Citation: Montgomery, Charles Dudley. Military changes affected by acquiring the Phillipines. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1900. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: Possibly there is no other question now confronting our statesmen, that assumes such an unsolvable indetermined aspect, as that of "Expansion" and its effect on our military organization. The United States is unskilled in provincial rule. She has ever shunned aggressive warfare, while conquest is certainly beyond her well tried spheres of action. Her military force has ever been held to the minimum necessary for home defense. She now has adopted provincialism, without special preparation for the defense of the Province. She has planted the "Stars and Stripes" some ten thousand miles from home, without strengthening our defensive force for its protection. Where our flag goes, be the ethics what it may, our armies must go to protect. That our martial strength must be increased, is an obvious fact; but the manner of its increase and disposal of its newly organized forces are problems as yet unsolved. In treating this subject, the theories of the best tacticians, who have published articles within recent date, will be used as a back-ground. To these men the writer acknowledges his indebtedness. The reader is asked to accept only what seems logically deducted from the correlation of these theories, bearing in mind the fact that tacticians are at this date slow to publish their ideas or make conjectures on a subject that is effected by so many external forces as that of "Expansion" or extending territory.

Circular describing the general plan for the Virginia Literary, Scientific, & Military Academy at Portsmouth, Virginia in February 1845, signed by members of the board of trustees. Also includes information about lectures, uniform, and tuition. ; VIRGINIA LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC AND MILITARY ACADEMY. PORTSMOUTH, V A . FEBRUARY, 1845 The Trustees would respectfully inform the public that this Institution is in successful operation, under the superintendance of the former able and popular professors, Maj. S. WHEELER, and Mr. N. B. WEBSTER, assisted in the Junior Department by Mr. D. D. STORY, and Mons. PASCAL SCHISANO Professor of French. GENERAL PLAN. The analytical method of instruction, leading to a thorough investigation of the reasons for every rule learned, and every scientific operation, performed, is strictly adhered to. The student is thus enabled, not only to acquire a knowledge of facts, but also to understand the "why and wherefore;" without which their ready application to the practical business of life cannot be attained. That knowledge of Military science, which, while human nature remains as it. now is, is ever liable to be called into requisition, may be here acquired without the sacrifice of either time or money ; as the Military exercises do not interfere with the usual hours of study, but are attended to at times too often devoted by students to trifling amusement. For this, regular and ennobling exercise is substituted ; which the Trustees feel the most perfect assurance, based upon their own observation and experience, not only tends to expedite the advancement o-f the student, but in a very great degree to secure his health. Particular attention is given to the correct development of the moral and intellectual powers ; while all interference with the peculiar religious or political views of the student is carefully avoided. The discipline of the Institution is strict and uniform, in principle-military, in practice-parental. Energy and promptitude are required, in the discharge of every duty, and correct and gentle-manly deportment, at all times, and places. In fine it is the constant aim of the professors, to prepare those who may be committed to their charge, for the successful prosecution of business, either in a public or private, a civil or military capacity, and for the proper understanding and discharge of the duties incumbent on them, as individuals, as members of community, and as rational and accountable beings. Students are allowed to progress as rapidly as they may be able, consistent with the thorough understanding of the branches to which they at-tend. In addition to the usual Academic course of study, particular attention is paid to the practical sciences, especially the Mathematical. Instruction is also given in the principles of Law. which the Trustees consider an important part of the Education of American youth, inasmuch as every citizen of (Mir Republic, is both amenable to the laws, and either directly or indirectly has an agency in en-acting them. Major S. Wheeler, a graduate of the school of Law at the University of Virginia, and member of the Virginia Bar, instructs in this department. CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT.

This is a typed document titled "Training course for Army Work Secretaries and Physical Directors, June 16 to July 15, inclusive" . It was created to outline the intensive training for men who wished to work in the YMCA Training Camps during World War I available at Springfield College, then the International YMCA College. The document outlines the course work and who taught the courses. Courses included French, military practices, association history, ethics and religion. ; The training of war work secretaries and physical education directors were important contributions to the war effort by Springfield College. The YMCA provided canteen services at the invitation of the US government and raised more than 150 million dollars (equivalent to 2.7 billion dollars in 2014) in order to comply with the request. This kind of work was not new to the YMCA which provided similar services during the Spanish American War. ; This item was original bound in a book titled "War-Work Courses in Great War, 1917-1918 Incomplete." This volume was unbound and its contents foldered in the original order, which is chronological. The binding string was cut and the glue was removed with a razor blade. The edges are intact and the placement of stitches are visible. Each page or booklet was individually lifted out of the binding and placed in their own folder or a folder with like materials. Oversized materials were removed and placed in the oversized materials collection.

Nicholas Tillinghast (1804-1856), the first principal of Bridgewater Normal School, was a Boston schoolmaster at the time of his appointment to the post by Horace Mann. A native of Taunton, son of a prominent lawyer and postmaster there, Mr. Tillinghast had graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, had attained the rank of Captain in the Army, and had taught natural sciences and ethics at West Point before retiring to civil life. When the new school opened in the fall of 1840, twenty-eight students, seven young men and twenty-one girls, were admitted. For much of the first year and on several occasions later, the principal taught all of the courses and did all of the administrative work in a large classroom with plain pine desks and chairs and little or no apparatus. Discouraged by the irregularity of attendance by the pupils, the lack of assistance, and the total inadequacy of the facilities, the principal attempted to resign in 1845. The Board of Education fortunately refused to accept his resignation, changed the rules of the school to require students to attend the school for three consecutive terms of fourteen weeks each, made provisions for assistant teachers, and a few months later appropriated part of the cost of a new normal school building, the first state normal school building in America. Many prominent educators sought his advice, and his students went forth to become successful teachers, principals, normal school heads, and superintendents of schools. Worn out by overwork, he resigned in 1853 and died three years later at the age of fifty-one. Albert Gardner Boyden, who studied under him and worked under his direction for three years, wrote that Mr. Tillinghast was an educator who sought to give his students command of themselves and of the principles of education, so that they might be able to practice the art of teaching in the education of children. . . . The secret of his power lay in his personal character; he was himself what he sought to have his pupils be. He gave the whole energy of his soul to the great work which was given him to accomplish, and established the school upon a deep and broad foundation. He built the character of many an earnest and successful teacher. His spirit, his views, his method have become a part of our educational system. . . . Who can estimate the beneficent influence exerted by such a life, silent and powerful in its working as the sunlight, upon the educational interests of our country? ; https://vc.bridgew.edu/presidents/1000/thumbnail.jpg
