Office at 9 O’ clock <br /><br />Executive Office Columbia <br />Monday Dec 4th 1848 <br /><br />The Board met this day – <br /><br />Present <br /><br />James Jones, Chairman <br />D. F. Jamison <br />Jn. H. Means <br />W. J. Hanna <br />J. W. Cantey <br /><br />The following communication was taken up – read - & unanimously approved of by the Board - ordered to be copied - & transmitted to His Excellency Governor Johnson. Viz. <br /><br />[Page 9] <br />Columbia Dec 4 1848 <br /><br />To His Excellency <br />Governor Johnson, <br /><br />Sir <br />In consequence of your absence from indisposition, at the examinations which have just taken place of the Cadets of the Military Academies, the other members of the Board of Visitors have thought proper to present to you, a more detailed report of the management & present condition of those institutions. <br /><br />The examinations at the Citadel and Arsenal Academies were satisfactory in the highest degree; and afford the most conclusive evidence to the Board, that every reasonable expectation of the success of those institutions, has been fully realized. The extraordinary zeal of the professors, and the diligence of the pupils have enabled the latter to carry on, and some of them, to perfect a practical course of studies, eminently qualifying them for the business and the duties of life. <br /><br />During the past year, 86 pupils were under the instruction of the officers of the Citadel Academy; and 32 at the Arsenal Academy; making in all, at the commencement of the academic year 118, in both institutions – of whom 27 for various causes, have been removed; and 9 finished their course; leaving 82, still remaining at the recent examinations. <br /><br />The Board are compelled to call the attention of Your Excellency, to the present condition of the Citadel building in Charleston. The entire roof is defective, & has been for some years in a leaky condition. <br /><br />[Page 10] <br />Temporary repairs have been made, from time to time, by applying small portions of the pay-pupil fund to that object. But, from the number of applicants admitted last year, the fund, out of which temporary repairs were made, is exhausted – and no more appropriation can be made for that purpose. Indeed the whole roof is in want of repair; and a much larger sum than will ever at one time be at the disposal of the Board, will be required. Every rain exposes new leaks – the quarters of both officers & cadets are rendered uncomfortable – and even dangerous by the occasional falling of large masses of the overhead plastering. To say nothing of the comfort & safety of the inmates, a sufficient appropriation is now urgently required to prevent a valuable state property from dilapidation. The Board have hitherto refused to make any application for aid from the Legislature; trusting that they might with such means as they had at hand, make the necessary repairs; but they believe that some appropriation is now absolutely necessary. It may be, that from too much caution on this subject, they have waited too long. <br /><br />While repairing the old roof, or constructing a new one (as the plan itself of the old roof is defective) the Board would suggest to Your Excellency, the propriety of adding a new story to the building. Before the end of the month of January 1848, there were 81 Cadets in the Citadel, who were quartered in 19 small rooms; making an average of more than 4 to each room; a number, as must be readily perceived, far too large for comfort, and for the prosecution of laborious accurate and profound studies. The want of room is a barrier to the admission of the largest number <br /><br />[Page 11] <br />that the institution could otherwise support; and the applications of many have been rejected, and must be refused the coming year, for want of accommodation. <br /><br />Not only are the quarters for the Cadets insufficient, but the officers that live in the Citadel are barely accommodated and some of them, from want of quarters, are compelled to occupy houses in the town. <br /><br />It may be remarked, that an additional story would make the Citadel more secure as a military post; as there are certain houses in the immediate vicinity, that are higher than the Citadel; and in the possession of an enemy, might be used to command it. <br /><br />To repair the present roof with tin (from estimates made by an architect, to whom the matter was committed & which will accompany this communication) would cost $2200. The objection to this material is, that it is very destructible, and will last but a few years. Copper tinned is regarded as much the best material for roofs: but it is expensive & would cost $6700. <br /><br />A cover of slate is recommended by the architect, as more suitable than either if the materials above mentioned – but that would require a new roof – the cost of the new roof covered with slate would be $3700. To put an additional story to the building together with the roof, as is estimated by the same architect, would cost $15000. <br /><br />The additional story for the reasons given is suggested to the consideration of Your Excellency as a matter of expediency: but the Board would urge upon you the recommendation for a roof to the building, not only to preserve from dilapidation a valuable state property, but to maintain a still more valuable state institution. <br /><br />Yours <br />(signed) Jas. Jones <br />Chairman B of V <br /><br />[Page 12] The following statement accompanied the foregoing communication viz <br /><br />“Statistics taken from the Books of the Military Academies 1848 (since the commencement thereof)<br /><br />[See chart on Page 80]<br /><br />The Board adjourned at 2 O' clock PM sine dine.

