Each of them have found success at varied levels and each of them have been able to discipline themselves and gain the knowledge and tools to use later in their lives. You will find embedded in our rules and regulations the Wentworth Core Values; and they will become a major part of your daily life. If you learn the core values and live by them you will be successful at Wentworth and in your life after you graduate. Life at Wentworth Military Academy is really not difficult, it provides you a chance to learn the self-discipline, and determination in your life to obtain goals that will take you to success. The rules and regulations are spelled out very plainly in this book and they will guide you to finding success. Each Cadet as he or she continues their career at Wentworth will reach milestones and that will give you a greater desire to continue to work toward your goals. Success at Wentworth requires you to have a positive attitude about following the rules and showing a desire to be a leader within the Corps.

8 FOREWORD 1. Wentworth Military Academy & College (WMAC), as part of its program to promulgate the rules, regulations and standard operating procedures of the institution, issues this publication. This publication will herein be known as the Wentworth Military Academy and College Cadet Rules & Regulations. 2. Included in the Cadet Rules & Regulations are the basic rules, regulations and standard operating procedures regarding programs, policies, procedures, and Cadet conduct and Cadet standards of performance. Although the Cadet Rules & Regulations is directive in nature, these provisions are intended as a minimal guide because the Corps of Cadets and personal Cadet standards are expected to exceed these minimum specifications. 3. The Corps of Cadets run by the Corps of Cadets depends on all Cadets regardless of longevity, position, or rank. All Cadets must study and gain a working knowledge of the rules and regulations as soon as received and reference and review the Cadet Rules & Regulations throughout their class years at Wentworth. 8

9 ABOUT THE CADET RULES & REGULATIONS 1. PURPOSE. To establish a permanent and encompassing set of rules, regulations and standard operating procedures necessary for the effective day-to-day operations of the Wentworth Military Academy and College Corps of Cadets and serve as a guide for the Wentworth Staff/faculty and Cadets in the administration and discipline of the Corps of Cadets. 2. INTERPRETATION. The interpretation of the Cadet Rules & Regulations is a function of command exercised by the Commandant. When any doubt arises as to the intent of the rules and regulations, a Cadet will seek advice through their Chain of Command (Squad Leader Platoon Sergeant Platoon Leader First Sergeant Company Commander) and ultimately, their Company TAC. 3. COMPLIANCE. Cadets will comply with the spirit (intent) and letter of the rules and regulations. Ignorance is not an excuse. The Cadet Rules & Regulations apply to WMAC Cadets at all times during the school year, summer school, or other training period (cadre training, athletic pre-season, etc.). 4. APPLICABILITY. Cadets are considered to be under the jurisdiction of WMAC at all times from arrival (beginning/ending at the airport, bus or train depot, cab, or privately owned vehicle) to authorized departure for furlough or graduation. This includes Cadets on the WMAC campus and in the city limits of Lexington, Cadets off campus acting as representatives of the Academy, Cadets in the WMAC uniform (regardless of location), and Cadets on any WMAC sponsored trip. 5. ACTIONS IN SITUATIONS NOT ADDRESSED BY CADET RULES & REGULATIONS. In cases not specifically covered by regulation Cadets will appropriately conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen. It is understood the Cadet Rules & Regulations cannot address every situation; therefore Cadets finding themselves confronted with a situation not covered herein shall use best judgment with the senior Cadet present taking charge. In such a situation the individual or senior Cadet present shall be guided by asking himself/herself the following, What is the right thing to do, at this time, in this situation, all things considered? In the rare event where circumstances over which he/she has no control make it necessary for a Cadet to violate orders or regulations to do the obviously right thing, then the Cadet will report the fact of the situation as soon as practicable to their chain of command. 6. UPDATE PROCESS. The Commandant will assemble necessary staff, faculty, cadets, and/or subject matter experts in order to draft revisions to the rules and regulations as required. Updates will be coordinated through the applicable Senior Staff prior to submission to the Superintendent for approval. Once approved, an updated electronic copy of the Rules & Regulations will be published on the Wentworth website and made available on the network to all Cadets, staff, and faculty. 7. LIMITATIONS. No additional rules will be made by a member of the Chain of Command or any other Cadet without specific direction from the Commandant s Office. It is every Cadet s duty to report violations the Rules and Regulations. It is every staff and faculty member s responsibility to support and enforce the rules and regulations and make immediate, on-the-spot corrections as necessary. 9

