UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST POINT.

Each Congressional District and Territory—­also the District of Columbia—­ is entitled to have one cadet at the Academy.  There are also ten appointments at large, specially conferred by the President of the United States.  The number of students is thus limited to three hundred and seventy-one.

Appointments are usually made one year in advance of date of admission, by the Secretary of War, upon the nomination of the Representative.  These nominations may either be made after competitive examinations or given direct, at the option of the Representative.  Appointees to the Military Academy must be between seventeen and twenty-two years of age, free from any infirmity which may render them unfit for military service, and able to pass a careful examination in reading, writing, orthography, arithmetic, grammar, geography, and history of the United States.
