., 

~ 
Gentlemen 

Each of you 1s faced with the 

problem of determining what to 

do with your lives after graduation from high school. As you look 

over this catalogue I would ask 

you to give serious consideration 

to what Annapolis has to offer 

you-and to the possibilities for 

service to your nation that it 

opens to you. The education 

offered by the Naval Academy 

today is one of the finest in the 

nation. It is flexible, of high 

quality, and is conducted in one 

of the finest physical plants in 

the United States. 

But Annapolis offers much more 

than an education. It provides 

training in leadership which will 

stand you in good stead throughout 

your life and it is dedicated 

to the inculcation of those characteristics of manliness, duty, 

and honor which have always 

been associated with service to 

our nation on the highest level. 

Annapolis offers you a sophisticated and advanced education, 

tailorable to many of your 

individual wishes and aptitudesbut much more important, it is 

dedicated to developing within 

its graduates an understanding of 

what it means to be a competent 

and conscientious professional 

officer. I can assure you from 

personal experience that it is as 

exciting, varied, and rewarding a 

career as is open to the young 

men of America anywhere today. 

I recommend that you give it your 

careful consideration.

The Naval Academy 

The U.S. Naval Academy ls the undergraduate college of the U.S. 1 

Navy. Its purpose is to educate and train young men for careers as 

officers in the Naval Service. The Academy is accredited by the Middle 

States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Graduates of 

,ts four-year course are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree and 

are commissioned ensigns in the U.S. Navy or second lieutenants in 

the U.S. Marine Corps. 

Located at the mouth of the Severn River on Chesapeake Bay in 

Annapolis, historic Colonial capital of Maryland, the Academy is 30 

miles east of Washington, D.C., and 25 miles south of Baltimore. Visi· 

tors are welcome during daylight hours. Information and a map of the 

Academy are available at the entrance gates. 

Through t he Years, 1845-1969 

As the Nation's responsibilities and need for seapower have grown 

through the years, the Navy has increased greatly in size and complexity. Keeping pace, in peace and war, from sail to steam, and into 

the nuclear age, the Naval Academy has responded to every challenge, 

expanding its facilities and revising its curriculum as necessary to 

provide the timely second-to-none leadership expected of the American Navy. 

The Naval Academy was founded as the Naval School ,n 1845 by the 

Honorable George Bancroft, distinguished historian and educator and 

Secretary of the Navy in President Polk's Cabinet. Its s,te, Fort Severn, 

was obtained from the War Department. The first Superintendent was 
The 

Naval Academy 

Commander Franklin Buchanan. His seven-member faculty of four 

officers and three civilians taught gunnery, naval tactics, engineering, 

chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, French, and English. Sixty mid• 

shipmen, formed in two classes, attended the Academy's first convo· 

cation. 

Prior to 1845, the majority of a midshipman's training was conducted 

aboard ship under the ship's chaplain. Supplementary training was 

provided from time to time at various schools ashore. These included 

a short-lived school in the Washington Navy Yard, established in 1803, 

and a Naval School established in Philadelphia in 1839 to provide an 

eight-month preparatory course for midshipmen's promotion examina• 

lions. 

Initially the course was five years. Of these, only the first and last 

were spent at the new Naval School at Annapolis. The intervening 

three were spent at sea. In 1850-51 the Naval School was reorganized 

as the U.S. Naval Academy and the course of study became four con• 

secutive years. Summer practice cruises replaced the omitted sea 

service. Thus. today's basic four-year curriculum first appeared at the 

Naval Academy over 100 years ago, long before it became general 

practice in American undergraduate education. 

The Board of Visitors first met at the Academy in 1851. During the 

Civil War the Academy was moved temporarily to Newport. R.I. Fol· 

lowing the war it was returned to Annapolis, where it has since remained. During these early years the Academy was unique in American 

educational experience in that it was one of the few institutions offer• 

ing a sophisticated undergraduate course in technical education. In 

1879 this excellence was recognized by the Paris Exposition in the 

form of a certificate for "The Best System of Education in the United 

States." 

In the late 1870's Albert A. Michelson, a graduate of the Class of 

1873, performed his world-famous experimental measurement of the 

velocity of light while serving as an instructor in the Department of 

Physics and Chemistry at the Academy. Michelson continued his bril· 

liant scientific work after leaving the Navy, and in 1907 he became 

the first American scientist to receive a Nobel Prize. The supreme 

compliment was paid by Albert Einstein who once noted that the in· 

spiration for his theory of relativity came directly from Michelson's 

work. Thus, it comes as no surprise to note that the name selected for 

the science wing of the Academy's recently completed science and 

mathematics building is Michelson Hall. 

Other distinguished graduates have included Mahan, whose profound writing on seapower and its influence on history is still the 

world standard in its field, and an uninterrupted succession of dis· 

tinguished military leaders going back through peace and war for over 

100 years. Admirals Dewey, Sims, King. Nimitz, Halsey, Burke, and 

Rickover need no introduction. Neither do astronauts Shephard, 
Schirra, Lovell, Anders, and Stafford The successors and heirs to their 

greatness are midshipmen today. 

From 1873 to 1912 the academic course was six years, with the 

last two being spent at sea. In 1912 the requirement for two years at 

sea was eliminated and the curriculum reverted to four years. With 

the exception of temporarily shortened curriculums dunng the war 

years. ot has remained fou. years until today. 

Following accredotahon of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association of Amencan Univers,t,es, a 1933 congressional law was passed 

authorizing the Academy to confer the Bachelor of Science degree 

upon all graduates. beginning woth the Class of 1931 Subsequently, 

on 1939, Congress authorized the award of the B.S degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools first accredited the Academy in 1947 And, on 1958, 

the tests of the College Entrance Examonat,on Board replaced Acad 

emy-prepared entrance examinations. 

In 1964 the Academy's Ph.D Program was instituted under which 

highly qualtfoed midshipmen may be selected to go directly to graduate studies leading to a Ph.D. degree Other programs initiated in 

recent years include nuclear power training and a number of graduate 

programs. The most recent, initiated in the fall of 1966, is the Im 

mediate Graduate Education Program under which qualified midship- 3 

men may be selected to enroll on accelerated master's programs im· 

mediately after graduation at part,c,patong universities or at the Naval 

Postgraduate School. Also in 1966, an Academic Advisory Board of 

distinguished Americans was appointed by the Secretary of the Navy 

to advise the Superintendent on academic matters. The Board meets 

three tomes each year 

Highlighted by a record six Rhodes Scholarships on 1930, midship· 

men have won an impressive number of academic honors through 

the years. Two of the ten Churchill Scholarships awarded on the U.S. 

on 1966 were awarded to Academy graduates. In all, midshipmen of the 

Class of 1968 were awarded 29 top scholarships, including one 

Rhodes. f,ve Atom,c Energy Comm,ss,on, one National Science Foundation, eight Guggenheim, ten Burke, one Daedaltan, and three 

awarded by Catholtc University. Eighty-one m1dsh1pmen were selected 

for the Navy's Immediate Graduate Education Program. 

The Naval Academy's debate team has had a consistently fine 

record on recent years. Highlight was a national ranking of fourth on 

1964. During the most recently completed season, the team participated on 30 tournaments, wonning 19 awards. 

M1dsh1pmen have displayed an active and growing interest ,n the 

study of 1nternat1onal affairs. Last spnng. 160 students from more 

than JOO schools attended the Academy's e,ghth annual Foreign 

Affairs Conference. Hogh State Department off,c,als as well as am• 

bassadors and representatives from 20 embassies took part. 
The Naval Academy 

Recent Curriculum Chang es 

The rush of science and technology in recent years has spurred revolutionary changes in the Navy and in the Academy's curriculum. Dis· 

cussed in greater detail on succeding pages, these changes began in 

1959 with provision for incoming midshipmen to validate previous 

college-level work. Concurrent with validation, there was a broaden· 

ing of course offerings and qualified midshipmen were encouraged to 

carry more than the minimum number of courses. 

This was followed in 1963 by the appointment of a civilian Academic 

Dean (pro tern); the initiation of the Trident Scholar program, under 

which a small number of exceptional students are permitted to pursue 

independent research during their First Class (senior) Year; and the 

conversion of the Academy's traditional 4.0-based marking system to 

the more widely used letter-grade system. 

The 1964--65 Academic Year saw the establishment of the civilian 

line positions of Academic Dean and Dean of Admissions under the 

Superintendent. Academic departments were placed directly under the 

Academic Dean. Far-reaching changes made in the curriculum at this 

time followed logically the provisions for validation, electives, and 

"overloads" initiated in 1959. 

The Academy's traditionally uniform basic curriculum gave way 

to a flexible curriculum of core courses and an elected six-course 

minor. Twenty-three minors and 21 (now 23) majors were ottered. 

Study in greater depth was facilitated by a reduction in formal course 

requirements and by an increase in the number and depth of elective 

courses ottered. The Class of 1968 was the first to enter the Academy 

under this new program. 

Most recently, in the fall of 1967, the basic curriculum was strength• 

ened by the addition of certain core courses in the military-professional 

area. Some of this additional work is scheduled during the summer. 

Increasing numbers of midshipmen have taken advantage of the 

flexibility offered by the Academy's validation and elective programs 

to pursue advanced undergraduate study. Members of the most recent 

entering class validated more than 2,000 courses, while over 200 

members of the last graduating class fulfilled requirements for one or 

more majors. 

Facilities 

Physical and academic facilities have kept pace w,th the demands 

of the curriculum and the Fleet. Fort Severn's original 10 acres have 

grown to today's 302 acres. Much of this increase has resulted from 

a series of landfills in the Severn Rover. The most recent landfill, com· 

pleted in 1959, added 56 acres for athletic fields and new buildings. 

Construction of buildings in French Renaissance style began ,n 1899 

with a Congressional appropriation of $10 million. The renowned 
- ------
Naval Academy 1853 and 1908. Michelson and Chauvenet Halls, completed J 968. 
Ernest Flagg was the architect. 

Recent years have seen the addition of new wings to Bancroft Hall, 

the midshipmen's dormitory; the construction of a new Brigade Library and Assembly Hall; the construction of a new athletic field 

house, large enough to accommodate the entire 4,200-man Brigade 

of Midshipmen with families and friends of First Classmen (seniors) 

when used at graduation; and the construction, w,th privately donated 

funds, of the nearby Navy-Manne Corps Memorial Stadium. A complete multimillion-dollar renovation of six of Bancroft Hall's eight 

wings was completed in I 965. 

Currently, a $73-million construction and rehabilitation plan is 

underway. Key structures in this plan are the new science building, 

Michelson Hall and, adjoining, a new mathematics building, Chauvenet Hall. Both were completed in the summer of 1968. A new engin· 

eering building and laboratory complex, a new 750,000-volume Ii· 

brary, and a new 2,500-seat multi-purpose auditorium are scheduled. 

A full range of facilities and services for student and faculty research, 

computer-aided education, and educational television will be provided 

throughout the academic complex. All academic areas will be airconditioned. 

The center of midshipmen activity in today's Yard is Bancroft Hall, 

the largest and surely one of the most beautiful dormitories in the 7 

world. Stretching over many acres, and so large that it must be viewed 

from the air to be seen on its entirety, it houses all of the Brigade as 

well as providing facilities for recreation and basic daily needs. 

Sharing the spotlight on the Yard is the tall, beautiful, and familiar 

Chapel dome, beneath which lies the crypt of America's renowned 

Revolutionary War hero, John Paul Jones. Throughout the Yard stand 

other monuments and mementos commemorating great men and 

deeds of our Navy and perpetuating ,ts traditions.

Foreign Students 

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. On behalf of the President of the 

United States, the Secretary of the Navy 1s authorized to permit up to 

four Filipinos at a time to receive instruction at the Naval Academy. 

Applications for these appointments must be addressed through diplo· 

matic channels. The appointments are on a competitive basis. 

AMERICAN REPUBLICS OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES. Upon 

designation by the President of the United States, the Secretary of 

the Navy is authorized to permit up to 20 persons at a time from for· 

e1gn American Republics to receive instruction at the U.S. Naval 

Academy. Not more than three persons from any one country may 

receive instruction at the same time. Applications for these appoint· 

ments must be addressed through appropriate diplomatic channels. 

The appointments are on a competitive basis. 

Nomi nating Methods 

CONGRESSIONAL. Members of Congress may nominate by either of 

the following methods: 

Principal•Altemate Method 

The Congressman may nominate one principal candidate and nine 

alternate candidates listed in order of his preference. If the principal 

candidate meets the eligibility criteria and qualifies on the entrance 

examinations, he will be offered the appointment. If he does not, the 

next designated alternate candidate who qualifies will be chosen. 

Competitive Method 

The Congressman may nominate a maximum of ten competitors for 

each vacancy. In evaluating these candidates for the Congressman, 

the Academy analyzes the "whole man," assigning appropriate 

weighted values to several factors, including examination scores, pre• 

vious academic work, extracurricular activity, participation 1n sports. 

the holding of class office, and the recommendations of principals and 

teachers. The candidate with the best whole-man composite score is 

offered the appointment. 

OTHER CATEGORIES. The choice between the Principal-Alternate and 

Competitive Methods is also available to the District Commissioner 

and the Governors of Puerto Rico and the Canal Zone. The Governors of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa must nom1 

nate by the Competitive Method in selecting the nominee for their one 

common appointment. 

Candidates are selected for appointment on a strictly compet,hve 

basis from nominees entered ,n the several service-connected cate-
Candidate discussing his qualffications with the Dean of Admissions. 

gor,es. Presidential, Sons of Deceased or Disabled Veterans, Regular 

and Reserve Components, Honor Military and Naval Schools. and 

NROTC. Factors considered ,n evaluating these nominees are the same 

as those discussed in the Competitive Method "whole man" analysis 

used for the evaluation of congressional candidates. There ,s no limit 

on the number of eligible candidates who may compete in the Pres,, 

dential. Sons of Deceased or Disabled Veterans, or Regular and Reserve categories. 