12 Chapter 1 - History, Mission and Core Values Wentworth Military Academy and College is a private four-year college preparatory high school and military junior college. It is located in Lexington, Missouri, part of the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Wentworth is the oldest military academy west of the Mississippi River, and the campus is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of five military junior colleges in the United States. Among the programs that Wentworth offers is the Army's two-year Early Commissioning Program, an Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program through which qualified students can earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant after two years of college. Wentworth also has had 100% acceptance into the Air Force Academy over the past 20 years through its Falcon Foundation Scholarship program. Because the high school shares the campus with the junior college, many high school students accelerate their education and gain college credit during their junior and senior years. 1. BACKGROUND. Lexington's Civil War Battle of the Hemp Bales was still a recent memory when Stephen G. Wentworth founded Wentworth Military Academy in By the 1870s, the town had already attained the reputation as the "Athens of the West" for its many academic institutions. Lexington was home to three notable schools for girls. Lexington Baptist Female College was started in 1850 in the old county courthouse that had been abandoned upon the construction of the new Lafayette County Courthouse, built in 1847 and still in use today. In 1869 the Baptist Female College moved its operation to the former home of Pony Express Founder William B. Waddell at the comer of 13th and South Streets. Elizabeth Aull Seminary was opened in the fall of 1860 and operated in a large building on Highland Avenue. Central Female College, later Central College for Women, began in 1868 and, in 1871, took over the old Masonic College on the grounds of the Battlefield. However, Lexington's educators, business leaders and ministers had made numerous attempts to establish a school for boys and young men. Public schools were not yet widespread and there was a glaring need for a boys' school, but none had been successful. The most visible failed effort was the Masonic College of Missouri, which moved to Lexington in 1847 and operated until WENTWORTH MALE ACADEMY. On May 12, 1879, Wentworth's 27-year-old son William died. As a memorial, Wentworth focused his attention on finally making a school for boys a reality in Lexington. In the spring of 1880, Mr. Wentworth announced that a new school named Wentworth Male Academy would begin operation in the fall. Mr. Wentworth had a long record of public service to Lexington. A local editorial writer proclaimed that Wentworth was "One of our oldest, most generous and most worthy citizens" and "no nobler name can this community furnish (the new school)." On May 24, 1880, Mr. Wentworth bought the "New Presbyterian Church" at the southwest corner of 18th and Main Streets, directed that it be fitted up for the next term, and gave the school solid financial backing. Although his financial involvement was limited to the Academy's early years of operation, his foresight led to the establishment of the first board of trustees and his generosity provided a firm foundation for the school. Wentworth also announced that 22-year-old Benjamin Lewis Hobson, the son of the local Presbyterian minister who had run a fledgling private boys' school in town the previous year, would be given charge of W.M.A. Young Hobson had graduated from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1877, and had spent the next two years as teacher and then principal of Spencer Institute in Taylorsville, Kentucky. In the summer of 1879, he had returned to his hometown of Lexington and started Hobson's Select School for Boys. 12