F. Jamison <br />Daniel Wallace <br />W. J. Hanna <br />John H. Means <br />J. W. Cantey <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the following report on the case of Cadet L. J. Brown: & of the sixteen (suspended) Cadets be adopted: & that the same be printed: viz <br /><br />“In the matter of the suspension of Cadet L. J. Brown on 21st September, and of the sixteen other Cadets on the 6th Oct. the following are the material facts verified upon oath before the Board of Visitors. <br /><br />On the evening of the 21st September, after dark, some disorder occurred among the Cadets in the campus, near the Arsenal. <br /><br />With the view to suppress this disorder, the Superintendent went out, and ordered them to their quarters. While returning to their quarters, & very soon after this order was given, some of the Cadets hissed, or whistled. <br /><br />Deeming this conduct disrespectful, the Superintendent went immediately to the barracks, and in (rather) an irritated tone and manner, demanded the names of the authors of this act of insubordination. Cadet L. J. Brown (among others), then came to the door of his room, and spoke to the Superintendent, in a manner which he deemed disorderly and mutinous. He was ordered to be silent, and declared that he would not be silent. <br /><br />[Page 6] <br /><br />He was then told by the Superintendent that he must leave the institution next morning, and accordingly on the morning of the 22nd Sep. the following order was published. <br /><br />Arsenal Academy Sep. 22 1845 <br />Order No 52 <br /><br />Cadet L. J. Brown is hereby suspended from all rank in the Arsenal Academy, for positive disobedience of orders, and insubordinate conduct on the evening of the 21st Sep. <br /><br />He will therefore cease to be a member of the institution, from the publication of this order (unless restored by the Board of Visitors) and will repair to his home. <br /><br />(Signed) A Herbert <br />Superintendent <br /><br />On the morning this order was published, Cadet Brown, having been furnished by order of the Superintendent, with money to repay his traveling expenses, left for his home. <br /><br />Before Cadet Brown left the Arsenal, a paper was drawn up & signed by sixteen other of the Cadets of the institution, addressed to Major J. G. Brown, the father of Cadet Brown, in which they state (among other things) that Cadet Brown had done no act inconsistent with the character of a gentleman and a soldier. <br /><br />Upon receipt of this document by Major Brown, he transmitted it to Genl. Jas. Jones, the Chairman of the Board of Visitors, who immediately transmitted it, without any comments, to Capt. Herbert, the Superintendent. <br /><br />[Page 7] <br /><br />The execution & transmission of this document by the sixteen Cadets, in the manner and form stated, was deemed by Capt Herbert, a violation of the 8th Article of War, and the 45th Article of the Rules & Regulations of the Arsenal & Citadel Academies and on the 6th Oct an order was issued and published, suspending the sixteen Cadets, who signed the paper from all rank in the institution & directing them to repair to their homes. <br /><br />Upon these facts this Board is to decide, whether or not, Capt Herbert exceeded the limits of his power and duty, in the suspension of Cadet Brown, on the 22nd Sep.: and the suspension of the sixteen Cadets on the 6th October, in the manner, & for the reasons above stated. <br /><br />It should be borne in mind that the Arsenal Academy is an institution in its government purely military, and that the Cadets are as soldiers upon duty, in garrison or camp: and as such rules and regulations have been named for the police and government of the post, according to long established military usage. <br /><br />The profession of arms, involving the conduct and government of armies in the field, is the most chaste, and the most inflexible in its discipline of all. The Military Code, is in fact the Law of Honor, and of Duty, so closely and intimately blended, that no violation of its principles, how small so ever, can be permitted either with safety or honor: and there is no principle indicated by this Code, that is more imperious, or more necessary, than <span style="text-decoration:underline;">obedience – prompt, immediate, and respectful obedience, to every command emanating from the proper authority</span>. <br /><br />[Page 8] <br /><br />This is not only the first duty of the soldier, but is perhaps the most important element of martial law, and without which the whole object and design of military institutions would be defeated. <br /><br />When the conduct of Cadet Brown is viewed in connection with this rule, there can be no difficulty in arriving at the proper conclusion upon the merits of this case. His plea of defense and justification in this, that the manner and tone of Capt Herbert was too severe – even that his language was insulting cannot be permitted to avail him to the prejudice of order and subordination – for his appeal should have been made, if good cause existed, to other authorities than himself. <br /><br />The legitimate and proper authority of the Superintendent, had been treated with contempt by some of the Cadets, but who they were, without the enquiry being made, Captain Herbert could not know. They, and not Captain Herbert, made the issue, of anarchy and mutiny on the one hand, or of law and order on the other: and the Superintendent did well, not to postpone for one moment the trial of this issue. <br /><br />It may be that his manner and tone were less cool, than could have been desired, and that there was in fact some degree of harshness used: but that he could have been more cool under the circumstances, is hardly to be expected of human nature, unless as exceptions to a general rule. The positive disobedience of orders by