NOMINATING SCHEDULE. A candidate 1s advised to apply early for 

nomination. If seeking a congressional nomination, it is particularly 

important to apply early, preferably dur,ng the spring of the junior 

year in high school. Senators and Representatives may submit the 

names of their nominees any time between 1 July 1969 and 31 Jan• 

uary 1970 for the class entering in June 1970. A maiority of them 

w,11 make their selections for nominations early ,n this period. It is, of 

course, too late to apply once the Congressman has selected his quota 

of nominees. 

In any case, all nominations from all sources must be received by 

31 January 1970 for the class entering ,n June 1970.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION EXAMINATIONS FOR CONGRESSIONAL 

NOMINATIONS. Some Congressmen and other authorized nominators 

utilize competitive examinations of the U.S. Civil Service Commis· 

sion to assist them 1n evaluating and selecting their candidates. These 

special compet1t1ve examinations do not determine the candidate's 

scholastic Qualifications for admission to the Naval Academy. The 

Naval Academy requirements must still be met fully. 

Scholastic Requirements 

A candidate's previous academic record and his performance on speci· 

lied College Entrance Examination Board tests are the factors used to 

determine scholastic qualification for admission. The results of any 

College Board test taken to qualify for the Naval Academy are applica• 

ble to all nominations which a candidate may hold. Acceptable test 

dates are noted on the pages following. 

There are two methods of qualifying scholastically for admission to 

the Naval Academy: the Examination Method and the College Certificate 

Method. These two methods are described on succeeding pages. 

SUBMISSION OF SCHOLASTIC RECORDS. Each candidate is responsible for ensuring the submission of detailed records of his completed 

high school, preparatory school, and college work as well as lists of any 

current or proposed courses. The official college transcript should be 

used for submitting college records. 

Off1c1al forms for submitting high school records will be provided by 

the Navy Department following receipt of the nomination from the 

Member of Congress or other authorized appointment source. These 

certificates should be filled out and submitted to the Naval Academy by 

the school or schools as soon as practicable after receipt. It is important 

lo each candidate that records be supplied promptly and that previous 

school records include academic marks and class standing or estimated 

class standing through the first semester of the final year. In the event 

that class standing for the end of the junior year is the latest available, 

,t will be acceptable. Recommendations from the candidate's high 

school principal, teachers, extracurricular advisers, and coaches should 

be furnished on the forms provided. These records and recommenda• 

lions are considered in con1unction with the College Entrance Examination Board tests in order to establish the relative priority of qualified 

candidates in the various competitive lists and for the purpose of se· 

lection under the qualified alternate law. They must be received not 

later than 15 March, 1970. 

It must be appreciated that, except for qualified congressional principals and qualified sons of Medal of Honor holders (who receive outright appointments), all candidates who have succeeded in qualifying 

scholastically, medically, and physically must be evaluated and arranged in order of precedence. The method utilized by the Academy 

19 
How to Become 

a Midshipman 

to determine the relative merit of these qualified candidates is the 

" whole man" analytical process described previously under the Com• 

petitive Method on page 14. 

Once candidates have been fully evaluated and assigned an appro· 

priate numerical selection score, and their names placed on a master 

list in order of their scores, their relative positions on the list do not 

change. Thus the single master list serves to determine a candidate's 

relative position on any competitive list for which he is eligible. 

ACCEPTABLE SCHOLASTIC RECORD. Each candidate must present an 

acceptable secondary school certificate from an accredited secondary 

school, or its equivalent, including at least 15 units of credit in college· 

preparatory subjects and indicating ability to do college-level work 

successfully. While not an absolute requirement, standing in the top 40 

percent of one's high school class is of great importance in determining 

qualification for admission. (The great n;iajority of midshipmen come 

from the top 20 percent of their high school classes.) Candidates 

should, insofar as is practicable, include as many as possible of the 

following studies in their secondary school programs: 

D At least three years but preferably four years of mathematics, in• 

eluding advanced algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. 

Four years of English. 

D Two years of a foreign language, preferably modern. 

D One year of chemistry. 

D One year of physics. 

It is expected that the secondary school official will recommend 

only those candidates who, in his opinion, have excellent character 

and the scholastic background needed to pursue a difficult collegelevel course in which the emphasis 1s placed on engineering subjects 

as well as the humanities. 

Deficiencies in the secondary school certificate can often be offset 

by offering acceptable college work. Conversely, evidence of inability 

to do acceptable college work can be cause for disqualification. 

EXAMINATION METHOD. The basic method of qualifying is by pre• 

senting an acceptable secondary school certificate and by scoring 

acceptably in the following College Entrance Examination Board tests: 

D Scholastic Aptitude Test (Verbal) 

D Scholastic Aptitude Test (Mathematics) 

D Achievement Test in English Composition 

D Achievement Test in Mathematics, Level I (Standard) or Level II 

(Intensive) 

It is the candidate's responsibility to insure that he takes these 

required tests. No substitutes will be considered in qualifying for en· 

trance to the U.S. Naval Academy. Candidates are encouraged to 

choose the mathematics achievement test on which they feel they can 

attain the higher score. Level I is recommended for candidates without advanced high school mathematics. No additional weight is given 

to the results of the test in Level 11 Mathematics over those in Level I 

Mathematics. 

A candidate must take the tests no later than March 1970. In 1969-

70, the regular College Board testing dates are: 

O Saturday. 1 November 1969 (SAT only) 

O Saturday, 6 December 1969 (SAT and Achievement Tests) 

O Saturday. 10 January I 970 (SAT and Achievement Tests) 

O Saturday, 8 March 1970 (SAT and Achievement Tests) 

Basic qualifying scores in the College Entrance Examination Board 

tests for any class will be determined by the Academic Board of the 

Naval Academy. No candidate will be admitted to the Naval Academy 

unless ,n the opinion of the Academic Board he shows the requisite 

scholastic qualifications. 

Each candidate is responsible for registering with the College En· 

trance Examination Board for the tests. The Naval Academy will credit 

How to Become a candidate with the highest scores achieved in tests taken through 

a Midshipman March 1970. The candidate, however, must insure that the Naval 

Academy receives the results from all tests he has taken. He should 

indicate at the time he registers for the test that he wishes the scores 

furnished to the Naval Academy or, in the event he did not so indicate, 

he should write to the College Entrance Examination Board and request 

that his scores be furnished to the Naval Academy. 

Candidates must pay for their own College Entrance Examination 

Board tests. A candidate who is unable to pay for such tests should 

promptly advise the College Board so that special arrangements may be 

made. 

General information on the tests, including dates of administration, 

location of testing center, dates by which candidates must register, 

method of application. fees, etc .. is published In a booklet entitled 

Bulletin of Information This booklet, published annually by the 

College Board, may be obtained without charge by writing to: 

The College Entrance Examination Board at 

Post Office Box 592 Box 1025 

Princeton, N.J. 08540 or Berkeley, Calif. 94701 

In addition to the above-mentioned Bulletin, the College Board 

publishes two other booklets, one entitled A Description of the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Tests and the other A Description of the 

College Board Achievement Tests. Supplies of these two booklets 

are provided by the College Board to all high schools. Candidates may 
obtain the booklets from their high schools or may write to the Col• 

lege Board for individual copies free of charge. 

For the majority of candidates, the examining points are in the 

communities in which they live. It is expected that few, if any, candidates will have to travel more than 75 miles. 

Duly nominated candidates who have registered for and are unable 

to complete the prescribed College Entrance Examination Board tests 

on or before the 8 March administration because of sickness, injury, 

weather, or other extenuating circumstances should promptly advise 

the Chief of Naval Personnel. 

COLLEGE CERTIFICATE METHOD. A candidate who holds a nomination 

as a Congressional, District of Columbia, or Vice Presidential principal 

or alternate, or who is seeking admission as the son of a Medal of 

Honor winner, may fulfill the scholastic requirements for admission by 

submitting an acceptable secondary school cert1f1cate and an accept· 

able college certificate. He is also required to take the College Entrance 

Examination Board tests specified above for the information of the 

Naval Academy. 

A candidate competing under any source of nomination other than 

those outlined 1n the previous paragraph must qualify by the Examina• 

tion Method; this includes all Congressional candidates nominated by 

the Competitive Method. All candidates planning to use the College 23 

Certificate Method should advise the Dean of Admissions, U.S. Naval 

Academy, of their intent to do so prior to 15 March 1970. 

An acceptable college certificate is one attesting at least one year's 

attendance at an accredited junior college, college, university, or 

technical institution of college grade during which the candidate 

completed courses totaling at least 24 semester hours of credit for 

subjects acceptable to the Naval Academy with grades substantially 

better than the colleg'! minimum passing grade. Six semester hours 

must be in pure mathematics, such as college algebra, trigonometry, 

analytical geometry, calculus, etc., and six semester hours must be in 

English or history, or a combination thereof. The remaining credits 

necessary to complete the certificate may be offered from a wide range 

of college liberal arts or engineering subjects. The overall quality of 

the college record must be acceptable to the Naval Academy. 

The length of college attendance prescribed is defined as requiring 

actual full-time attendance for one regular school year during which the 

candidate pursues courses constituting a normal year's load. 

A candidate who contemplates quahfying by the College Cert1f1cate 

Method, but who has not completed the required year of college at the 

time ol receipt of his nomination, should have his high school record 

and a preliminary college record submitted showing the courses con· 

templated or in progress and the amount of credit in semester hours 

to be assigned for each course. A form for submitting the high school 

... 
How to Become 

a Midshjpman 

record will be provided by the Navy Department. The official transcript 

form of the college should be used for submitting the college record. 

An early review by the Naval Academy of the record of completed 

work and of courses proposed for completion may reveal defects 

which can be corrected by slight changes in the final semester sched• 

ule. Following this review, the Naval Academy will forward a letter suggesting any steps which the candidate should take. If in doubt, a candidate should address a letter to the Dean of Admissions, U.S. Naval 

Academy, Annapolis, Md. 21402. 

QUALIFYING IN PREVIOUS YEAR. Former midshipmen who have successfully completed the first year of the Naval Academy's course need 

not requalify scholastically for admission, but they must demonstrate 

to the satisfaction of the Academic Board that they are qualified for 

readmission. All other former candidates must requalify scholastically 

and medically for the class to which they seek admission. 

Medical Qualification 

Candidates are required to be physically fit, well-formed, and of sound 

constitution. The medical requirements are exacting. thus protecting 

the best interests of the Government, the Navy, and the individual. 

All candidates are encouraged to undergo thorough private medical 

and dental examinations using the special medical examination consid· 

erations set forth herein (see page 27) as a guide in determining their 

medical and dental conditions before pursuing nomination and before 

taking the Qualifying Medical Examination. This will serve to identify 

obviously disqualified applicants as well as those who may have remedial defects. Defects must be corrected at the candidate's expense. 

The candidates who are obviously disqualified will benefit themselves 

and the U.S. Government by not pursuing candidacies further. 

QUALIFYING MEDICAL AND PHYSICAL APTITUDE EXAMINATIONS. 

The Chief of Naval Personnel, Navy Department, Washington, D.C. 

20370, will send an authorization designating the time and place of 

Qualifying Medical Examination to each duly nominated candidate. 

In addition, Members of Congress may arrange physicals for appli· 

cants seeking to qualify for nomination. 

Qualifying Medical Examinations are conducted at more than 200 

authorized Medical Examining Centers of the Army, Navy, and Air 

Force located throughout the United States and overseas. (See page 

31 for a listing of these Centers.) The medical Examinations are 

standardized. and results are accepted by each of the three services, 

regardless of which service has conducted the examination. Examinations are conducted starting on l July of the year preceding admission. 

The Qualifying Medical Examination includes a separate Physical 

Aptitude Examination. The Physical Aptitude Examination varies from 

service to service and may vary from year to year, but basically, for 
Candidates enter from every state 

all services, 1t includes sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, arm-hang, squatwalk, and related exercises. Tests given at Aor Force and Army Examining Centers include evaluation of other areas. Examinations 

conducted by the other services are accepted by the Navy. Candidates 

reporting for examination should take sun glasses for use after eye 

examinations and shorts and athletic supporter for use during the 

Physical Aptitude Examination. 

At Naval Examining Centers, the Physical Aptitude Examination 

is given in conjunction with all Qualifying Medical Examinations. 

It may be necessary to schedule Physical Apt,tude Examinations 

separately for candidates examined at Army and Aor Force Centers 

Candidates ordered to report for medical and Physical Aptitude 

Examinations, who are unable to report at the time scheduled, or 

who are injured or 111, or who, for any reason, are unable to comply 

with instructions to report for Medical and Physical Aptitude Examinations, must communicate with the Chief of Naval Personnel 

and the designated exam,n1ng center to explain the circumstances 

before further examination will be authorized. 

Candidates having orthodontic appliances on place are not required 
How to Become 

a Midshipman 

to have them removed prior to reporting for Qualifying Medical Examination. Candidates who have undergone major surgery involving 

knee, shoulder, or spine will not be scheduled for examination until 

six months have elapsed following surgery. Medical and Physical 

Aptitude Examinations will terminate on 15 March 1970. Injury and 

surgical cases will not be considered thereafter. 

While candidates may be scheduled for Medical and Physical 

Aptitude Examinations at Army, Navy, or Air Force facilities, the 

majority of Naval Academy candidates will be scheduled for examination at Naval medical examining facilities. Condidates are expected to report prior to 7 a.m. on the day of examination except 

as may be otherwise directed 1n reporting orders. Normally, candidates examined at Naval medical examining facilities will be required to spend one day under examination. Candidates ordered to 

Army and Air Force Examining Centers will be required to spend two 

days to complete examinations. 

Candidates are required to pay their own transportation, meals, 

berthing, and related expenses in connection with these examinations. Generally, only one Medical and Physical Aptitude Examination will be authorized for each candidate. 

Qualifying Medical Examinations of candidates for the Academy 

receive prompt review by the Naval Academy's Permanent Board 

of Medical Examiners. Each nominated candidate is notified of the 

finding in his case by the Bureau of Naval Personnel. Candidates 

are advised to notify the Permanent Board at the Academy of any 

subsequent change in their physical condition requiring hospitalization or the service of a physician subsequent to their Qualifying Examination. Candidates reporting to the Academy for appointment as 

midshipmen with disqualifying medical defects will not be enrolled. 

