ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF CADETS.

All cadets are examined physically in May of each year, and those found physically disqualified to continue with the course or, in case of the first class, for commission in the Army, are discharged.

VACATIONS AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE.

Academic duties are suspended from the completion of the June examinations until the end of August. During this period cadets are engaged in military duties and exercises and in receiving practical instruction in military and other subjects. Academic duties are also suspended from December 24 until January 2, except for those undergoing examination. All duties and exercises, as far as practicable, are suspended on New Year's Day, February 22, May 30, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Cadets of the first, second, and third classes not undergoing examination are allowed leaves at Christmas. Excepting such leaves cadets under ordinary circumstances are allowed but one leave of absence during the four-year course. This leave is granted to those cadets who have successfully completed the third class course of study and extends from the middle of June to the 28th of August.

PAY OF CADETS.

The pay of a cadet is $780 per year and one ration per day, or commutation thereof at $1.08 per day, to commence with his admission to the academy. The total is $1,174.20. The actual and necessary traveling expenses of candidates from their homes to the Military Academy are credited to their accounts after their admission as cadets.

A cadet's initial deposit, together with his salary, is sufficient, with due care and economy, to meet his actual needs at the academy. It is not sufficient, however, to meet, in addition, the expenses of leaves of absence, especially if these involve considerable travel.

Obtaining money from outside sources, though not prohibited, is regarded with disfavor, unless it be for the purpose of liquidating indebtedness at the cadet store or of defraying the expenses of a leave of absence.

Candidates should bring with them the following-named articles, minimum number indicated: Hairbrush, nail brush, toothbrush, comb, 8 drawers (summer), 12 handkerchiefs (white), 4 nightshirts or pajamas, 8 socks (black cotton), 6 bath towels, 6 face towels, 1 trunk locker or steamer trunk, 8 undershirts (summer), whisk broom, razor and shaving materials, winter underwear (optional), and 1 pair of high black shoes in good condition, properly fitted, and of comfortable size.

Cadets are required to wear the prescribed uniform. All articles of their uniform are of a designated pattern, and are sold to cadets at West Point at regulated prices.

DEPOSIT PRIOR TO ADMISSION.

Immediately after admission candidates must be provided with an outfit of uniform, etc., the cost of which is about $250. This sum, or an amount which, in addition to the traveling expenses mentioned above, will equal $250, should be deposited with the treasurer of the academy before the candidate is admitted. It is best for the candidate to take with him no more money than he needs for traveling expenses and for his parents to send the required deposit by draft, payable to the treasurer, United States Military Academy. The deposit is credited at once to the cadet's account. Upon graduation a cadet who has exercised proper economy will have sufficient money to his credit with the treasurer of the academy to purchase his uniform and equipment as an officer.

PROMOTION AFTER GRADUATION.

The attention of applicants and candidates is called to the following provisions of an act of Congress approved May 17, 1886, to regulate the promotion of graduates of the United States Military Academy:

"That when any cadet of the United States Military Academy has gone through all its classes and received a regular diploma from the academic staff, he may be promoted and commissioned as a second lieutenant in any arm or corps of the Army in which there may be a vacancy and the duties of which he may have been judged competent to perform; and in case there shall not at the time be a vacancy in such arm or corps he may, at the discretion of the President, be promoted and commissioned in it as an additional second lieutenant, with the usual pay and allowances of a second lieutenant, until a vacancy shall happen."
