C12 May, 1911.3 Obrgeinizaiinn A condensed outline of the organization of the Academy with regard to the military and academic features would seem appropriate. The immediate government and military command of the Post of YVest Point is vested in the Superintendent, directly under tlIe Secretary of Wiar CChief of Staffj. He is assisted by a personal and aca- demic staff. The personal staff consists of the Adjutant, Quartermaster and Surgeon, who are both Post and Academy staff otticers, and an oHicer who combines the functions of Treasurer, Quartermaster and Commissary for the Battalion of Cadets. . F The discipline and instruction of cadets are carried out under twelve depaI'tments, the heads of which comprise the academic stad of the Superintendent, and with him as President and the Adjutant as Secretary, form the Academic Board. Ten of the twelve departments are purely academic, the other two CTacticS and Practical Military Engineeringj have also duties in connection with practical military instruction of cadets. Seven of the departments CCivil and Military Engineering, Philosophy, Chemistry, Mathematics, lVIodern Languages, English and History and Drawingi have permanent professors at their heads. The heads of the other five departments are appointed for terms of four years. ' The head of each academic department is assisted by the necessary detailed instructors, the senior of whom is an assistant professor. . - The schedule of time allotted each department and its general policy is controlled by the Academic Board, each head of a department being responsible for the details of instruction in his respective department. The Com- mandant of Cadets, who is the Senior Instructor in Tactics and the head of that department, is also in immediate command of the Corps of Cadets, and consequently comes in closer touch with cadets than the head of any other department. His assistants are the tactical odicers and the instructors in physical training. The permanent professors who are members of the General Committee of the Academic Board, perpetuate the Exed academic policy of the Military Academy. Through the Academic Board, the .Superintendent controls and co-ordinates the several departments. . , ' 16