13 Benjamin Hobson knew that he could not operate the new school alone, and he turned to Sandford Sellers, a 26-year-old friend and former classmate at Centre College in Kentucky. Sellers eagerly accepted Hobson's invitation to join him as co-principal at Wentworth Male Academy. When Hobson left to pursue a career in the ministry at the end of the school year, Sellers took full charge of the academy. 3. WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY. Sandford Sellers became the force who forged Wentworth's national reputation, and his hand would guide the school for the next 58 years. In the early days, he handled all the institution's administrative affairs, academic planning, and student recruitment on his own, canvassing surrounding areas on horseback. In 1882, Wentworth became a military school, and Sellers hired Captain David W. Fleet, a graduate of Virginia Military Institute, as the first Commandant. Fleet brought VMI terms such as "rats", "rears", and "Old Boys" to the school, all still familiar to Cadets today. The school officially changed its name to Wentworth Military Academy in Sellers' skills as educator, administrator, businessman, and promoter saw the institution through its first half-century of growth, and his vision is still evident today. He led the school through economic panics of the 1890s, when he struggled to keep enrollment above 100, and through the boom times of World War I, when enrollment more than doubled to over 500 Cadets. He also oversaw the addition of the junior college in By the mid-1920s, Sandford Sellers handed over much of the day-to-day operations of the school to his sons, Sandford Sellers, Jr., superintendent from 1923 to 1933, and James M. Sellers, Commandant and Assistant Superintendent. But Sandford Sellers stayed very involved until his death in 1938 after a fall in the school gymnasium. 4. FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION TO POST-WORLD WAR II PROSPERITY. When the Great Depression of the 1930s hit the country, Wentworth, like many institutions across the country, struggled to survive. In 1933, Colonel James M. Sellers assumed duties as superintendent of the school and was soon joined at the helm by Colonel Lester B. Wikoff, Treasurer and Business Manager. Together, Sellers' natural leadership and Wikoff's business acumen would lead the school to new heights. Colonel Sellers and Colonel Wikoff guided the school through the lean years of the 1930s and into the prosperity of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. During their term of leadership, Wentworth added a number of buildings to the campus, including the Sellers-Wikoff Scholastic Building, the Memorial Chapel, Sandford Sellers Hall, and the Wikoff Field House. In addition, a unique military aviator training program complete with its own airport was launched to train pilots. A highlight of the Sellers-Wikoff era was President Harry S. Truman's speech to the Cadet corps at Wentworth's 75th Anniversary celebration in In 1960, Sellers retired as Superintendent but remained as President of the school, and Wikoff served as Superintendent from 1960 to During that time, Wentworth had unparalleled enrollment, averaging over 600 students a year. 5. CONTINUITY AND CHANGE ) IN THE POST-VIETNAM ERA. In 1973, a third generation of the Sellers family assumed leadership of the Academy when Colonel James M. Sellers, Jr., a 1945 Wentworth graduate was named as Superintendent. In the early 1970s, the school was again faced with crisis. Anti-military backlash from the country's continued involvement in the Vietnam War, combined with double digit inflation, caused enrollment to plummet. Many military schools across the country simply closed their doors. Wentworth was dealt an additional blow when, in 1975, a fire destroyed two buildings and severely damaged others, causing the loss of over 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2 of space). 13

14 Despite these setbacks, Colonel J. M. Sellers, Jr., was able to stabilize enrollment by 1978 and lead the Academy through another period of growth. In 1980, Wentworth celebrated its centennial year, with Vice-President Walter Mondale addressing the corps of Cadets at commencement. In the early 1980s, enrollment continued to rise, peaking at over 400 Cadets in In 1990, Colonel Sellers, Sr., who taught Latin until he was 95 years old, died, and Colonel Sellers, Jr., resigned as superintendent, ending a remarkable 110 years of the Sellers family's continuous involvement in the operation of the Academy. 6. MODERN EXPANSION. In the 1990s, Wentworth struggled with enrollment. As part of a new approach, female Cadets were admitted for the first time in 1993, and today they make up about twenty-five percent of the corps. In 2002, Major General John H. Little, Wentworth Class of 1961, returned to campus as Superintendent. Under his stewardship, Tillotson Barracks was constructed using donation money. The Wentworth Foundation put the school on stronger financial footing. In 2008, a 4 th generation Sellers, COL William Wentworth Sellers, was appointed the 14th President of Wentworth. He is the son the COL J.M. Sellers, Jr., grandson of COL J.M. Sellers, Sr., Great-grandson of COL Sandford Sellers, Jr. and Great-Great Grandson of COL Sandford Sellers, Sr. In this same year COL Michael Lierman was appointed the 14 th Superintendent. COL Sellers resigned as President in COL Michael Lierman was initially named Interim President and Superintendent for the Academic Year and at the conclusion of the academic year the Board of Trustees formally named him President and Superintendent of Wentworth Military Academy & College. 14

15 MISSION "The mission of Wentworth Military Academy and Junior College is to provide the environment and resources necessary for its students to develop their potential in academics, leadership, physical well-being, moral character, and self-discipline so they become productive citizens in a diverse, global society. CORE VALUES Teamwork Strive to be a strong and loyal team member. You must exercise strong values to be a good member of the team. Leaders strive to develop effective teams. Analyze your personal and unit goals holistically, considering how your actions support or hinder the progress of the group. You must stand up for your leadership, for your peers, and for your followers. Ultimately, both triumph and failure are shared by all. Being a true team member requires believing in and devoting your efforts to something greater than yourself. Honor Honor is your word, it cannot be taken from you, and it is freely given. Develop the habit of being honorable, and solidify that habit with every value choice you make. Honor is a matter of carrying out, acting, and living the values of respect, duty, loyalty, integrity and teamwork in everything you do. Integrity Do what is right, legally and morally. Integrity is a quality you develop by adhering to guiding moral principles. It requires that you do and say nothing that deceives others. As your integrity grows, so does the trust others place in you. Be true to your values and do not compromise them for others. Without integrity all other values fail. It is integrity which keeps them intact. Integrity is the summation of our character. The more choices you make based on integrity, the more this highly prized value will affect your relationships with family and friends, and, finally, the fundamental acceptance of yourself. Respect Treat other with dignity and respect and expect other to do the same. Respect what allows us to appreciate the best in other people. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. If you do not first give respect do not expect to receive it. Respect is the only value that you have to earn. Self-respect allows you to appreciate the best in yourself, resulting from knowing you have put forth your best effort. Duty You are obligated to do what must be done. Doing your duty means more than carrying out your assigned tasks. Duty means being able to accomplish tasks as part of a team. We have duty at all levels: duty to family, duty to nation and state, duty to job, and duty to team. You fulfill your obligations as a part of your unit every time you resist the temptation to take shortcuts that might undermine the integrity of the end product. 15

