and Naval academiei rank
among the nation'* finest insti
tutions of higher learning. To

excellent opportunities for edu

professional officers. Their
graduates emerge with bachelor
of science degrees and com
missions in the Army or Navy,
taking places of responsibility
and leadership in the defense
of the country. The mission of
these Federal academies re

vestment of time and funds the
Federal government makes in
each cadet or midshipman at
the academies call for the best
young men that can be found
for these respected schools.
Appointments to the academ
ies are made primarily by Con
gressmen and Senators. It is
my strong belief that these ap
pointments should be deter
mined by the widest possible
