Admission.-By provision of law each Congressional and Territorial district, and the District of Columbia, is entitled to have one cadet at the Military Academy, and no more. The district appointments are made on the nomination of the member of Congress representing the district at the date of the appointment. The law requires that the individual selected shall be an actual resident of the Congressional district of the State or Territory, or District of Columbia, from which the appointment purports to be made. Also, appointments "at large,” not to exceed ten, are annually made. Application can be made, at any time, by the candidate himself, his parent, guardian, or any of his friends, and the name placed on the register. No preference is given to applications on account of priority; nor is any application entered in the register when the candidate is under or above the prescribed age. The precise age must be given; nor is any application considered in cases where the age and other qualifications of the candidates are not stated. The fixed abode of the candidate, and number of the Congressional district which he considers his permanent residence, must be set forth in the application. The pay of a cadet is $30 per month, to commence from his admission into the Military Academy, and is considered ample, with proper economy, for his support. The appointments are made annually in the month of February or March, on the applications made within the preceding year. The claims of all the candidates on the register are considered and acted upon. No certain information can be given as to the probable success of the candidate before the arrival of the period for making selections. Persons, therefore, making applications must not expect to receive information on this point. As a general rule, no person is appointed who has had a brother educated at the institution. Qualifications.— Candidates must be over sixteen and under twenty-one years of age at the time of entrance into the Military Academy; must be at least five feet in height, and free from any deformity, disease, or infirmity which would render them unfit for the military service, and from any disorder of an infectious or immoral character. They must be able to read and write well, and perform with facility and accuracy the various operations of the four ground rules of arithmetic, of reduction, of simple and compound proportion, and of vulgar and decimal fractions.

The United States Naval Academy, at Annapolis, is under the supervision of the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography, who personally inspects the institution at least once a year. A Superintendent, of rank not lower than that of a commander, has the immediate government and command of the institution, and is held responsible for its discipline and management. A commandant of midshipmen is also attached to the Academy, whose rank is not below that of a lieutenant. He is also the executive officer of the establishment, and also the instructor in practical seamanship, practical naval gunnery, and naval tactics. He has three assistants, each of whom occupies a rank not below that of a master, and the senior one is his principal assistant in the discharge of all his duties. There is attached to the Academy a surgeon, chaplain, master, secretary, clerk, and such warrant and petty officers, and other persons of inferior ratings, as are authorized by the Secretary of the Navy. Rules of Admission. — Application for admission to the Naval Academy, addressed to the Secretary of the Navy, can be made at any time, by the candidate himself, or by his parent, guardian, or any of his friends, and his name is at once placed on the list of applicants; but the registry of a name does not give any assurance of an appointment. No preference is given on account of priority of application. No application for an appointment as an acting midshipman is considered where the candidate is under or over the prescribed age, where the precise age and actual fixed residence are not stated, or where the applicant is not a resident of the Congressional district of the State from which he applies. The law limits the number of midshipmen, and requires that they shall be divided among the several States and Territories with reference and in proportion, as near as may be, to their number of representatives and delegates to Congress; that appointments shall be made from those States and Territories which have not their relative proportion on the navy list; that appointments from each State shall be apportioned, as nearly as practicable, equally among the several Congressional districts therein; and that the person so appointed shall be an actual resident of the Congressional district of the State from which appointed, and be recommended by the member of Congress representing the district in which he resides. The selection of candidates is made annually, and candidates who receive permission will present themselves to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy between the 20th and 30th of September, when they are examined by a board of medical officers, and by the Academic Board of the Academy as to their qualifications for admission. Candidates will not be received and examined at any other time. No candidate is admitted into the Naval Academy unless he is found, in the opinion of a medical board, to be composed of the surgeon of the Naval Academy and two other medical officers to be designated by the Secretary of the Navy, qualified to discharge the arduous duties of an officer of the navy, both at the time of his examination, and probably during the rest of his life, until age shall disable him, and shall have passed a satisfactory examination before the Academic Board. IX. GEORGETOWN COLLEGE, D. C. IN the year 1785, several gentlemen. the principal of whom was the Rev. John Carroll, afterwards the first Archbishop of Baltimore-formed a design of building "An Academy at Georgetown, Potowmac River, Maryland." In 1789 the first house was built; in 1792 the schools commenced, and in 1798 we find it "The College of Georgetown, Potomac River, State of Maryland." In May, 1815, Congress raised it to the rank of a University. In May, 1851, "The Medical Department of Georgetown College" was opened in Washington City, D. C. The College is situated on the northern bank of the Potomac, and comImands a full view of Georgetown, Washington, the Potomac, and a great part of the District of Columbia. Its situation is peculiarly healthy. The academic year commences on the first Monday of September, and ends about the middle of July. The collegiate course of studies occupies, generally, seven years, inclusive of the preparatory classes, which last three years, unless the proficiency of the student authorize an abbreviation of the term.
