Has America's greatest educational theorist been lost to history? A man that should be well-remembered as America's Lycurgus or DaVinci. It is worse yet to think his memory may have been purposely obscured and tarnished because his vision for an American System of Education threatened the existence of the U.S. Military Academy and the size of the U.S. Army. In these pages are the remarkable thoughts and controversial history of Captain Alden Partridge. Partridge was a visionary, whose ideas on education were centuries ahead of his time. His model prioritizes creativity, student motivation, physical fitness, and psychological resilience, surpassing even the renowned theorists like Horace Mann, John Dewey, and Malcolm Knowles. His collegiate curriculum, steep in Stoic ethics, prioritizes efficient use of time, cost efficiency, and practical skill obtainment. Come learn more about this exceptional soldier, engineer, surveyor, scientist, environmentalist, politician, pedestrian (hiker) and founder of Norwich University. It is past time to re-examine and re-implement Partridge's concepts to revolutionize our contemporary education systems to truly meet the needs of the American Republic.