Review and Waiver Procedure 

The results of all medical examinations of candidates for the Naval 

Academy are subject to review by the Permanent Board of Medical 

Examiners, US. Naval Academy. Medical qualification decisions made 

by that Board are final. In this respect, where the disqualifying defect 

is subject to medical or dental correction, the candidate may be 

conditionally rejected subject to later certification by a physician 

or dentist that the defect has been corrected with complete restoration of function. Such certification must reach the Permanent Board 

of Medical Examiners as soon as possible and not later than 15 

March in any case. Final reports of applicants certified by that Board 

will be forwarded to the Chief of Naval Personnel and to the Academic 

Board, U.S. Naval Academy. The Academic Board may grant waiver 

of a very minor defect to a candidate who is outstanding in all other 

respects. 
Since waiver action is predicated upon the overall quality of a 

candidate's record, it is important that transcripts of secondary 

school or college work, the report of extracurricular activities, and 

the required letters of recommendation be submitted as soon as 

possible. In some Instances it will be necessary to delay evaluation 

of a record until results of the March College Board tests have been 

received. It is emphasized that review and waiver procedures are 

automatic for a// candidates who are found not medically quallfied 

because of minor medical defects upon formal Qualifying Medical 

Examination and that queries regarding the status of waiver action 

will only delay fmal determination. Reexamination of those candi· 

dates who fail the medical examination can be approved only by 

the Chief of Naval Personnel. Such reexamination will be authorized 

only m the most unusual instances. 

Special Medical Exa mination Considerations 

The following special medical examination considerations are set 

forth in order that candidates, prospective candidates, and their 

private physicians and dentists may have the basic medical requirements for entrance to the Academy readily available. 

MEDICAL HISTORY. The medical history will be compiled with particular care, with elaboration where indicated. Inquiries will be made 

in detail concerning all illnesses, injuries, and operations which 

candidates may have incurred. Failure to fully document these ,terns 

results 1n disappointment when medical disqualification is determined 

later. A history of familial diseases will be investigated thoroughly. 

If the candidate has received medical care which significantly affects 

his physical condition he will be required to submit evidence from 

attending physicians or from hospital records concerning this medical 

care A candidate who has defects which are remedial, including 

dental defects, should have them corrected prior to taking the Qualifying Medical Examination. 

WEIGHT STANDARDS

· W•iver for height up to 80 Inches may be granted to a limited number of 

candidates with exceptional scholastic and leadership achievements. 

These weight standards are necessarily arbitrary and waiver may 

be granted in unusual cases. For example, when a generally large 

bony structure and large well-distributed and proportioned muscle 

masses with little evidence of thick layers of subcutaneous fat ac• 

27 
How to Become 

a Midshipman 

count for the apparent excessive weight, the Permanent Board of 

Medical Examiners at the Naval Academy may recommend waiver 

consideration to the Academy's Academic Board. When weight is 

under the prescribed standards, if the skeletal structure is relatively 

slight but muscle development and strength are excellent, as manifested by demonstrable performance of physical aptitude tests and 

a history of athletic participation, similar action may be taken. Obesity 

is disqualifying. 

EYES AND VISION: A cycloplegic refraction is required on all candidates. Unaided visual acuity of 20/20 is required. Waivers may 

be granted to a limited number of candidates with exceptional scho• 

lastic and leadership achievements whose vision is no worse than 

the following: 

Either Eye 

20/50 

20/70 

20/100 

Other Eye 

20/40 

20/30 

20/20 

In addition, waivers may be granted to a very few candidates with 

outstanding qualifications whose vision is no worse than 20/100 in 

each eye. In all cases, the visual acuity must correct to 20/20 in each 

eye. 

In the report of examination, the actual vision of each eye and 

the correction lens, 1f required, must be recorded. Excessive refraction 

errors are disqualifying. Both eyes must be free from any disfiguring 

or incapacitating abnormality and from acute or chronic disease. 

Candidates wearing contact lenses will remove them at least 72 

hours prior to reporting for medical examination. Acceptable color 

perception is required. Results of color tests will reflect the name 

of the test, the number of plates correctly read, and the number of 

plates in the test, i.e., 14/17 etc. Use of a Farnsworth Lantern is 

required where available. 

HEART AND VASCULAR SYSTEM: An electrocardiogram is required 

of all candidates. The following conditions may be causes for re1ec· 

tion and require complete medical evaluation: all organic valvular 

diseases of the heart, including those improved by surgery; EKG 

evidence of variations from normal heart beat; hypertension evi• 

denced by predominant blood pressure reading of 140 mm or more 

systolic or 90 mm or more diastolic. The following are causes for 

rejection: vancose veins, if severe or symptomatic; heart rate greater 

than 100 on repeated examinations; substantiated history of rheumatic fever within the previous two years; recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever or evidence of residual cardiac damage; history of recur• 
ring rapid heart beat within the preceding five years (paroxysmal 

tachycardia). 

EARS AND HEARING: Auditory acuity of all candidates will be deter• 

mined by audiometer if available. Whispered voice at 15 feet right 

and left ear is acceptable if audiometric equipment is not available. 

Maximum acceptable hearing loss 1s indicated on the following chart:

NARES: Septa! deviation, hypertrophic rhinitis, or other conditions 

which result in 50 percent or more obstruction of either airway, or 

which interfere with drainage of a sinus on either side. are causes 

for rejection. 29 

SKIN: Chronic skm diseases such as severe acne or eczema or 

unsightly congenital markings are cause for d1squalif1cat1on. Pilonidal 

sinus, 1f evidenced by presence of mass or discharging sinus. is cause 

for rejection. 

SEROLOGIC TESTS: A serologic test for syphilis is performed on all 

candidates. An authentic history of syphilis of any type is cause for 

rejection without further laboratory procedure. 

GENITOURINARY SYSTEM: Persistent or recurrent albuminuria of any 

type or the persistence of casts in the urine will be cause for rejection, 

even though the etiology cannot be determined. Other causes for 

re1ect1on: marked ph1mosis. epispadias or pronounced hypospadias; 

atrophy, deformity, or maldevelopment of both testicles; or an un• 

descended testicle of any degree. Bed wetting persisting mto late 

childhood or early adolescence is cause for rejection. 

NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION. A history of motion sickness (i.e., 

air, sea, swing, train, or carnival ride) should be thoroughly investi· 

gated. A history of head injury m the past five years resulting in 

unconsciousness must be completely evaluated and an electroen• 

cephalogram is required. Evidence of degenerative disorders and 

conditions such as established migraine are causes for rejection. 

ASTHMA: Asthma, or recurrent asthmatic bronchitis by diagnosis or 

history since age l 2. 1s cause for rejection. 
How to Become 

a Midshipman 

ABDOMINAL WALL EXAMINATION: Hernia of any type is disquali• 

fying until corrected; history of operation for hernia within past 60 

days is disqualifying. Other abnormal diseases and conditions which 

are not acceptable Include stomach or small bowel ulcer or history 

of same; acute or chronic gall bladder disease; history of removal 

of spleen for reason other than trauma. 

MISCELLANEOUS MEDICAL FINDINGS THAT ARE DISQUALIFYING: 

Acute communicable diseases; anemia; abnormal bleeding states; 

diabetes mellitus or history of diabetes in both parents; persistent 

sugar on urine regardless of cause; ununited fractures; history of 

surgery to a major joint within past six months; history or derange• 

ment of knee joint not corrected by surgery, or evidence of instability 

subsequent to surgery; total loss of either thumb; tuberculosis, active 

in past five years; hay fever, if severe, or having undergone hyposensi• 

tization therapy for severe hay fever during the three years prior to 

examination; nasal polyps; personality disorders; symptomatic immaturity disorders such as stammering or stuttering; arthritis; and herniated nucleus pulposus or history of operation for this condition. 

DENTAL STANDARDS: A candidate for appointment must have a 

minimum of 16 natural permanent teeth, of which a minimum of 

eight must be in each arch. All missing teeth causing unsightly spaces 

or significantly reducing masticatory or incisal efficiency must be 

replaced by well•designed bridges or partial dentures which are in 

good condition. Except for minor or questionable carious areas, all 

required dental treatment must be completed. Candidates undergoing 

active orthodontic treatment will be temporarily disquahfied. Each 

such applicant will be considered on an individual basis by the 

Permanent Board of Medical Examiners at the Academy. Disqualifying 

defects are as follows: 

D Lack of satisfactory incisal or masticatory function. 

D Less than a minimum of eight natural permanent teeth in each 

arch. 

D Edentulous spaces which are unsightly or which significantly reduce 

masticatory function. 

D Carious teeth, except minor or questionable carious areas. 

D Infectious or chronic diseases of the soft tissue of the oral cavity. 

D Marked malocclusion resulting in severe dentofacial deformity. 

D Unsatisfactory restorations, bridges, or dentures. 

D Severe or extensive apical or periodontal infection. 
• Perforations from the oral cavity into the nasal cavity or maxillary 

sinus. 

D Tumors or cysts of the oral tissues which require treatment or 

may require treatment in the foreseeable future.

How to Become 

a Midshipman 

Progress Reports on Qualifications 

In order to keep candidates informed concerning their qualification 

for admission, the Naval Academy will issue progress reports on 

academic, medical, and physical aptitude qualifications when such 

information is complete. 

Early Notificat ion of Admission 

Candidates who hold principal nominations to the Naval Academy 

will be notified of acceptance as soon as they meet all entrance requirements. Additionally, the most outstanding among other qualified 

candidates may be notified early after completed evaluation and approval by the Academic Board. Candidates must complete the required 

College Entrance Examination Board tests not later than January in 

order to be considered for early notification. 

Entrance Infor mation and Procedures 

Candidates for whom there are vacancies, who have subscribed to the 

"Engagement to Serve," and who have met the scholastic, moral, and 

physical requirements, will receive appointments as midshipmen and 

be admitted to the Naval Academy. 

D Each candidate for midshipman will be required to take the following oath of office upon entrance: 

"I, ........ , having been appointed 

a midshipman in the United States Navy, do solemnly swear (or 

affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United 

States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true 

faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, 

without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I 

will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I 

am about to enter; So Help Me God." 

D He will also be required to subscribe to the following under oath: 

"For and in consideration of the privileges, opportunities, and 

benefits afforded me during the continuance of my service as a 

midshipman, I agree to and with the Superintendent of the United 

States Naval Academy, as follows: 

"First: To enter the service of the Navy of the United States and, 

to the utmost of my power and ability, to be in everything conform• 

able and obedient to the several requirements and lawful commands 

of the officers who may be placed over me. 

"Second: I oblige myself, during such service, to comply with and 

be subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and such other 

laws and regulations as are or shall be established by the Congress 

of the United States or other competent authority. 

"Third: To submit to treatment for the prevention of smallpox, 

typhoid (typhoid prophylaxis), and to such other preventive meas, 

ores as may be considered necessary by naval authonties." 

How to Become 

a Midshipman 

Candidates are usually sworn in as midshipmen on the day they 

are accepted for admission, i.e., the date of reporting to the Naval 

Academy as designated in the authorization to report issued by the 

Bureau of Naval Personnel. Due to limited living accommodations in 

the city of Annapolis, candidates are urged to time their arrival at 

Annapolis to coincide as closely as possible with the reporting date, 

keeping in mind, however, that transportation facillt1es between Wash• 

ington and Baltimore and Annapolis are not unlimited. Those arriving 

in Annapolis a day or two prior to their reporting date may take ad• 

vantage of berthing and messing facilities usually made available in 

the Naval Academy at a cost of $1 per night Add1t1onally, candidates 

may take their meals 1n the Midshipmen's Mess at a cost equal to the 

cost of a midshipman's daily ration allowance. 

D In keeping with the pollcy of the Department of Defense and as 

directed by the Secretary of the Navy, candidates for appointment 

as midshipmen are required to execute a loyalty certificate. The purpose of this certificate 1s to aid 1n determining whether the candidate's 

conduct or associations, past or present, have been such as to cast 

any doubt whatever upon his loyalty to the Government of the United 

States 

The loyalty certificate includes a 11st of those agencies, groups, etc., 

designated by the Attorney General of the United States to be totali• 

tarian, fascist, communist or subversive, or as having adopted a policy 

of advocating or approving the commission of acts of force or violence 

to deny persons their rights under the Constitution of the United 

States 

The admission of conduct or association, past or present, within 

the purview of acts as defined in the certificate, or association with 

any of the groups or organizations designated by the Attorney General, 

shall preclude appointment pending investigation and determination 

of ehg1bility by the Department of the Navy. 

False representation, or failure fully to disclose conduct or associations defined in the certificate, shall constitute grounds for trial before 

a general court-martial with possible subsequent conviction and im· 

pnsonment. or for separation from the naval service under conditions 

other than honorable, with or without any preceding court martial 

procedure. 

D Before being admitted as a midshipman, each candidate must de• 

posit with the midshipmen's storekeeper the sum of $300, to be used 

in part payment to cover cost of uniforms, clothing, etc. In cases of 

extreme hardship this sum may be reduced to $100, in which case 

money allowances for the individual will be reduced until the 1ndi· 

vidual's account reaches prescribed levels. The amount deposited is 

not refunded, but 1s expended for entrance outfit, clothing, uniforms, 

etc., which become the property of the midshipman 
O The pay of the midshipman is $2,059.20 a year, commencing at the 

date of his admission. Its purpose is to permit him to cover his ex• 

penses; i.e., uniforms, books, equipment, laundry, income tax, spend· 

ing money, etc., while at the Naval Academy. 

• The regulation entrance outfit, plus the additional uniforms, clothing, teKtbooks, and expenses required the first year, are valued at ap· 

proximately $1,600. The deposit made at the time of entrance is 

supplemented by an entrance credit of $600 upon first admission to 

1 the Naval Academy. The $600 credit is an interest-free loan advanced 

by the Government to defray the cost of the uniforms and equipment 

required during the first year. Repayment of the indebtedness is 

accomplished by monthly deductions of $20 from the midshipman's 

, pay, beginning 1n October of the second year at the Naval Academy 

1 and continuing until the indebtedness 1s liquidated. Midshipmen who 

are involuntarily separated from the Naval Academy prior to repayment 

of the entrance credit, are required to turn in all articles of uniform 

and equipment deemed surtable for reissue, to an amount sufficient 

to liquidate the indebtedness. If reclaimed articles are insufficient to 

cover the indebtedness, parents will be given an opportunity to liqui· 

dale the remaining debt; failing this. the remainder of the debt is 

canceled. Midshipmen applying for voluntary separation for their own 

convenience are required to repay in full the amount of indebtedness 

prior to such separation. 

