Riverside Military Academy company history timeline

1907

Riverside Military Academy was founded in 1907 by local Professors and Businessmen- Haywood Jefferson Pearce and Azor Warner Van Hoose, Jr with the mission of preparing ethical young men for success in college and life.

1917

By September 1917 the facilities had been rearranged so that a mess hall, kitchen, office, and classrooms were set up on the first floor of South Barracks and the second and third floors were used for dormitories for the 40 enrolled students.

1928

Three properties were available, and Beaver settled on a 200-room, three-story hotel in Hollywood that had been built in 1928 to house guests who wanted the Florida sunshine but did not want to be on the ocean.

1935

An area of approximately 35 acres was also purchased by the Academy, so that between 1923 and 1936 the Academy added enough land to bring the campus up to approximately 200 acres. It was used for about 12 years, but during the Depression the course was used very little and the Academy eventually bought the land in 1935.

1941

A board of trustees was formed, and minutes show that the first board meeting was on June 30, 1941.

1947

The Fuseliers Honor Military Society, a voluntary special drill platoon, was created in 1947.

1963

John L. Beaver left the faculty due to illness in 1963; he remained on the board and became chairman at the time of his father's death.

1992

By 1992 membership on the board still included Heywood Hosch, Lucile Beaver, Louise Beaver Chandler and Frank Wiegand.