16 Chapter 2 - Duties and Cadet Responsibilities 1. NEW CADET. All boarding students newly enrolled at Wentworth will be known as New Cadets.

31 Chapter 3 -- Personal Appearance, Uniform, and Room Standards 1. PERSONAL APPEARANCE. In the Corps of Cadets discipline is judged, in part, by the manner in which Cadets wear a prescribed uniform, as well as by the individual s personal appearance. A neat and well-groomed appearance by all Cadets is fundamental to the Corps and contributes to building the pride and esprit essential to an effective unit. A vital ingredient to the Corps strength and effectiveness is the pride and self-discipline Cadets develop through the maintenance of a conservative military image. It is the responsibility of the chain of command to ensure Cadets under their command present a neat and professional appearance. Cadets must take pride in their appearance at all times, in or out of uniform, on and off duty. a. GENERAL. Cadets will observe the following rules with respect to personal appearance and grooming. 1) All Cadets will bathe daily. 2) Male Cadets will shave before the first formation each morning and keep their face clean shaven while in uniform. Male Cadets will also be clean shaven when arriving from or departing on furlough when wearing civilian clothes. Squad leaders will inspect male Cadets for proper shave and haircut at the first daily formation. On weekends where no required formations are being conducted, male cadets will shave prior to leaving their barracks to use any Wentworth facilities (dining hall, computer lab, weight room, field house, etc.) and will not leave campus without shaving. 3) All Cadets will keep their fingernails trimmed and clean. Males will keep nails trimmed so as not to extend beyond the fingertip. Females will not exceed a nail length of ¼ inch as measured from the tip of the finger. 4) Extreme, eccentric or trendy haircuts or hairstyles are not authorized. Judgment as to what is considered extreme, eccentric, or trendy lies with the Office of the Commandant. The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair may not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt or extreme appearance. Cadets cannot use hair dyes, tints or bleaches that result in an extreme appearance. Applied hair colors that are prohibited include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright (fireengine) red and fluorescent or neon colors. b. MALE HAIR CUT STANDARDS. 1) No Cadet is permitted to shave his head. 2) No Cadet is required to have a high and tight haircut. 3) All male New Cadets will have their hair cut to a length of no more than ¼ inch until they achieve promotion to Old Boy. 4) Sideburns will be neatly trimmed. Sideburns will not be flared or pointed; the base of the sideburn will be a clean shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the bottom of the opening of the ear canal. 5) Hair will present a tapered (not blocked) appearance. When combed, it will not touch the ears, eyebrows, or the collar. Tapering of the hair will start from the skin at the base of the sideburns and above and around the ears to the back of the neck. From this point upward, the taper will be gradual as it approaches its maximum length or depth on top of the head so that at the cap line, the hair will not protrude beyond the cap base, either on the sides, or back. Any visible horizontal line of the base of the hair on the neck constitutes an unauthorized blocked haircut. 6) The maximum depth will not exceed 1 inch (1/2 inch for New Cadets) after hair is normally combed. The bulk or length of the hair will not interfere with the normal wear of all standard headgear. 31

