Northwestern Military Academy (Chicago) purchased 120 'short' Krags in 1908.
In 1911, the academy moved to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and was renamed Northwestern Military & Naval Academy. In 1995 the school merged to become St. Johns - Northwestern Military Academy, which is still in operation.
Northwestern M.A. in the early 1900's was involved in promoting military use of the bicycle, 'scout cars' and armored cars. Some 1915 vintage photos reveal Northwestern cadets with short Krags.
