Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Commission to Examine Into the Organization, System of Discipline, and Course of Instruction of the United States Military Academy at West Point
The law which fixes the authorized strength of the corps of cadets provides for one cadet from each Congressional district, and one from each Territory, one from the District of Columbia, and an additional number of cadets, not exceeding ten, to be appointed at large. There seems to have been no settled construction of the clause authorizing the additional number, but the most restricted interpretation has been to appoint ten annually at large, or without reference to any condition of residence on the part of the appointee. It is proposed to fix by law the number of appointments to be made at large, and so limit them to ten for each year.