Cadet Brown, left the Superintendent no alternative; and his suspension was not only proper, but a most necessary and indispensable act of duty, on the part of the Superintendent. <br /><br />[Page 9] <br /><br />The suspension of the sixteen Cadets on the 6th of October, the Board is equally [illegible] satisfied was necessary and proper. The combination into which they entered in writing, signing, and transmitting to Major Brown, the document referred to, was a manifest violation of the 8th Article of War, and of the 45th Rule of the Regulations of the institution of which they were members. <br /><br />Believing however that they were not aware of the grave nature of the offense they committed, and that they were prompted, less by the spirit of insubordination, than by a commendable sympathy for their comrade, the Board could see no reason, why they should not be restored to their rank in the Academy; & with the hope that the past may throw some additional light upon the path of duty before them, it is so ordered.” <br /><br />(Signed) James Jones, Chairman B.V. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That Cadets J. Cantey & Luther Williams be examined: & if not found deficient, that they receive diplomas. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the Superintendent of the Citadel Academy at Charleston, furnish to each member of the Board of Visitors, one copy of every book used as a text book in the institution. <br /><br />[Page 10] <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That <br /><br />1 Edward J. Means <br />2 Robert H. Means <br />3 Henry Cantey <br />4 L. J. Murray <br />5 [Illegible] W. Tyler <br />6 F. M. Dwight <br />7 Rufus Cleckley <br />8 Ed. Mackay <br />9 Wilson Prothro<br /><br />be admitted into the Citadel Academy in Charleston, as probationary pay pupils: & that they be directed to report themselves to the Superintendent thereof on 1st January next. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the Rule prescribing the minimum age, at which pupils shall be admitted into the State Military Academies, shall be relaxed in favor of Edward J. Means and Henry Cantey. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the applications of W. L. Myers of Georgia, & [illegible] Montgomery of Georgia, be rejected. <br /><br />[Page 11] <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the following persons be admitted as beneficiary probationary pupils into the Citadel Academy: & that they be directed to report themselves to the Superintendent thereof on 1st January next viz <br /><br />1 Daniel Owens – Charleston <br />2 David Owens – Charleston <br />3 Isaac Skippler – Charleston <br />4 J.

F. Jameson <br />Daniel Wallace <br />W. J. Hanna <br />J. H. Means <br />J. W. Cantey <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the expenses paid by the Chairman of the Board of Visitors, on account of postage, shall be refunded to him: and such as he may hereafter incur - & shall be paid out of the fund appropriated to the support of the military school. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That Professor Capers has leave of absence from the Citadel Academy, until the 28th December instant. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the following Report be adopted, and handed in to His Excellency the Governor viz. <br /><br />“To His Excellency Governor Aiken <br /><br />The Board of Visitors of the State Military Academies, Respectfully report, <br /><br />That the Citadel Academy, in the City of Charleston, is in a flourishing condition, increasing in efficiency and usefulness, and extending its popularity, as its merits become known. <br /><br />[Page 14] <br /><br />At the commencement of the present academic year, there were at that institution, fifty six pupils. During the year, the resignations, discharges, dismissals, & suspensions, have been twenty seven: leaving at the institution twenty nine, who were presented to the Board for examination on the third Monday of November. That examination has demonstrated to the Board the practicability of their plan of education, combining a course of thorough instruction in the physical sciences, modern language, history & belles letters, with a practical military education; and at the same time the efficient discharge of the arduous and responsible duties of an arsenal guard. <br /><br />In the various subjects, upon which the classes were presented for an examination, (conducted with the most rigid scrutiny) the Cadets have exhibited a proficiency, in the opinion of the Board, seldom equaled, and rarely, if ever excelled, in any institution whatever. The officers have discharged their laborious duties with more than ordinary zeal and ability; and the character & position maintained by the institution under their charge, is at once honorable to them, and creditable to the State. <br /><br />The Arsenal Academy in Columbia, has not succeeded in accomplishing the wishes of the Board of Visitors, to the extent desired. The course of this failure is mainly, if not wholly, referable to the want of proper physical means, to enforce the necessary rigid discipline and accountability of the Cadets. If the maintenance of this institution, either as a school, or as a depot of arms, was demanded by necessity, or the convenience of the county, the Board would <br /><br />[Page 15] <br /><br />ask your Excellency to urge upon the Legislature the necessity of granting an appropriation sufficient to erect a strong wall enclosing the post, and to pay additional instructors. But believing that the increased mean and diminished expense of transportation has satisfied all the reasons for the establishment of the post, as an arsenal; and that the Citadel in Charleston possesses advantages for a school, which cannot be realized here, we respectfully recommend that the