0 £very candidate must present his Social Security Card upon report• 

ing for appointment. If an individual has not obtained a Social Security 

number as a result of work experience prior to entering, he should 

obtain one based on the length of expected employment as a midship• 

man. 

0 Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except Foreign Nationals) 

will be required to complete a Statement of Persona/ History. Candi· 

dates should be prepared to furnish such information as: 

Names and locations of all schools attended. 

Family names, dates and places of birth of parents, service data 1f 

parents are or were 1n armed forces, naturalization numbers of parents 

1f applicable. 

Relatives in foreign countries-relationship and location. 

Names and addresses of former employers. 

Names and addresses of three credit and five personal references 

(Credit references may be those of parents.) 

Residences during past 15 years. (Dates, street addresses, and cities 

are required.) 

37 

D Candidates admitted as midshipmen wilt be required to submit 

documentary evidence of birth to the Superintendent, U.S. Naval 

Academy, for transmission to the Bureau of Naval Personnel upon admission, or as soon as practicable thereafter. A certified copy of the 

public record of birth 1s the best evidence. Supporting evidence will be 

required if the name on the evidence of birth is not identical with the 

name being used. 

D Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain from the 

midshipmen's storekeeper a regulation entrance outfit. Slide rules and 

drawing sets are furnished as part of the outfit. Candidates are advised, 

therefore, not to purchase these items prior to entering the Academy. 

• After being admitted to the Naval Academy, midshipmen receive 

travel and transportation allowances as prescribed in Joint Travel Regulations (ordinarily, mileage allowance of 6 cents per mile tor authorized 

travel). The reimbursement will be paid to the midshipmen. Reim· 

bursement will be made for the actual cost of passage fares on com· 

mercial vessels 1f sea travel is involved and provided no Government 

transportation was available. In the event travel originates outside the 

United States, candidates must contact the nearest naval activity for 

information as to the availability of Government transportation before 

endeavoring to procure commercial transportation. When Government 39 transportation is not available, a certifoed statement to this effect must 

be presented in order for the candidate to be reimbursed after he has 

become a midshipman 

• The four-year course of instruction at the Nava/ Academy is de• 

signed for the purpose of educating and training students to become 

officers in the Navy. The word "officers" as used in the foregoing 

sentence means officers of the line and does not include officers of 

the Medical Corps, Dental Corps, etc. The curriculum provides a 

basic education in naval science, science and engineering, and the 

humanities and social sciences. In add1toon, there is opportunity for 

advanced work through validation of college-level courses successfully completed elsewhere, and through a program of elective courses. 

No midshipman can be admitted or readmitted to other than the 

Fourth Class (freshman). Readmitted midshipmen who previously 

completed successfully one or more years of the Naval Academy 

course may request advancement to a higher class after reentry. 

There can be no deviation from the statutory age limits. 

D Graduates of the Naval Academy who meet all requirements are 

commissioned as ensigns in the Navy or (a limited number) as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. While in previous years a few 

Naval Academy graduates have been commissioned 1n the Army and 

the Air Force, 1t 1s now the policy of the Secretary of the Navy that, 

subsequent to the comm1ss,oning of the Class of 1967, no midship· 
How to Become 

a Midshipman 

man will be allowed to transfer to another service upon graduation. 

Their commissions may be revoked at any time during t he first three 

years following graduation from the Naval Academy. On successful 

completion of the probationary period, officers are permanently commissioned. Officers whose commissions are revoked shall be discharged from the service, without severance pay or allowance. 

Service Obligation of Midshipmen 

Enlisted members of the Armed Forces who accept appointments 

as midshipmen at the Naval Academy will not be discharged from 

their enlistment contracts or from their period of obligated service 

while they are ,n the status of midshipmen, except for physical 

disability or because of the acceptance of a commission. (Act of 

25 June 1956, §§ 1-2, reenacted 10 U.S.C. 516.) 

Midshipmen in this category who are separated from the Naval 

Academy, except for one of the two reasons given above, will have 

their appointments as midshipmen terminated and will immediately 

resume their enlisted status. Members so reverted will be required 

to serve out their enlistments or obligated service, unless sooner 

discharged. In computing the unexpired portion of an enlistment 

contract or period of obligated service, the time served as a midshipman shall be counted as time served under such contract or period 

of obligated service. 

Candidates entering the Naval Academy from civil life, who had 

not previously acquired a military obligation, will automatically do 

so upon acceptance of appointment as midshipmen at the United 

States Naval Academy. Under Section 651 of Title 10, United States 

Code, any person who is enlisted, inducted, or appointed In any of 

the Armed Services or their reserve components acquires automatically a six-year military obligation. Section IV. B. 3.f of Department of Defense Directive 1200.3 of 23 May 1958 includes appointees 

to the service academies among those who are subJect to the six-year 

obligation. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

Upon admission, each midshipman who is a citizen of the U.S. will 

be required to sign an agreement, with the consent of his parents or 

guardian if a minor, that he will fulfill these obligations: 

D He will complete the Academy course of instruction (unless he is 

disenrolled from the Academy by competent authority). 

D He will accept an appointment and serve as a commissioned 

officer in the United States Navy or United States Marine Corps for 

at least five years immediately after graduation. 

D If authorized to resign from the Regular component before the 
sixth anniversary of his graduation, he will serve as a commissioned 

officer in the Reserve component until the sixth anniversary. 

Policies Regarding Disenrollment 

He also signs a statement that he understands that the following 

are the policies of the Navy Department regarding disenrollment 

from the Naval Academy: 

Fourth and Third Classmen will be discharged m accordance with 

the regulations of the Navy Department. A resignation tendered by 

a Fourth or Third Classmen (or a resignation tendered by a Second 

Classman prior to the beginning of the Second Class academic year) 

will be accepted when found to be in the best interests of the service. 

J Second and First Classmen. A Second Classman who is separated 

prior to the commencement of the Second Class academic year will 

be discharged in accordance with current regulations of the Navy 

Department. With the commencement of the Second Class academic 

year, a Second or First Classman who is separated prior to completing 

the course of instruction, except for physical disability, unfitness or 

unsuitability, w,11 normally be transferred to the Reserve component 

m an enlisted status and be ordered to active duty for not less than 

two years under the provisions of Title 10, U. S. C. 6959b. Where 41 

separation occurs as a result of deficiencies, which are not considered 

willful, the active duty provision may be waived. 

r Refusal to Accept Commission. Any First Glassman who completes 

the course of instruction and declines to accept an appointment as 

a commissioned officer will be transferred to the Reserve component 

m an appropriate enlisted status and ordered to active duty for four 

years. 

A midshipman who is separated and who entered from the Regular 

or Reserve component of any service will revert to his former status 

under the appropriate statutory provisions. Completion or partial 

completion of a prior service obligation by a separated midshipman 

who entered from this status does not necessarily exempt h,m from 

transfer to a Reserve component and call to active duty in accordance 

with Title 10. use 6959b . 

...., Officers of the Armed Services serve at the pleasure of the President No terminal dates are established for their commissions. 

Foreign Students 

Persons receiving instruction under authority of this law shall receive 

the same pay. allowances, and emoluments, to be paid from the same 

appropriations and. subject to such exceptions as may be determined 

by the Secretary of the Navy, shall be subject to the same rules and 
How to Become 

a Midshipman 

regulations governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, 

discharge, dismissal, and graduation, as midshipmen at the Naval Acad· 

emy appointed from the United States; but such persons shall not be 

entitled to appointment to any office or position in the United States 

Navy by reason of their graduation from the Naval Academy. The 

entrance deposit will be required of all foreign students. Applications 

for appointment under provisions of this law must be addressed 

through diplomatic channels of the applicant's country. Nominations 

must reach the State Department in Washington, D.C., by l January 

1970. 

Each candidate must: 

• Be an unmarried, bona fide male citizen of the nominating country 

and, unless otherwise approved by the Secretary of the Navy, be not 

less than 17 years of age and not yet 22 years of age on 1 July of 

the calendar year in which he enters the Naval Academy. 

• Possess medical qualifications as specified in this pamphlet. All 

candidates must undergo a medical examination and a physical 

aptitude examination by a board of medical examiners designated 

by the Chief of Naval Personnel. Qualifying Medical and Physical 

Aptitude examinations will be conducted by the Permanent Medical 

Examining Board at the United States Naval Academy at the time of 

reporting for admission. Such candidates are therefore urged to 

undergo careful preliminary examination by qualified medical per• 

sonnel informed of the physical requirements set forth elsewhere in 

this pamphlet before leaving their homes for the Naval Academy. Those 

with obviously disqualifying defects may be spared the needless ex· 

pense of the trip to Annapolis. However, in case of reasonable doubt 

as to whether defects are disqualifying, it 1s recommended that the 

telegraphic inquiry be addressed to the Superintendent, U.S. Naval 

Academy, Annapolis, Md., U.S.A. 

D Be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking idiomatic English. 

Candidates may meet scholastic entrance requirements by either of 

the following two methods: 

D Submitting certificates from accredited secondary schools and 

colleges of the United States of America, or 

D Taking the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude 

Test and the Achievement Tests on English Composition and Mathematics, Level I or Level 11. 

Candidates will be given the same examination in English composition as other candidates, but due consideration will be accorded these 

foreign students when evaluating test results. Each candidate shall sub· 

mit a certificate from his government that he is conversant with the 
ltterature of his native country and that he has completed a course in 

the literature of his native language equivalent in general to two years 

of secondary school work in hterature in the United States. In lieu of 

this certification, a candidate may produce evidence of having acquired 

the units of literature from accredited schools of the United States. 

The Naval attache or a diplomatic representative of the United States 

in the candidate's country shall furnish a report as to the candidate's 

proficiency in the use of idiomatic English. 

Governments should submit the names of candidates as early as 

possible in order that they may qualify for entra nee by the end of 

March and enter the Naval Academy in late June or early July, except 

m the cases of candidates attending secondary schools and colleges 

in the United States whose school records for the current year are es• 

sentlal to fulfillment of admission requirements. In such cases candidates may be granted until 25 June in order to permit completion of 

the required certificates. The nomination of the candidates should contain a statement of the method of admission under which he wishes 

to qualify. 

In lieu of the oath of allegiance to the United States, a substitute 

oath will be required, in substance as follows: 

"I , a citizen of 43 

having been appointed a midshipman at the United States Naval 

Academy, do solemnly swear to comply with all regulations for the 

police and discipline of the Naval Academy, and to give my utmost 

efforts to accomplish satisfactorily the required curriculum; do 

swear not to divulge any information of military value which I may 

obtain directly or indirectly 10 consequence of my presence at the 

United States Naval Academy to any alien government; and do agree 

that I shall be withdrawn from the United States Naval Academy If 

deficient in conduct, health, or studies." 

Notification will be given to the governments that students found 

by proper authority to be unsatisfactory in conduct, studies, or health 

will be accorded the same consideration given other midshipmen regarding withdrawal from the Academy or repetition of a year's work. 

Preparatory Scholarsh ips 

The U S. Naval Academy Foundation, Inc., 1s a tax-exempt, nonprofit 

organization which provides an educational assistance program to enable deserving young men, with minor academic deficiencies, to enhance their qualifications for admission to the Nav~I Academy. The 

Foundation is chartered for educational purposes under the laws of 

the State of Maryland. It has no otticial connection with the U.S. Navy 

or with the U.S. Naval Academy 

The Foundation provides a limited number of post-high-school pre· 

paratory scholarships annually to highly motivated and qualofied young 
men seeking admission to the Naval Academy to prepare for a career in 

the Navy or Manne Corps. Cash grants for these scholarships are made 

to specific Junior colleges and preparatory schools In various parts of 

the nation. Parents of young men selected for this program are expected to contribute financially within their capabilities. The Founda• 

tion otters no assistance to individual boys in obtaining appointments. 

Application should be made to the Executive Director, U.S. Naval 

Academy Foundation, Inc., 48 Maryland Avenue, Annapolis. Md. 21401. 

Applications must be received by l April each year. 

Several other preparatory-school scholarships are available to young 

men seeking admission to the Naval Academy. Information concerning 

these scholarships may be obtained from the Chief of Naval Person· 

nel (PERS-G211), Navy Department, Wash., D.C. 20370. 

Naval Academy Preparatory School 

The Naval Academy Preparatory School, located at Baonbndge, Maryland, has prepared servicemen for entry into the Naval Academy for 

over half a century. Up to 350 enlisted men, almost all regular or reserve Navy and Marine Corps personnel, are enrolled at the school 

from September to May each year. The current class is about half 

regular and half reserve. 

44 Applicants meeting basic qual1ficat10ns for entry onto the Naval 

Academy should apply through their commanding otticers in accordance with current service directives. Students are selected competitively 

based on a review of their records, including academic transcripts, the 

recommendations of their commanding officers, and their scores on 

the Naval Academy Preparatory Entrance Examination. 

The Preparatory School otters college-preparatory work in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English. Students with superior back· 

grounds and abilities are able to undertake more-advanced work, in· 

eluding courses at the college freshman level. Military, physical training, and intramural and varsity sports programs complete the school's 

schedule.

The Naval Officer's Career 

A Way of Life 

Inscribed 1n Lat,n above the bronze doors of the Naval Academy Chapel 

,s the motto Not Self, But Country-a motto which the young cand1• 

date embraces the moment he takes the oath as a midshipman and 

which will be a part of his being for the rest of his hie. His education 

at the Academy has been designed for one purpose only: to prepare 

h,m for a hfet,me career as a dedicated professional in the Naval 

Service. After four years of intensive study at Annapolis, he ,s ready 

to assume his respons1biht1es as an officer in the greatest Navy ,n the 

world 

This ,s a complex Navy--0ne whose ships range every ocean, whose 

officers and men not only sail the seas but are also engaged in con• 

struct1on and research from the tropics to the poles, whose supersonic 

planes have provided the trairnng ground for America's first astronauts, 

whose nuclear submarines are a testimony to America's engineering 

genius, whose leaders advise in the highest councils of government, 

and whose Marines stand second to none where tales of valor are told. 

