During the past year, the health at both posts, has been perfect: strict discipline has been prescribed: and the regulations pertaining both to the Academy and the Garrison have been maintained. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The class presented to the Board for graduation at the annual examination consisted of nineteen – seventeen of whom received diplomas conferred by the institution – two of the number having been reported by the faculty deficient in their studies, were regarded by the Board as not entitled to that distinction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Page 10] &lt;br /&gt;At the annual meeting of the Board on the 1st instant, there were twenty seven pay and fifteen beneficiary cadets remaining in the Citadel Academy: thirty pay cadet, and ten beneficiaries were ordered to be transferred from the Arsenal Academy: one pay and one beneficiary were retained at the Arsenal, making at present in the institution fifty eight pay and twenty six beneficiaries. There were appointed at the same time fifty five pay cadets and thirty two beneficiaries to enter the Arsenal Academy: so that on the 1st January next, there will be in the Citadel fifty seven pay cadets and twenty five beneficiaries, and at the Arsenal fifty six pay, and thirty three beneficiaries; making in the aggregate one hundred and seventy one cadets in the Military Academies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number of cadets appointed to the Academies, on the basis of population and taxation, has been slightly modified in a few of the districts, by a new apportionment under the last census, as will be seen by reference to exhibit A accompanying this report. By a clause annexed to the last annual appropriation for the support of the Military Academies, it was provided “That each election district shall be entitled to send to said Academies, a number of beneficiaries equal to its representation in the House of Representatives, or in that proportion, as far as the appropriation for the schools may allow .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Page 11] &lt;br /&gt;The effect of this amendment would be to give to the districts of Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton, Georgetown, Orangeburg and Sumter, twenty seven beneficiaries: which under the basis hitherto adopted, those districts are only entitled to nineteen, and to reduce the districts for instance of Barnwell, Edgefield, Laurens, Pendleton, Richland and York to the number of eight beneficiaries, while they are now entitled to fourteen. Such an apportionment was regarded as so manifestly unequal, and the effect of the amendment so different from what was probably contemplated by the Legislature, that the Board have determined to throw themselves upon the indulgence of Your Honorable Body, in making the apportionment of cadets, for the present year, upon the basis hitherto adopted – deferring to the next apportionment in strict conformity to the amendment in question, if no modification of it is made at the present session of the Legislature. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For several years, representations have been made to the Board, of the inadequacy of the quarters at the Arsenal, to the wants and comforts of the officers at that post. The rooms assigned to two of the officers are surrounded by those occupied by cadets, and unsuited as they are to the former, especially those with families, they would make comfortable quarters for the latter and to that extent would afford accommodations for an additional number of cadets. At the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Page 12] &lt;br /&gt;instance of these officers, the Board assembled here in June last, to devise some means for their better accommodation, but on examination they found, that by the plan of the buildings no alteration could be made, which would accomplish the end in view: and as the estimate for an additional building very far exceeded any sum which they could appropriate for the purpose, they have therefore referred the matter to the consideration of Your Honorable Body with the plan and estimates for an additional building at the Arsenal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Board make the following report of the receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year from Oct 1 1854 to Sep 30 1855 – for a more specific account of which they refer to the annual accounts of the Bursars of the Academies herewith transmitted, accompanied by proper voucher. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Receipts&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Amount balance unexpended at last report - $3487.14 &lt;br /&gt;Received from appropriations – 29240 &lt;br /&gt;Received from pay cadets – 17683.33 &lt;br /&gt;[Total] 50410.47 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Expenditures&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid salaries - $12835 &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid subsistence – 1197.02 &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid clothing – 8786.47 &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid washing – 1740.60 &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid hire of servants – 2157.57 &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid music – 350.63 &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid contingencies including fuel, lights, books, stationery, medicine, repairs, etc. – 5720.57 Amount paid permanent improvements, viz. &lt;br /&gt;Paid by the Bursar – 1527.50 &lt;br /&gt;Paid by Chairman BV – 800 &lt;br /&gt;Amount paid Magazine Guard – 1075.13 B&lt;br /&gt;alance on hand – 3445.10 &lt;br /&gt;[Total] 50410.47 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Page 13] &lt;br /&gt;The balance as appears by the statement is $3445.10 but there are outstanding claims which will absorb the greater portion of that amount. An abstract from the reports of the Arsenal Keeper at Charleston and Columbia is herewith transmitted – and also exhibit (&lt;strong&gt;B&lt;/strong&gt;) of the number of cadets appointed; of those who failed to report; of those rejected: honorably discharged; discharged for deficiency etc. from January 1st 1843 to December 1855. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[See chart on original copy.] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Page 14] &lt;br /&gt;[See chart on original copy.]</text>

�REMARKS�

Two MILITARY ScHooLs were established, and are supported
by the State of South Carolina-one at Charleston, and one
at Columbia; the latter auxiliary to the former. Two Arsenals,
containing the arms and munitions of war of the State, are
located, one in Charleston, and the other in Columbia, which
were formerly guarded by two companies of enlisted soldiers,
at an annual expense of twenty-four thousand dollars. In
1842 this appropriation was transferred, by an act of the
General Assembly, to the support of two schools, whic� were
organized upon the basis of the United States Military
Academy at West Point, in the beginning of 1843, by a
permanent Board of Visitors, appointed by the Govemor, the
Cadets at which perform all the duties of a guard for the
Arsenals.
The Cadets admitted consist of two classes-beneficiary
and pa;y Cadets. The State supplies to the beneficiary Cadet
all his expenses. The pay Cadet -pays two hundred dollars
per year for every charge, including clothing. The beneficiary
Cadets are selected from those not able to bear their own
expenses. Applications for admission are made to the Chair­
man of the Board of Visitors, prior to the annual meeting of
the Board, which takes place on Friday next after the fourth
Monday in November in each year; at which time all
appointments are made by the Board for both classes of
Cadets, respect being had to a due apportionment among the
several judicial districts of the State. (For form of applica­
tion, see appendix.)

EXPLANATION OF CONDUCT ROLL.
All offences against Orders or Regulations are recorde d.
These offences are divided into seven grades ; each of which
comprises offences of nearly the same degree of criminality.
A degree of criminality of offences of each grade is ex­
pressed by a number, as fo1lows:
Offences of the 1st grade by - - . - - - - - - - - 10
Do - - - 2d - - do - - - - - - - - - - - - - 8
Do - - - 3d - - do - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5
Do - - - 4th - - do - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4
Do - - - 5th - - do - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3
Do - - - 6th - - do - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2 /

Do - - - 7th - . do - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
For each year (after the first year) that a Cadet has been a
member of the Academy, his offences are made to count more,
by adding to the number expressing the degree of criminality
of each offence, one-sixth for the second year, one-third for
the third year, and one-half for the four�h year.
At the end of the Academic year, these numbers are added
up, and the sum thus obtained is that found in the column of
"Demerit." (See the next page.)
The demerit for the Graduating Class is estimated fo1; their
whole term. When a Cadet has more than two hundred de­
merits in any one year he is dismissed.