two institutions, both as arsenals and schools, be consolidated at the Citadel. <br /><br />In point of health, the three years experience has proved the Citadel superior in salubrity to the Arsenal at Columbia. Cadets from all parts of the state have been assembled there from the upper, as well as the lower districts, and all have equally enjoyed almost entire exemption from disease, and no case has occurred fairly attributed to a difference of climate. Indeed, we feel authorized to say, that the Cadets from the upper districts have enjoyed uninterrupted good health. <br /><br />The Citadel is in a large and populous city: and in consequence, its officers and cadets under the salutary controlling influence of public opinion, unfettered by the number of young men placed in the institution, or the partiality of their immediate connections and friends. There, the institution will stand, or fall upon its merits alone. <br /><br />As a general depot of arms for the state, the Citadel possesses the advantages of a position at a point, where all the rail roads and water transportation from all parts of the <br /><br />[Page 16] <br /><br />State, necessarily concentrate; and from which any section can be supplied with arms and military stores, at the least cost, and in the shortest time. <br /><br />In addition to the advantages to be enjoyed by the citizens of the state, in the increased numbers which a combination of the funds now separately appropriated for the Citadel and Arsenal will enable & educate, the Board regards as not unimportant, the strength of the guard, and the espirit de corps and emulation excited by such increases. <br /><br />The Board of Visitors, therefore, most respectfully ask your Excellency to submit to the Legislature, the propriety of consolidating the two institutions at the Citadel in Charleston.” <br /><br />Respectfully submitted <br />(Signed) James Jones <br />Chairman of Board of Visitors <br /><br />Columbia, December 1845 <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the Board adjourned to meet at the place at 9 O’ clock AM, the day after the adjournment of the Legislature. <br /><br />[Page 17] <br /><br />Executive Office, Columbia <br />16th December 1845 <br /><br />The Board met by adjournment at 9 O’ clock AM <br /><br />Present <br /><br />James Jones, Chairman <br />D. F. Jamison <br />Daniel Wallace <br />W. J. Hanna <br />J. H. Means <br />J. W. Cantey <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the following beneficiary probationary pupils be directed to report themselves to the Superintendent of the Arsenal Academy on 1st January next, instead of the Citadel Academy as heretofore resolved: & that they be immediately notified hereof.

Staley – Lexington <br /><br />be admitted into the Arsenal Academy as probationary beneficiary pupils: and that they all report themselves to the Superintendent thereof on 1st January next. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That A.

Jamison, be transferred to the Citadel Academy in Charleston: and that they report themselves to the Superintendent thereof on 1st January next: & shall enter such class as the Superintendent shall find they are qualified for, upon examination. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the Beneficiary Cadets who are discharged or dismissed at either of the Academies, be allowed their expenses home. <br /><br />[Page 19]<br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the Bursar of the Citadel Academy pay to Doct. J. H. Boatwright of Columbia, the sum of fifty dollars (50$): his charge for medical attendance upon Professor Capers. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the communication of Major J. G. Brown, relative to his son Cadet L. J. Brown, be laid on the table. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the Bursar of the Citadel Academy be charged with the safe keeping: & preservation of the arms, ammunition, & other public stores & property confided to his case by the Superintendent. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That the officers of the Military Academies, be allowed fuel for their public offices, & recitation rooms; but not for their private rooms. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That leave of absence be granted to the Superintendent of the Citadel Academy, for 10 days, at any time he may deem it proper to leave the Citadel Academy. <br /><br />[Page 20] <br /><br />The Chairman of the Board, [space] submitted the resignation of Capt Herbert, Superintendent of the Military Academy in Columbia, of which the following is a copy, <br /><br />“Arsenal <br />Dec. 16 1845 <br /><br />D’ Sir, <br /><br />As my relinquishment of the post of Superintendent & Professor of the Arsenal Academy seems to be desired, I have no wish to embarrass the proceedings of your Board, by making it necessary for them to enforce my removal. <br /><br />Which I therefore am entirely unconscious of having done anything to disqualify me for the post, I surrender to you my resignation. <br /><br />I remain Sir, <br />Very respectfully <br />Yr ob serv <br />(signed) A.

Herbert, Superintendent of the Arsenal Academy be accepted, to take place on 1st January next. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That it is not necessary to fill the vacancy in the Arsenal Academy occasioned by the resignation of Capt Herbert. <br /><br />[Page 21] <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That Mr. Matthews be placed in the sole charge of the Arsenal Academy: & that his salary be increased to the sum of fourteen hundred dollars per annum, with the rank of Captain. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That it is expedient to elect another Professor for the Citadel Academy in Charleston for the ensuing year. <br /><br />Resolved, <br /><br />That Major John A.