Though a vastly complicated and technological Navy, the human being 

1s, 1n the end, all-important. It 1s an organization which puts a high 

premium on leaders with vision, dedication, and ability, It 1s a Navy 

w,th a proud past and a promising future, broad enough to provide a 

stimulating challenge in a wide spectrum of interesting fields . 

47 
The Naval Officer's Career 

First Duty 

A graduate's first career opportunity comes in his choice of branch 

of service. The priority assigned his individual preference 1s depend• 

ent upon a number of factors, including his class standing, the 

needs of the Navy, and his personal qualifications. Every attempt 

1s made to assign him to the duty and locality of his first choice. 

Whatever his initial operational duty, he will usually find that his 

responsibilities are larger than those of his contemporaries in civilian 

life, Most Naval Academy graduates are commissioned as ensigns 

in the line and are, thus, ultimately headed for command at sea. 

While many go initially to sea in a combatant-type ship--i.e., aircraft 

carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or amph1b1ous shlp--others go immediately 

into aviation, submarine, or nuclear power training, and some go to 

studies leading to advanced degrees. 

A small number are commissioned on graduation in the Civil Engineer Corps, in the Supply Corps, or as Engineering Duty Officers. 

The civil engineer designees, after a short tour in a Public Works or 

Seabee outfit, proceed to graduate studies at a civilian university. 

Supply Corps officers attend a special Navy school of several months' 

duration prior to their first operating assignment. The Engineering 

Duty Officers (specialists in ship design, construction, and repair) 

will normally spend several months aboard ship before returning 

to graduate study. Those commissioned as second lieutenants in 

the Marine Corps are ordered to a course in basic training before 

joining regular Marine units. 

Officer Career Patterns 

Within the framework of the needs of the service. an officer deter· 

mines his own career pattern to a significant degree through his 

requests for assignments afloat and ashore, his advanced studies, 

and, of course, by his performance. Following initial tours at seam surface combatants, some graduates request assignment to aviation, sub• 

marine, or nuclear power training. A small number may apply to serve 

in more specialized fields, and are designated, as were some of their 

classmates at graduation, as Civil Engineer Corps, Supply Corps, or 

Engineering Duty Officers. The careers of many of these specialists 

tend to concentrate in the industrial management field and, to some 

extent, in research and development, and much of their work is with 

the civilian world. 

A line officer finds that tours of operational duty with Fleet com· 

ponents are alternated with assignments to bureaus, offices, and 

activities in the Navy's vast shore establishment. Experience at sea 

is of prime importance to this officer, for it Is at sea that he increases 

his competence as a manner and as a leader. The early years of 

experience at sea form a basis for his career, which will include 
Destroyer wardroom and earner pllots' brietmg 

the opportunity to apply his seagoing experience in the management of 

supporting shore facilities. Assignments are varied and interesting, 

and include not only military command but the opportunity to work 

with the civilian employees of the armed forces as well as with 

members of the other services. In all assignments, individual prefer• 

ence is given careful consideration. 

Officer careers continue along many paths, depending upon ind1· 

vidual experience and background. After his graduate tour, a line 

officer may return to sea as a head of department in a destroyer or 

as commanding officer of a smaller combatant vessel. Aviators may 

expect assignment to an aircraft squadron based in a earner or ashore. 

Officers qualified 1n submarines will continue in duties preparing 

them for submarine command, which comes after about 12 years 

of commissioned service. 

Every officer may expect to serve m assignments in which his 

education and naval training will be most valuable. Many unrestricted 

line officers, whose specialty is naval warfare and command at sea, 

qualify for a subspecialty which they exercise during periods of shore 

duty. These subspecialties include such vaned fields as naval intelligence, oceanography, communications, meteorology, nuclear engineering, and aeronautical engineenng. In addition. officers aspiring 

to command at sea will serve in a variety of ships or aircraft in 51 

different capac1l1es, as well as in staff and planning billets afloat 

and ashore, 1n the United States and overseas. 

It is a satisfying but demanding life. The naval officer presents 

many faces to the world: Fleet Commander, engineer, scientist, dip· 

lomat, and educator. His 1s not just a job, but a way of life--a 

career dedicated to the service of the United States carrying with 1t 

high professional prestige and opportunities for broad experience-a 

career which rewards the industrious, the sincere, the adventurous, 

and the imaginative. The Navy 1s not a career field for those who prefer 

a soft life and who shy away from challenges. It is, rather, one for 

those to whom the homely virtues of a strenuous life, patriotism, 

and ded1cat1on to an ideal have a real meaning which can be translated into a lifetime of service m the Navy of the United States. 

Officer Educat ion and Traini ng 

Upon graduation and commissioning, the new officer may lay his 

books aside momentarily, but his theoretical and practical education 

will continue as long as he 1s in the service. From graduation day 

forward, he will cont,nue to prepare himself for assignments of 

greater responsibility and professional attainment by acquiring prac• 

tical experience ashore and afloat and through advanced academic 

work. The extent of his attainment is limited only by his ab1l1ty, mitia• 

tive, energy, and resourcefulness, commensurate with logical career 

planning,

The Naval Academy is considered but the first step in the educational ladder for the typical officer, and so the Navy sponsors a wide 

variety of graduate programs, at both naval and civilian inst1tut1ons, 

designed to prepare the officer for higher responsibility. This move 

toward graduate education is begun in some cases before graduation, 

when some midshipmen are selected for scholarships in civilian universities or for Navy-sponsored graduate programs. Most notable of 

the scholarships, and one in which Academy graduates have been 

most successful to date, has been the Rhodes scholarship, tenable 

at Oxford University. 

Navy functional and basic technical courses provide the initial postcommissioning training for many officers. Mostly of short duration, 

they are 1n such fields as communications, gunnery, antisubmarine 

warfare, damage control, electronics, and amphibious warfare. 

After the first tour (3 to 6 years) of operational duty with the Fleet. 

many qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to gradu 

ate study for one or more years. Many fields of study are open to them. 

including, but not necessarily restricted to, those of mathematics, 

physics, general science, nuclear and aeronautical engineering, man 

agement, international relations, and naval intelligence. For the best· 

qualified, the way 1s open to a doctorate. Courses are conducted at 

the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif.; the Naval In-
telligence School, Washington, D.C.; the Test Pilot School, Patuxent 

River, Md.; and at various civilian inslttut,ons such as Carnegie Institute of Technology, Harvard, MIT, Pnnceton, Rensselaer, Stanford, 

and Tulane. 

It should be noted that opportun1t1es for graduate work afforded in 

the early years of commissioned service continue throughout an of• 

ficer's career. Senior war colleges, ,n particular, are noted for bringing 

officers up to date on problems of international import and for relating 

these problems to our global strategy. The officer who aspires to 

positions of high responsibility will, of necessity, have to continue to 

grow intellectually and thus be part-student all of his professional life. 

Following is a brief summary of graduate study opportunities offered 

by the Navy. The program summarized is typical of recent years. Addi 

tional opportunities for graduate study are available to highly qualified 

graduates through other Navy-sponsored programs and through Ful• 

bright, Olmstead, Churchill, and Rhodes Scholarship programs and 

through Atomic Energy Commission, National Science Foundation, 

Guggenheim, and other Fellowships. Over 100 members of the Class 

of 1968 were preselected for various graduate study programs.

The Academic Program 

The four-year academic program of the Naval Academy is undergradu- 57 

ate in scope and leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. The awarding 

of the degree to graduates of the Naval Academy is authorized by act 

of Congress. The Academy is accredited by the Middle States Associa• 

tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools. 

The Basic Curriculum 

The curriculum at the U.S Naval Academy has been developed to 

provide each midsh,pcnan with the skills and knowledge necessary tor 

the performance of his duties as a junior officer in the U.S. Navy or 

the U.S. Marine Corps. This 1s the primary goal of the Academy. 

A core curriculum provides him with a broad liberal education in 

mathematics, science, social science and the humanities, and a thor· 

ough background in seamanship, nav1gat1on, engineering, and weap· 

onry. A selection of 23 minors and 23 majors allows him to concentrate his studies in a held of his choice. 

Every midshipman is required to complete the courses in the core 

curriculum (or to validate equivalent college-level work) and to complete one of the minors offered. Through validation and/ or the carry· 

ing of additional courses. midshipmen are able to take advanced 

undergraduate work for the fuller development of individual talents. 

Many earn ma1ors Normally 12-16 semester hours beyond the minor 

make up the major Courses and academic programs. by departments, 

are described on pages 102-189. Over 300 electives are offered.

The Academic 

Program 

The Academic Organization 

Responsibility for direction of the Naval Academy is vested in the Superintendent. This position is held by a flag officer of the Navy. The 

Superintendent is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, who 

is responsible for directing the military and physical training and the 

administration of the Brigade of Midshipmen, and by a civilian Aca· 

demic Dean, who supervises the academic curriculum and standards. 

The Superintendent, the Commandant, the Dean, and other senior 

members of the faculty comprise the Academic Board, which makes 

major academic decisions and sets the academic standards of the 

Academy. There are seven academic departments: Engineering; English, 

History, and Government; Modern Languages; Mathematics: Naval 

Science; and Weapons, each headed by a Navy captain who reports 

directly to the Academic Dean. 

The Faculty 

When Commander Buchanan, first Superintendent of the Naval Acad· 

emy, included three civilian teachers among his seven-man faculty, 

he founded a policy which has borne the test of more than a century. 

Today the Naval Academy faculty, which has grown to more than 600, 

is still an integrated group of officers and civilians in approximately 

equal numbers. The officers, rotated at intervals of about three years, 

provide a continuing input of new ideas and experience from the Fleet. 

The civilians provide a core of professional scholarship and teaching 

experience as well as continuity to the Academy's educational program. 

Well over 100 different colleges and universities in the Americas, 

Western Europe, and the Far East are represented in the backgrounds 

of the Academy's faculty. Most officer faculty members are naval (or 

marine) officers. but all the armed forces and the State Department 

are represented. Foreign officers also serve with the faculty through 

exchange program~. instructing in their native languages and providing 

midshipmen an early insight into the international aspects of naval life. 

Military and civilian members of the faculty are assigned to academic 

departments in accordance with their individual backgrounds and 

talents. For example, the Naval Science and Weapons Departments 

are staffed largely by officers, whereas civilian members of the faculty 

predominate ,n the English, History, and Government Department. and 

,n the Modern Languages Department. 

Members of the Naval Academy faculty participate in local and 

national meetings of educational and professional societies. As scholars 

and researchers they contribute to the advancement of knowledge 

in their disciplines. Their work and research are carried out both at 

home and abroad. This enriched academic background enhances their 

professional qualifications as leaders and as teachers of midshipmen 

A complete listing of Naval Academy faculty, by departments, is 

given on pages 219 through 244 

Civilians provide teaching exper,ence 

The Academic 

Program 

The Schedule of Instruction 

The calendar year for each Naval Academy class is divided ,nto two 

semesters and a summer term. The academic year consists of the first 

and second semesters, each semester generally cons,strng of 16 weeks 

of instruction and a week of examinations. Midshipmen normally carry 

about 18 semester hours of academic courses. The normal academic 

routine provides for 51⁄2 days of recitations, lectures, laboratory peri· 

ods, and drills each week. Academic days are divided into six periods 

of 50 minutes, Monday through Friday, and four periods on Saturday 

morning. During the seventh period in the fall and spring, the Brigade 

participates in military drill on Monday and a dress parade on Wednes· 

day. An evening study period is provided every evening except Saturday. Some periods during the day are also allocated to study. 

The instructional unrt is a section of 12-20 midshipmen. These 

small sections give each midshipman an opportunity to ask questions 

and to take an active part in classroom discussion. A high ratio of 

instructors to students normally makes it possible to assign no more 

than three or four sections to an instructor. Individual attention is 

thus characteristic of education at the Naval Academy. 

Grading 

In September 1963, the Naval Academy converted ,ts traditional 4.0· 

based numerical grading system to the letter-grade system wherein 

individual letter grades of A, B, C, D, and F (A denoting excellent and 

F, failing) are assigned numerical Quality Point Equivalents (QPE) of 

4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, and 0.0, respectively. 

Grades are averaged using a weighted semester hour system called 

a Qualrty Pornt Rating (QPR). The QPR rs computed by multiplying the 
QPE corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the 

semester hours of credit for the course and dividing the sum of these 

products by the total number of semester hours represented by all of 

the courses taken. A semester QPR is computed only for courses 

taken during a given semester. A cumulative QPR is maintained for 

each midshipman. It includes all academic marks assigned to date. 

This grading system is similar to that used by most colleges and 

universities. A cumulative QPR of 2.00 or above is required for gradua• 

tion and commissioning. 

An academic probation system provides warning for midshipmen 

who are not making satisfactory progress toward graduation. If a 

midshipman's cumulative QPR is below 2.0 at the completion of a 

semester, he is placed on academic probation for the following semes• 

ter. Midshipmen are also placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters that their semester QPR is below 

2.0, even though their cumulative QPR remains above 2.0. In addition, 

a special letter of warning serves to alert midshipmen whose mid• 

semester academic records are adjudged not satisfactory. 

It should be noted that grades received in aptitude, conduct, and 

physical education, and for certain professional training conducted 

during the summer, are not included in the computation of QPR. Satisfactory performance is required, however, and grades are assigned 

very significant weight in determining class standing. 

A midshipman may be recommended for discharge by the Academic 

Board for failure of one or more required courses, failure to improve 

sufficiently during a probationary semester, failure to achieve a 

semester QPR of at least 1.5 for any given semester, and failure to 

fulfill probationary· conditions prescribed by the Academic Board. 

On the other end of the grading scale, two honor categories are 

available to midshipmen. The Superintendent's List honors all mid· 

shipmen attaining a minimum ot 75 percent of the maximum multiple 

for the semester (including QPR and grades for aptitude, conduct, and 

physical education). No grade may be below a "C." Additional liberty 

is granted to midshipmen on the Superintendent's List. 

