"Culver Military Academy, a secondary boarding school for boys, was founded in 1894 by Henry Harrison Culver, a wealthy St. Louis businessman. Culver is one of many such schools and colleges founded in the nineteenth century that used a military framework as the primary means for the character education of American boys. Unlike many such institutions, however, Culver has survived to the present as a military school ... At the heart of the Culver education from 1894 to the 1950s was the military system; it was seen as the best way to shape the man out of the boy. The primary focus of this study is on the changing nature and role of this idea in the Culver education"--Preface.