This includes performing well each day in the classroom as well as completing all class work and homework assignments efficiently and in a timely manner. 1. HONORS AND GRADE POINT SYSTEM a. COLLEGE. 1) A college Cadet must carry a full academic load (refer to Academic Load) for the 16-week semesters ending in December or May and the 8-week term ending in August in order to be eligible for any of the academic honor lists. 2) For the Academic Dean s List, the college Cadet must earn a semester GPA of 3.0 or higher and have no grade below C. For the President s List, the college Cadet must earn a minimum GPA of 3.50 or higher and not have any grade below a B. 3) The GPA is calculated as follows: Multiply the number of semester hours earned in a specific course by the quality point for the grade in the course. Complete the same procedure for each course and add all the quality points together. Divide the sum by the sum of all semester hours attempted. The result is the Cadet s/student s GPA. 4) The grading system of WMAC is on a 4.0 scale as follows: A = (4.000 quality points) B = (3.000 quality points) C = (2.000 quality points) D = (1.000 quality points) F = 0 59 (0.000 quality points) Other grades used include the following: W = Withdrew (not counted in calculating GPA) AW = Administrative Withdraw b. HIGH SCHOOL. 1) The high school will operate on a seven period day and most Cadets will take seven classes each day. A Cadet will earn ½ credit for each class that is successfully completed for each semester. High school Cadets who maintain a 3.0 GPA or the average approved by the College Dean and the High School Principal will be allowed to take a certain number of college classes sometimes during their junior year and their senior year. 2) High School grade point average will be calculated on an 11 point scale and then converted to a 4 point scale as follows: A (11 quality points) A (10 quality points) B (9 quality points) B (8 quality points) B (7 quality points) C (6 quality points) C (5 quality points) C (4 quality points) D (3 quality points) D (2 quality points) D (1 quality point) F (0 quality points) Grade Point Average will then be converted to a 4.0 scale. 51

59 Chapter 6 - Privileges 1. DUTY. a. Doing your duty is simply doing what ought to be done, when it should be done, on your own with a spirit of service. It is the sense of obligation that motivates one to do, to the best of his or her ability, what is expected at all times. One should neither anticipate a reward nor fear a punishment as motivation to do one s duty, but do so out of an internalized sense of responsibility. In a military environment, the concept of duty must be followed more rigidly than in any other organization. b. The obligation or responsibility to perform one's duty applies to each Cadet at all times, 24 hours a day, in or out of uniform, at or away from Wentworth, and is not contingent upon rank or leadership position. c. Cadet in Good Standing. A Cadet in good standing is any Cadet who is not on AA and not on DPL, Tours, or Restriction.(include academic/athletic/disciplinary probation) d. Individual Responsibilities. 1) Duty before Privileges. Duty always takes precedence over privileges. Duty may be academic, physical, or military in nature and may not necessarily appear in writing. Duty assignments may be explicit or implicit. 2) Behavior. Cadets are expected to exercise good judgment in all things and must not engage in any activities that violate the provisions of these regulations; local, state or federal laws. A Cadet's behavior must at all times reflect credit upon the individual, the Corps of Cadets, and Wentworth. 3) Familiarity with Regulations. Cadets are responsible to know, abide by, and enforce the standards established within this SOP. 4) Spirit of the Regulations. A Cadet is expected to act in accordance with the intent or spirit of regulations, directives and orders. 2. PRIVILEGES. a. GENERAL. 1) Privileges Must be Earned. Privileges are authorized for Cadets, commensurate with their rank/position/status, who are in good standing in all program areas. 2) Privileges vs. Duty. Duty takes precedence over privileges. Cadets, who are in good standing, are authorized privileges once their duties are complete. All days, except those designated as leave/furlough periods, are considered duty days. During the academic year, the achievement of excellence in all program areas is the priority mission. 3) Approving Authority. The Company TAC (with input from the chain of command) is the initial approving authority for all privileges. In coordination with the TAC, Cadet Company Commanders may withdraw some or all of a Cadet's privileges due to sub-standard performance in academics, military duties, or conduct. b. MERIT SYSTEM. Meeting and exceeding the expected performance and behavior standards within the Corps of Cadets can earn positive recognition and merits. These merits accumulate throughout the course of a Cadet s time at Wentworth and can be exchanged for various benefits such as permits or additional furloughs. Merits are also used to balance out demerits a Cadet may receive for infractions of the rules and regulations. 1) Earning Merits. Cadets earn merits at the rate of 10 per week. Cadets on Tour Roster or DPL will not earn merits until removed from those lists. Merits can be earned for the following events: 59

Merits accumulate throughout a Cadet s time at Wentworth and carry over between semesters as well as academic years. At the end of each week merits will automatically be applied against any outstanding demerits earned by a Cadet. Remaining accumulated merits can then be exchanged by a Cadet for the items listed below. Merits may only be exchanged through coordination with the Cadet s TAC Officer and may not be used until they are published on the weekly report. i. Weekday Permit: 10 merits ii. Sleep Through: 25 merits c.