The Dean's List honors midshipmen with a minimum semester 

QPR ot 3.4 and with no failure ("F") in any academic course or other 

area, Including professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and physical 

education. These "star men" may be recognized by the gold stars on 

their lapels. 

The Advanced Placement Program 

Midshipmen may be authorized to omit courses in the core curriculum 

which are substantially the same courses they have satisfactorily 

completed elsewhere before coming to the Naval Academy. This privilege, called "validation," 1s normally granted on the basis of an 

examination given by the department which offers the course for which 

63 
The Academic 

Program 

validation is sought. Previous scholastic records are considered and 

candidates are encouraged to submit results of College Entrance 

Examination Board Advanced Placement Tests as substantiation for 

validation. 

The Minors and Majors Program 

As described under " The Academic Program," all midshipmen are required to take a minor, a selected sequence of six courses (electives) 

in one of the disciplines shown below. The majority of these programs 

may be expanded into a major in the same discipline through the com· 

pletion of additional courses. Minor and major disciplines offered are 

listed below by department .

Each midshipman is assigned a faculty counselor to assist him i n 

selecting his electives and in planning a profitable and acceptable pro• 

gram for his minor and/or major. Midshipmen validatlng previous 

work are able to substitute advanced elective courses toward a selected 

major or field of interest. Superior students may, commensurate with 

their semester QPR, be authorized to carry up to three additional 

courses ("overloads"). 

Midshipmen being certified for a major must satisfactorily complete 
the courses making up the major and must be recommended for the 

major by the appropriate Head of Department. 

Requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree 

In order to complete academic requirements for the Bachelor of Science 

degree a midshipman must complete the courses of the core cu rric• 

ulum (or validate equivalent college-level work), and he must complete 

one of the 23 minors offered. In add1t1on, he must achieve a cumula· 

live Qualrty Point Rating (QPR) of at least 2.0 (a "C" average). 

In addition to meeting academic requirements for the degree, a 

midshipman must meet required standards of performance 1n the 

molttary and professional area, including professional studies, aptitude 

for the service, conduct, and physical education. The degree of Bach• 

elor of Science is conferred by the Superintendent upon recommenda• 

tion of the Commandant and the Academic Dean as approved by the 

Trident Scholars 

The Naval Academy instituted the Trident Scholar program on 1963 on 

order to provide a limited number of exceptionally capable students 

with an opportunity to engage in independent study and research 

during their senior year. Under this program, midshipmen standing 65 

1n the top 10 percent of their class at the end of the first semester 

of their Junior year are invited to submit proposed research projects 

and programs of study for evaluation. Sixteen Scholars were selected 

on 1968. 

Scholars carry a reduced number of courses, and their research 

thesis constitutes the major part of their academic program for the 

year Each Scholar ,s assigned a faculty advisor who is well acquainted 

with the field on which the Scholar ,s working. Travel in connection 

with research is fully supported. 

The program 1s guided by a Trident Scholar Committee, composed 

of faculty members whose primary duty is teaching and who have 

shown a special interest in scholarship and research. The Scholars, 

their advisors, the committee, and invited guests meet periodically 

at formal dinners for reports of progress by the Scholars and for 

critical d1scuss1on. 

Titles of research proiects of the current Scholars are "An Invest, 

gat,on of an Infrasonic Generator"; "Morphology and Kinetics of Pre• 

c1p1tat,on in Ternary Cobalt-Base Alloys", "France and NATO: The 

Development of a Political Policy"; "Construction of a CO, Laser and 

Amplifier System"; "The Reliability of Graphs"; "Stress Raisers in 

Glass-Hulled Deep Submergence Vehicles"; "Application of Babinet's 

Principle to Near·Foeld D1ffract1on of Microwaves Through Complemen·

Barrier", "Investigation of Linac Methods of Photonuclear Florine 

Activation"; "An Expenmental Investigation of Turbulence at the Wall 

of a Pipe"; and 'A Series Truncation Analysis of the Hypersonic Leading Edge Problem." 

Immediate Graduate Programs 

Under the Immediate Graduate Education Program, now in ,ts third 

year, midshipmen who have completed requisite graduate-level studies 

at the Academy as undergraduates may be selected to continue t heir 

studies at graduation to the master's level at participating civilian 

universities or at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. 

Master's degrees are attained in 9-12 months under this accelerated 

program. The initial group of 39 graduates undertook studies in mathematics and in mechanical, naval, and aerospace engineering. The 

second group, 81 graduates from the Class of 1968, were candidates 

for master's degrees in the fields of Economics, Operations Research, 

Management, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Applied 

Science, Electrical Science, Systems Engineering, and Engineering 

Mechanics, as well as in the four fields of t he intial program 

Other graduates proceeding directly to graduate studies each year 

include midshipmen selected for Atomic Energy Commission Awards 

Daedalian Fellowships, Catholic University Fellowships and Churchill, 

Fulbright, Guggenheim, National Science Foundation, Olmstead, and 

Rhodes Scholarships. 

Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference 

Now an eagerly awaited April event, the annual 4•day Naval Academy 

Foreign Affairs Conference has been an unqualified success since the 

initial conference in 1961, when the subJect was "United States 

Foreign Policy ,n Africa and the Middle East." Most recently, in 1968 

when the subject was "Africa and the Middle East," this key and 

complex area ,n world affairs was again the conference focal point 

At these conferences, distinguished civilians, m11ttary leaders, representatives of the U.S. Department of State, and ambassadors and 

other senior foreign diplomats and embassy personnel, join with midshipmen of the Naval Academy's Foreign Relations Club and with 

student representatives from more than 100 colleges and univers,t,es 

in a detailed study of U.S. foreign pohcy in the area selected for 

discussion Keynote speakers are distinguished leaders in their respec· 

t,ve fields. 
A Trident Scholar discusses his research 

Conferees are divided into groups for roundtable d1scuss1on of sub· 

areas. Roundtables are moderated by an adult specialist in the subarea. 

To provide additional background to conferees and to assist them in 

their discussions, conference schedules include addresses in plenary 

session and a panel discussion, all by outstanding figures. In addition, 

ambassadors or other ranking diplomats discuss their country's views 

with each roundtable. 

Resolutions adopted by each are designed to deal effectively 

with U.S. foreign policy problems 1n their subarea. Deliberations 

culminate in a final plenary session in which these individual reso· 

luttons are debated, amended, and adopted. 

Conferences are planned and organized by midshipmen of the Naval 

Academy's Foreign Relations Club under a director from the faculty 

and assisted by members of the faculty of the English, History, and 

Government Department. Financial support is provided by private 

foundations and corporations. 

Invitat ional Debate Tournament 

In February 1969 the Naval Academy Forensic Activity hosted the 

Academy's eleventh annual Invitational Debate Tournament, long considered by many universities as a highlight of their debate year. Sixtyfour of the nation's top debate teams representing every geographical 

region of the country participated in the tournament, debating the 

national topic: "Resolved: The executive control over foreign policy 

should be significantly curtailed."

The Naval Academy Library provides broad support to the academic 

program. In add1t1on to support for the Academy's sc1enttf1cally oriented 

67 
The Academic 

Program 

curriculum, the Library includes strong sections of basic works of 

reference and periodicals and source materials in history and literature 

and In the humanities generally. The Library is especially rich in military source material and has assembled one of the largest collections 

of naval books in the United States. 

Midshipmen make extensive use of the Library for study and research 

and for recreation. Convenient facilities for the use of microfilm and 

other miniaturized textual reproductions for reference are available. 

The Main Library is located in Mahan Hall, with a nearby Annex for 

government documents, periodical holdings, and back files. Also 

nearby, in Isherwood Hall, is the Science-Technology Library. Construction of a new and expanded library has been approved under the 

Academy's current building program. 

The Brigade Library, located adjacent to Bancroft Hall, is a recent 

and handsome addition to Academy library facilities. Open nightly 

until midnight, it contains a selected collection of books and magazines, excellent taping and playback equipment for recorded sound 

and music, and extensive display cases for special exhibits. 

Educational TV 

Educational TV is playing an increasingly vital role in education at 

today's Naval Academy. The Weapons Department has had a pilot 

classroom installation, supported by a departmental TV studio and 

staff, for the past three years. And TV is utilized extensively in experimental classrooms as part of the Academy's broad multi-media educational research program. 

A major step toward early achievement of Academy-wide capability 

was taken during the 1968-69 Academic Year with the opening of a 

Central TV Studio in the new science building, Michelson Hall. This 

studio currently provides a complete range of color and black-andwhite educational TV services to classrooms and laboratories of the 

new science and mathematics buildings. During the next few years, as 

new buildings are completed and old ones rehabilitated under the 

Academy's Master Plan, these TV services will become available in 

buildings, laboratories, and classrooms throughout the Academy. 

The Academic Computing Center 

The Naval Academy's Academic Computing Center is also on the 

move-in classrooms and laboratories, in research for the improvement of Academy instruction through educational technology, and, 

with private industry and the U.S. Department of Education, in the 

development of the nation's most sophisticated multi-media approach 

to the teaching of college-level subjects. 

The Center's general-purpose IBM 1130 and IBM 1620 computer 

systems provide hands-on-time for both midshipmen and faculty. Both 
Main Library steps 
I • • I 

systems are equipped with disc storage to allow for a full range of 

library and utility routines. The primary language is FORTRAN, al• 

though machine language assemblers are avaolable. Computer usage 

ranges from the computation of an assigned classroom problem to 

the support of special research projects of midshipmen and faculty 

or of the Center itself. Expertise and guidance are provided to depart· 

ments and to individual users by personnel assigned to the Center. 

In addition to services within the Center, services from the Center 
and from time-sharing computers in Washington, D.C., are available 

at each of the Academy's academic departments through remote 

terminals. 

Three separate research projects involving the improvement of 

instruction through educational technology are currently well underway at the Naval Academy. The most recent and extensive is a multimedia research effort of national interest, financially supported by 

the U.S. Office of Education. Under this pioneering three-year project, 

the Academy has contracted with industry for the design, development, 

fabrication, installation, and validation of three pilot college-level 

courses using a multi-media approach: General Physics, Economic 

Analysis, and Introduction to Psychology and Leadership. Faculty and 

midshipmen, personnel of the Academic Computing Center, and consultants from industry, higher education, and government are participating. The full media spectrum Is being coordinated: computers, 

programmed instruction, closed-circuit TV, movies, slides, audio, 

written materials, laboratories, lectures, and, of course, computerassisted instruction (CAI). 

A second project under development and evaluation at the Academy 

involves the use of remote teletype terminals by students for computer-assisted instruction. Teletype units, installed in an experimental 

10-man classroom and in a number of other academic areas, are 71 

connected to a time-sharing GE computer m Washington, D.C. This 

Academy-sponsored program is currently limited to science and engi• 

neering materials, both classroom and laboratory, and a relatively 

few midshipmen. Areas under investigation include simulation of real 

systems, reduction and formulation of laboratory data, tutorial in• 

struction, drill and review, and testing. Electrical Science, General 

Physics, Mechanics of Materials, and an Aerodynamics Laboratory 

course are under development. 

A separate multi-media approach to computer-assisted instruction 

is under Investigation by the Naval Academy in a third project employing an IBM 1500 Instructional System. Two experimental classrooms 

are In use, each with 12 remote student terminals. Instructional material is individually presented at each of these time-sharing terminals 

on a cathode ray tube which displays text and simple graphics. A 

keyboard and a light pen provide for student response, while an 

image projector provides for automatic display of reference materials. 

There is also a closed-circuit television receiver at each terminal as 

well as a random-access audio receiver controlled by the 1500 System. 

Approximately 200 midshipmen have received instruction under this 

program to date, the majority on a regular basis during the 1968--69 

Academic year. Courses under development and evaluation by the 

Academy's faculty, assisted by the Computing Center staff, include 

Thermodynamics I, Modern Physics, Basic Russian I, General Chemistry I, Naval Operations Analysis, and linear Systems Analysis. 

The Military and Professional Program 

The Commandant of Midshipmen 

The Commandant of M1dsh1pmen commands the Brigade of Midship· 

men. He develops its character; endeavors to instill the highest ideals 

of duty, honor, and loyalty; provides military indoctrination and physical development; and inculcates midshipmen with the high standards 

of performance required of midshipmen and officers of the Naval 

Service. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Commandant coordi· 

nates the functions of the Executive, Physical Education, Medical, 

Dental, and Midshipmen Supply Departments. 

The Executive Department 

Headed by a senior naval officer, officers of the Executive Department 

work directly with the Brigade. Assigned duties 1n Bancroft Hall as 

battalion, company, and staff officers, they work and live in close 

daily contact with the midshipmen. Here by precept and example, 

the application of sound techniques of leadership, counsel and guid· 

ance, and, when required, corrective or disciplinary action, the mid· 

shipman is measured, molded, and motivated for the day when he 

will join the Fleet as an officer worthy of those who have gone before 

him. 

The Brigade and the Military Program 

The military and professional programs at the Naval Academy set 1t 

apart from most other mst1tut1ons of higher learning. Designed to 

73 
produce naval officers and not just college graduates, the Academy 

has a broader mission. True, a sound education is an essential goal, 

but also essential in the evolutionary process of producing naval 

officers is the development of character, professional knowledge, 

leadershrp abrlity, motivation, moral strength, and physical skills and 

stamina. Thus, challenging and greatly rewarding in many ways, life 

at the Academy is purposeful, disciplined, and milrtary. 

For purposes of military training and administration, the 4,200-man 

Brigade of Mrdshipmen is divided into two regiments, each divided 

into three battalrons. The six battalions are each divided into six 

companies. Midshipmen of all four classes are assigned to each basic 

military unit. The company is the basic unit for numerous competitive 

activities during the year. 

Each of these military units from the Brigade down to the 36 com• 

panies and their subordinate platoons is under the command of a 

First Glassman, assisted by his midshipman staff and assistants. Midshipmen are selected by officers of the Executive Department for these 

commands and staffs in recognition of their leadership and officer-like 

qualitres. 

