Are these really all worthy of articles? They existed, they trained people, but is there enough unique material to make they worth filling in to anything but a stub that could just be included in this list? Night Gyr 05:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. I imported this list from a third-party source, and am not an expert on the history of military academies. I presume that eventually one or more experts will come along and create those articles for important schools and de-link the links for the unimportant ones. Until then, I think it's best to err on the side of caution and leave the links in so that people can find articles as they're created. —Psychonaut 07:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. There's no reason not to leave this list; then articles will slowly be created for them. -- Necrothesp 23:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The decline of so many military schools is worthy of an article in its own right. The causes of the decline are sociological, and reaction to Vietnam War is chief among them. Speciate 06:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)speciate[reply]

I don't know about you folks but to ensure the proper conditioning of my brain I took a few minutes to memorize the list. See you on Jeapordy68.13.60.210 (talk) 10:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Empire State Military Academy? Does it still exist? Has no webpage, anyway? If it doesn't, it was still going in the 1990's. Mikedelsol (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the page is kept, the state abbreviations should be written correctly. Currently listed are the Postal abbreviations for the states. It is proper to use the traditional abbreviations in text. Thanks, Twalls (talk) 08:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Info About 3 of These Stubs.

I can add a bit of general info for 2 of these schools, probably 3, because they were the same thing. The Alexander Institute was commissioned at Tulip, Arkansas in Aug 1849 and is the direct ancestor to the Arkansas Military Institute. the name was changed in the 50s. The unit was mustered into active service during 1861 under Goods division. When mustered out, many people didn't return to Tulip and the school close permanently. What's left is a nice big Antebellum type house locked behind sturdy fences. As far as number 3 , I believe there never was an arkansas Academy, just an Instute. So again, all 3 are the same entity. I don't directly edit wiki any longer, but anyone interested please feel free to give these stubs a bit of info. Contact me via the talk page and I can supply a bit more and maybe a pic or two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.159.73.185 (talk) 09:39, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
