribution of time and the general policy of each department is de- termined by the Academic Board. The details of instruction are controlled by the heads of depart- ments. The Commandant of Cadets, who is the direct head of the Department of Tactics, is in immediate command of the Corps of Cadets, and in much more i-ntimate contact with Cadets than other departments. His assistants are the tactical olhcers. The permanent professors form the continuous thread in the administration and policy of the Military Academy. Through the Academic Board the Superintendent controls and co-ordinates the various departments. . 10