The Honor Concept 

The ~ ~~:Zt:n":i The Naval Academy Honor Concept is broad and general rather than 

Program specific and detailed in nature. It is predicated on the belref t hat each 

midshipman must, based on guidelines or principles, learn to make 

his own decision about what to do or say in any situation. Honor 

Concept principles are: 

D A midshipman will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will he mrslead or 

decerve anyone as to known facts. A midshipman will be truthful, 

trustworthy, honest and forthright at all times and under all circumstances. 

D Every midshipman is presumed to be honorable at all times and to 

possess moral integrity in the fullest sense and will be treated accordrngly, unless he proves otherwise by his words or actions. 

D A midshipman should neither permit nor accept anything which is 

not just, right, and true. He should do the right thing because it is 

right, not because of fear of punishment. 

The Naval Academy Honor Concept further defines vrolatrons of 

these principles by lying, cheating, stealing, or misleading or deceiving, 

as intentional and deliberate acts. 

The above guidelines should be the basis for a midshipman's con• 

duct in all places and under all conditions, whether official or 

personal in nature. The Honor Concept is therefore an all-pervading 

way of life rather than a set of regulations for which violators will be 

punished. 
Midshipmen watchstanders 

learn under expert supervision 
The Military and Professional 

Program 

In that the Honor Concept is a concept-with broad and general 

guidelines or principles rather than a code of specifics-----an individual 

moral responsibility becomes the personal obligation of every midshipman. Each midshipman, therefore, must know and understand the 

need for the Honor Concept, its principles, and ,ts application. Then, 

,n the situations which he encounters daily, he should, by conscious 

deliberation or by force of habit, make the decisions or take the actions 

that are consistent with Honor Concept principles. 

The Honor Concept is the responsibility of the Brigade of Midshipmen. It is administered through a Midshipmen Honor Organization of 

elected officials from each class who are charged with both Brigade 

indoctrination and the processing of honor violations. Emphasis is on 

indoctrination, with a minimum of one seminar or discussion per 

month conducted by honor representatives in each company utilizing 

a Bngade-w,de outline. However, violators of the Concept, if found 

guilty by the Midshipmen Honor Organization and so reported to the 

Commandant of Midshipmen, may be recommended for separation 

from the Naval Academy. 

A dishonorable act must not be excused because of "classmate or 

unit loyalty." A midshipman observing another in a dishonorable act 

may report the incident to the Midshipmen Honor Organization directly, or he may prefer to reaffirm his observations and gain the 

offender' s viewpoint through personal questioning prior to reporting 

h,m, or choose to caution the offender personally. A midshipman who 

observes an honor offense and does not take any of the above actions, 

has not been dishonorable and committed an honor violation himself, 

but he has failed m his responsibility to the Honor Concept and to the 

Brigade. 

Plebe Indoctrination 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated Midshipmen Fourth 

Class, but are colloquially known as "plebes". In succeeding years 

they become Third Classmen or "youngsters", Second Classmen, and 

finally, ,n their senior year, Midshipmen First Class. 

The new midshipman undergoes an intensive and unabated program 

of military training and indoctrination from his first day at the Academy 

until the end of Plebe Year the following June. Demands upon him 

and his spare time seem never-ending. Known as Plebe lndoctrina· 

tion, each midshipman quickly learns during this period that he is 

subordinate to everyone, under close scrutiny and guidance continually, 

and subJect to many forms of correction and pressure, both mental 

and physical. Plebe Indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of 

the First Class, assisted by the Second Class, and closely supervised 

by the Commandant and the officers of the Executive Department. 

Although some form of military training 1s found at many American 
colleges and un1versit1es, the rigorous challenges of a plebe indoctrination system are unique to the Service Academies. Complementing 

other phases of midshipmen tra1rnng and education, the system 

directly supports the Naval Academy's mission by developing leader· 

ship abilities and a basic understanding of military relationships and 

the military environment. Its aim is to teach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Etfect,vely organize his time and effort, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment. 

Exh1b1t an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe Year Is tough! It 1s a deliberate period of testing, requiring 

a midshipman to stand on his own two feet, to produce under pres• 

sure, to respond promptly and intelligently to orders and, ftnally, 

to measure up to the highest standards of character, honor, and 

morality 

There are many aspects to Plebe Indoctrination Plebes must main·

double-tome at all tomes when in the confines of Bancroft Hall, and 

are responsible for being ready to answer a wide variety of profes• 

sional questions during meals. Questioning is conducted by members 

of the two senior classes. A plebe is last to serve himself in the mess• 

hall, may not use certain stairways, walks, and areas of the Academy, 

and, in general, has far fewer privileges than other midshipmen. 

For minor infractions of discipline, deficiencies in personal appear• 

ance or performance, a plebe may be required to report to his squad 

leader's room prior to meal formations to receive constructive cor· 

rection. If the plebe does not respond to this form of correction, his 

case may be referred to a Company Performance Evaluation Board 

which may assign punishment or take other appropriate action. 

Following March spring leave, the Midshipman Brigade Commander 

may declare an early end to Plebe Indoctrination when, in hos judgment. members of the Fourth Class have met the test and thus 

demonstrated that they are fully ready to be accepted as members 

of the Brigade. Although apploed, generally, to the entire Fourth Class, 

ind,vodual members of the class who have not fully measured up may 

be required by their company commander to continue under 1ndoctrinat1on through June Week. the official end of Plebe Year. 

Weekly Routine 

The weekly routine for a midshipman gets off to a rousing Monday· 

morning start with 6:15 reveille. Thirty minutes later, shaven and 

smartly dressed, he is undergoing his first inspection of the day at 

breakfast formation. After breakfast he straightens up his room and 

gets ready for his 7:55 class, beginning a day of rec1tat1ons, drills. 

laboratory work, recreation, and study. 

Morning classes end at 11:45 and the m,dsh,pman gets ready for 

noon meal formation, a da,ly milrtary h1ghloght. Shoes are sparkling, 

gold is shining, and uniforms are brushed and smartly pressed 

Following lunch and a few moments of relaxation or last-minute 

study on hos room, the midshipman departs for his 1:15 class. Classes 

end for the day at 3:05. Shortly thereafter uniforms have disappeared. 

and a frenzy of activity seems to erupt simultaneously at athletic 

foelds, gymnasiums and other indoor athlet,c fac1lotoes, on nearby 

waters of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay, and at extracurricular 

facilities ..• literally at every point of the compass. Easily the best 

part of the day for most m1dsh1pmen, this act1v1ty ,s ended too quickly 

by the 6:30 evening meal format,on. 

Following the evening meal and a broef perood for relaxation, studies 

resume for the remainder of the evening. Taps sounds at 10 p.m 

durong the week. but studies may cont,nue for lom1ted periods until 

' loghts out" Infantry drills and dress parades are held on Monday and 
You can't do it all the frrst day 

Wednesday afternoons during fall and spring. Thus go Monday through 

Friday, a lot of fun and a lot of work. 

Saturday morning classes are followed by noon formation, accom• 

panied by a rigorous inspection marking the end of the academic 

week. All midshipmen have liberty ,n Annapolis on Saturday afternoon, 

but many prefer to watch or participate in athletics, to sail, or to enjoy 

other recreational act1vit1es. 

M1dsh1pmen First, Second, and Third Class also have liberty in 

Annapohs on Saturday evening. Some midshipmen attend the 

movie in Mahan Hall (upperclassmen may bring dates). Many upper• 

classmen attend the scheduled "hop" or dance. Hops vary from 

formal during such times as June Week, Homecoming weekend, and 

Christmas, to informal. Music is provided by the Academy's U.S. Navy 

Band and, on less formal occasions, by midshipman bands. 

Midshipmen attend church services on Sunday morning, either ,n 

the Naval Academy Chapel or the church of their choice in Annapolis. 

Sunday afternoon offers more liberty in Annapolis for the three senior 

classes. In addition, there is another movie in Mahan Hall. Again, 

upper classes may attend with their dates. Midshipmen are free to 

show guests around the Naval Academy and are frequently found es• 

cort1ng family, friends, or best girl. 

The Development of Lead ers 

Leadership is both an art and a science. There is no doubt that some 

men have more flair for leadership than others. At the same time, the 

basic principles of good leadership are well known and long established. 

Thus, properly instructed and trained, every man can become a more 

79 

effective leader. The four years at the Academy provide each midshipman with the basic knowledge, guidance, motivation, and experience 

to become an effective leader. It all starts the first day .. 

PLEBE YEAR. The first day of Plebe Summer is one that most midshipmen remember for many years. This is not surprising. In one short 

day civilians have become midshipmen. They are given haircuts, issued 

uniforms, taught the basics of marching, and eat their first meal in the 

4,200-seat midshipmen's messhall. Their military indoctrination has 

gotten off to a running start. But they are too busy to worry about it. 

Civilian ways and days soon seem far behind. 

As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate 

basic skills in seamanship, navigation, and gunnery. Infantry drill, firing 

an M-1 rifle under the supervision of U.S. Marines, sailing navy yawls, 

and cruising in yard patrol craft make the midshipman a proudly 

versatile young man. Spirit and a desire to win are developed through 

competition in a wide range of activities, including boxing, dress 

parades, seamanship, and talent shows. 

Plebe Summer is completed in late August with Parents' Weekend, 

at which time parents of the new midshipmen have the opportunity 

to visit the Academy and observe their sons' progress. A dress parade 

"officered" by the new plebes, exhibitions in sports, and the opportunity to go sailing with their sons go far to assure parents that their 

sons are takins their new life as midshipmen in stride. 

September arrives. Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, 

leaves, and other summer activities. The academic year gets underway. 

A long four years of study, hard study, lie ahead. Plebe Summer is 

over, but plebe indoctrination continues. 

September also brings the excitement of football and other fall 

sports. During the football season, selected units of the Brigade travel 

to away games. The entire Brigade goes to home games, and to 

the Academy's favorite, the season-ending Army-Navy game in 

Philadelphia. 

Christmas brings a two-week leave. Leave provides the first chance 

plebes have had to visit their homes since entry In June, as well as 

a welcome break in the academic routine for all midshipmen. Classes 

resume In early January, followed by semester-ending examinations late 

In the month. This is followed by a three-day period of leave and the 

start of the second semester. A final three days of leave break the 

academic routine during the spring. 

The approaching end of Plebe Year brings mixed emotions. A feeling 

of relief that it is almost over is surely one. At the same time there are 

well-deserved feelings of confidence and pride that the test has not 

proven too great. Mystery Is turning to mastery. 

Graduation is at one time both the high point and the ending of 

June Week. It Is also the time decreed by tradition that the plebes must 

81 
The end of Plebe Year 

place a cap on the very top of the tall polished marble spire of the 

Herndon Monument. This they do with a vengeance. The resulting 

spirited once-a-year activity at the monument provides a memorable 

sight for startled spectators. 

THIRD CLASS YEAR. With the placing of the cap, the intensive first 

year of indoctrination is ended, and the new Third Classmen get 

ready to depart on two months of at-sea training with the Fleet, accompanied by midshipmen of the First Class. Sea training is followed 

by 30 days of well-earned leave. 

The sea training introduces the midshipman to life at sea in the 

Navy. He comes to know and respect the Navy's enlisted men upon 

whom he will later depend as an officer. He serves in many capacities 

and actively participates in a wide range of shipboard evolutions. 
He stands deck, gunnery, operations, and engineering watches, operates ship's boats, and exercises at general shipboard drills. He com· 

pletes the ··Functional Training log" and the "Training Syllabus" for 

Third Classmen. 

With the completion of at-sea training and summer leave, Third 

Classmen return to the Academy and begin their second academic 

year. Military, a Third Classman finds himself somewhat in between. 

He is too senior to be subject to Plebe Indoctrination and too junior 

to assist. Thus, although the new year brings him more responsibilities 

in infantry drills and in watch standing, the lessened emphasis on 

indoctrination leaves him more time for sports and other extracurricular activities. It's a welcome change. 

Following the completion of academic study for Third Class Year, and 

their second June Week, the Third Classmen become Second Class• 

men and begin an Interesting summer of professional studies, training 

and indoctrination, and 30 days of leave. 

SECOND CLASS YEAR. During a fast-moving summer, the Class undertakes professional studies at the Academy, completes operational 

familiarization and flight instruction in naval training aircraft at naval 

air stations in Florida, and receives introductory submarine training 

at the Navy's submarine base in New London, Connecticut. Thirty days 83 

of summer leave provide a welcome change of pace. Summer training 

ends with amphibious training at the Atlantic Fleet's Amphibious Base 

at Little Creek (Norfolk) Virginia. 

As the Second Class midshipmen return to the Academy to begin 

their third academic year, still more military responsibilities are 

realized. Second Class Midshipmen officers are selected and trained 

to direct the Brigade during periodic absences of the First Class. They 

are assigned more-demanding watches. An important role in the indoctrination of the new Fourth Class is undertaken by the Second 

Class. In addition to contributing to the development of the Fourth 

Classmen, this responsibility makes a vital contribution to the Second 

Classman's growth as a leader. There is little time for watching the 

calendar. And, before long, another June Week has come and passed 

and First Class Year Is underway. 

FIRST CLASS YEAR. During his last summer as a midshipman, the 

new midshipmen First Class again participates in at-sea training. 

He stands the watches and performs the duties of a young naval 

officer and Is exposed to the social courtesies, amenities, and customs 

of wardroom life aboard ship. Work in navigation, watchstanding on 

the bridge, In Combat Information Center, and In the engineering 

spaces, and lectures and studies provide the background used to 

complete his "Functional Training Log" and "Training Syllabus" for 

First Classmen. 
The Military and 

Professional 

Program 

Normally, midshipmen train at-sea in foreign waters and thus are 

able to enjoy visits to a number of foreign ports. In 1968, training 

units visited such places as Japan, Hong Kong, and Hawaii in the 

Pacific, Rio de Janeiro in South America, Naples, Athens, and Gibraltar 

In the Mediterranean, and Oslo, Portsmouth, Stockholm, Copenhagen, 

Hamburg, and Kiel in Northern Europe. 

The important responsibility assigned the First Class for directing 

the Brigade has been noted. Midshipmen officers lead the Brigade in 

parades, ceremonies, and at daily formations. They are responsible 

for the conduct, military smartness, and competitive records of their 

units. They are in charge of the midshipman watch organization in 

Bancroft Hall. Selection of three sets of midshipman officers during 

the year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable leader• 

ship experience. The third or final set of "strlpers" is selected by the 

Commandant from the most capable midshipmen in the first two. 

In attempting to carry out these demanding responsibilities, the 

First Class midshipman finds himself calling upon all the indoctrina• 

tion and leadership principles he has accumulated during his first 

three years. Thus, following this final year of practical experience, 

graduation finds him well-prepared to assume his leadership responsi· 

bihties in the Fleet as a newly commissioned officer. 

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academy's professional training program. 

Designed to provide graduates with a sound foundation in the funda• 

mental, specialized knowledge and skills reqmred of a professional 

naval officer, the program encompasses a wide range of professional 

instruction, training, and drills. 

Over 2,000 hours of Instruction are devoted to providing this founda· 

tion during a midshipman's four years at the Academy. The profes· 
sional training program is closely monitored, and a midshipman's 

performance contributes very significantly to his class standing at 

graduation. 

Included in the program are formal courses of instruction, practical training, physical education, lectures, and a variety of evolutions 

and drills in which the midshipmen "learn by doing." Progressing S5 

from basic military and naval knowledge to the presentation of more 

advanced information and concepts, the program supports and complements both the military life within the Brigade and the professionally 

oriented academic courses. Thus, the Academy's professional program 

makes a vital contribution to the development of graduates with sound 

potential for future growth in the naval profession. A description of 

the courses, drills, and training making up the professional program 

besins on page 191. 

Leave and Privileges 

The amount of personal freedom and privilege granted a midshipman 

varies directly with his seniority and the degree of his authority and 

responsibility. A First Ciassman will not only have more responsibility 

In the administration of the Brigade but also more privileges. Mid· 

shipmen proficient in academic work and military aptitude also are 

rewarded with extra privileges. 

There are several regular periods of leave of absence from the 

Academy during the year. These include Christmas leave, a period 

of about two weeks; end-of-term leave, a three-day break at the end 

of the first term in January; spring leave, a period of three days, 

usually In late March; and the month-long summer leave for the three 

upper classes. 

In addition to leave of absence, midshipmen are granted liberty 

in the Annapolis area. Like all other privileges the amount varies with 

seniority and responsibility. Fourth Classmen are granted liberty on 

Saturday afternoons and dining-out privileges with relatives and close 

friends on Saturdays and Sundays. They are permitted to escort young 

ladies on three occasions and during June Week. 

First, Second, and Third Class have liberty on Saturday afternoon 

and evening, and on Sunday afternoons. In addition, Second Class rate 

liberty on Wednesday afternoons and First Class rate liberty Friday 

evenings plus every afternoon. Weekday ii berties begin after classes 

are completed for the day. 

Limited numbers of weekend liberties are granted to upperclassmen. 

MIdsh1pmen Third Class may take one weekend of leave each semes1 ter, Second Class midshipmen receive two each semester, and First 

Class receive four each semester. Additional weekends may be granted 

to midshipmen for noteworthy academic or other achievement. 

Physical Education 

In supporting the mission of the Naval Academy, the program of the 

Physical Education Department makes a vital contribution to the 

phys,cal development of midshipmen. The program continues throughout the four years. All midshipmen participate. 

The program·s aims for each midshipman are to develop skill, 8? 

strength, confidence, teamwork, endurance, agility, and competitive 

spirit; to develop useful habits of physical fitness; to develop the 

capability to train and instruct others; and to develop the knowledge 

and capability to withstand physical hardship. Equally important, the 

program aims to be enjoyable, to provide a "release" from the academic routine, to develop a lasting appreciation for sports in general, 

and to develop individual skills in •·carryover" sports for enjoyment 

after graduation. 

Things get off to a fast start Plebe Summer. Preliminary testing of 

posture, swimming capability, and general athletic ability is followed 

by instruction and indoctrination drills in boxing, wrestling, lacrosse, 

fencing, soccer, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash rackets, volleyball, and track. 

The pace continues during the first academic year. More-advanced 

instruction is given in badminton, soccer. swimming. boxing, wrestling. 

gymnastics, golf, tennis, and volleyball. In addition, midshipmen are 

introduced to basketball, handball, and bowling, and are tested in 

applied strength. ag11tty, swimming, boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics. 

The final three years follow up basic instruction and physical tests 

of the first year with increasingly advanced instruction and more• 

demanding tests. Personal conditioning, athletic administration, and 

hand-to-hand combat are added to the area of instruction. For a more 

detailed description of the Physical Education Department, ,ts mission 

and facilities. see page 196. 

Medical and Dental Care 

The finest medical and dental care Is provided midshipmen by the 

Navy. Facilities 1n Bancroft Hall are e,ctensive and up-to-date. Daily 

sick calls and periodic physical and dental examinations help keep 

the Brigade m excellent health. If hosp,talization is necessary, there 

are the more-complete facilities of the U.S. Naval Hospital located at 

the Academy as well as those of the nearby U.S. Naval Hospital at the 

world-famous National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. 

Legal Assistance 

Midshipmen are provided professional legal advice and assistance for 

problems of a personal nature by the legal Assistance Officer in his 

individual capacity as a lawyer. The Legal Assistance Office is located 

in the Administration Building. 

Banc roft Hall 

All of the basic facilities needed for daily Jiving and many for recreation 

are found 1n Bancroft Hall. Press shops provide rapid service on 

m1dsh1pman uniforms which the tailor shops keep fitted and repaired. 

Barber shops manage nearly 4,000 haircuts every week. The Midship· 

men's Store provides daily necessities and the place to buy an occa- 89 

sional gift. There are Chaplains' offices with small adjoining Protestant 

and Catholic Chapels. 

The entire Brigade dines together in the spacious and modern midshipmen's mess hall. Here, midshipmen demonstrate their enthusiasm 

for the appetizing, freshly prepared meals by taking a 4OOO-calorie 

daily diet in stride. 

laundry and drycleaning services are provided. There is a cobbler 

shop, a post office, a library, an assembly hall, a bookstore, and the

Religious Activities 

It is no mere coincidence that the beautiful dome of the Chapel at 91 

the U.S. Naval Academy rises above, and dominates, all other buildings in the Yard. Nor is it by chance that the Chapel was placed 

centrally in planning the buildings as they now stand. This is fitting, 

since our country was founded on religious principles, cherished by 

all faiths, which are the foundations of our ideals of freedom and 

responsibility. 

The present Chapel was completed in 1908. An addition was dedi· 

cated in 1940, increasing the seating capacity to 2,500 and changing 

the basic design of the Chapel from that of the Greek Cross to that of 

the Roman Cross. The much smaller St. Andrew's Chapel is located 

directly beneath the Main Chapel. 

Because we are "one nation, under God," it is most appropriate 

that the midshipmen who will some day become the leaders of our 

Navy should regularly attend Divine Worship Services. Thus, all mid· 

shipmen of the Roman Catholic faith attend Mass in the Chapel. Mid• 

shipmen of the various Protestant denominations attend the Protestant 

Chapel Service or the church of their choice in the city of Annapolis. 

The Protestant Service features an outstanding guest preacher each 

month. Midshipmen of the Jewish and Greek Orthodox faiths attend 

synagogue or church 1n Annapolis. 

During the half hour preceding the 10:30 Morning Worship, the 

Naval Academy Band gives a concert in front of the Chapel. As time for 

services draws near, the Brigade of M1dsh1pmen marches to Chapel to 

the music of the band, to be greeted and reviewed by the Superintend· 

ent and his official party on the Chapel steps. 
The services, both Catholic and Protestant, are enhanced by the 

stately beauty of the Chapel. The Protestant worship service 1s inter· 

denom1nat1onal, having gradually evolved from the time of the Acad• 

emy's founding into ,ts present form. Both services begin with the 

parading of the Ensign and the Brigade Flag to the altar where they are 

dipped to the Cross. signifying our allegiance to God. This 1s followed 

by the choir marching to the chancel 

In the Protestant service, the Chapel Choir ,s Joined by the An· 

t1phonal Choir in the balcony. These combined choirs number approx,-

mately 300 midshipmen. The prayers. responses, and creeds are those 

used by Christians through the ages, but there are special Naval and 

Naval Academy prayers including the following Midshipmen's Prayer: 
Almighty Father. whose way is in the sea, whose paths are 

in the great waters. whose command is over all and whose 

love never faileth: Let me be aware of Thy presence and 

obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding 

me against dishonesty in purpose and in deed, and helping 

me so to live that I can stand unashamed and unafraid before 

my shipmates, my loved ones, and Thee. Protect those in 

whose love I live. Give me the will to do the work of a man 

and to accept my share of responsibilities with a strong heart 

and a cheerful mind. Make me considerate of those intrusted 

to my leadership and faithful to the duties my Country has 

intrusted in me. let my uniform remind me daily of the traditions of the Service of which I am a part. If I am inclined to 

doubt, steady my faith; ,t I am tempted, make me strong to 

resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. 

Guide me with the light of truth and keep before me the life 

of Him by whose example and help I trust to obtain the answer to my prayer, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Sunday Catholic Mass 1s said in the Main Chapel at 8 a.m., with 

High Mass on the first Sunday of every month. A choir of approxi· 

mately 150 midshipmen sings at the Sunday Mass. 93 

Protestant Holy Communion services are held periodically during 

the week at 6:20 a.m. and on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. in St. Andrew's 

Chapel. At 5 p.m. on Sunday evening, a brief informal service is conducted with midshipmen participating. The Naval Academy Christian 

Association meets on the first and third Sunday evenings of the month 

in Bancroft Hall. Lectures by prominent figures m the world of sports, 

the arts, politics, and business are followed by discussions. A Bible 

discussion group meets weekly and there is a Sunday school for children of civilian and m1htary personnel taught by midshipmen. At Christ· 

mas time the Protestant Choir is joined by the Hood College Girls' Choir 

and professional soloists in presenting Handel's "Messiah.'' A Chapel 

Fine Arts Series offers outstanding concerts and stage productions. 

For Catholic midshipmen, Mass is said dally in Bancroft Hall, Mon• 

day through Saturday. Confessions are heard daily before Mass and on 

Saturday afternoon and evening. The Newman Club meets on the second and fourth Sundays to discuss various dogmas of faith and aspects 

or the Church in the modern world Guest speakers are featured An 

annual Lay Retreat is sponsored by the Club. 

Protestant and Catholic services are held each Sunday at the Naval 

Academy Hospital, and patients are visited periodically. 

Chaplains are always available for counseling at their offices 1n the 

Chapel and in Bancroft Hall. They welcome the opportunity to meet 

with parents and join them in the hope that the faith of their sons 

will grow and flourish during their years at the Naval Academy.

Mission 

The n11ss1on of the Engineering Department is to provide midshipmen 

with a course of study designed to give them an understanding of 

basic engineering concepts. to teach them to approach problems in 

an orderly and analytical manner. and to develop naval officers who 

will use this knowledge as a b3s1s for sound professional judgment 

and decisions. The Department provides the theoretical and practical 

engineering knowledge requ1red of all midshipmen to pursue a successful naval career as well as the opportunity for interested midshipmen 

to undertake additional studies in depth in the fields of Aerospace. 

Mechanical. and Naval Engrneering. Four core courses and 43 elective 

courses are offered. Professional applications of engineering are 

stressed during summer at-sea training with the Fleet. 
Facilities 

Teaching facilities. other than standard classrooms, include several 

special-purpose rooms. Four design rooms are used for drawing and 

design courses. Eight lecture rooms, seating from 30 to 200 men 

each, have a total capacity of 680. A computer-aided instruction 

room with 10 remote terminals provides time-sharing with computer 

facilities 1n Washington, D.C. Model rooms displaying cutaways of 

current Navy ships and aircraft, include cutaways of power plants, 

engines, and equipment. Models of ships and power plants of historical 

interest are also featured. 
Aerospace Engineering Facilities. The 14 elective courses offered by 

the Department's Aerospace Engineering Division are supported by the 

following laboratory facilities: 

SUBSONIC WIND TUNNELS. Two subsonic closed-circuit wind tunnels

A subsonic turbulence wind tunnel, producing either a uniform flow 

of air or a specified level of turbulence in its test section, provides in· 

Engineering sight into the nature and origin of non-uniform flows. In addition. a 

variable Mach number supersonic wind tunnel, of the blow-down or 

periodic type, is available for the study of supersonic flow. The Mach 

number of this one-inch tunnel can be varied from 1.5 to 4.0. Pressure 

measurements and Schlieren photographs allow the student to calculate basic flow parameters and to visualize shock patterns. A large 

supersonic wind tunnel, operating continuously with a single-stage 

ejector drive, is used for demonstrations and for research on con· 

densing or reacting gases. 

A small helium tunnel driven by a five-stage ejector system provides 

for the study of hypersonic flows, extending the range of experimental 

coverage in the laboratory from Mach 4 to a Mach number of about 10. 

In the area of non-steady flows. a one-inch by three-inch shock tube 

is available. Shock interactions on surfaces, such as those produced 

by an explosion, can be studied using this apparatus with optical 

observations.

forms, transformation, and evaluation of energy. It embraces a wide field. This 

course is concerned wilh the engineering aspects of this general subject, only, 

and wfll provide the fundamental background for the processes that take place 

in naval power plants, internal combustion engines, refrigeration plants, compressors. nozzles and turbines, air conditioning equipment and heat transfer 

devices. Naval Apptlcatlons. Thermodynamics 1s so fundamental a science that 

1t encompasses operating principles of past, present, and projected naval equipment. The gas turbine, ram jet, space rocket, and nuclear power plant are all 

within the structure of present thermodynam,c theory. Knowledge acquired in 

this course will enable naval officers to analyze existing equipment intelligently, 

to crittcally examine new proposals, and to understand the thermodynamic llmi• 

tations imposed by nature on equipment. This analysis opportunity is presented 

for the student in a case problem as part of the next sequential course, £314, 

Elements of Fluid Mechamcs, where boilers, turbines, turbogenerators, condensers and heat exchangers, air ejectors, deaerating feed tanks, and pumps 

are analyzed as elements of a naval ship propulsion system. Prereq: General 

Physics and M2 l S or equivalent 

E314 ELEMENTS OF FLUID MECHANICS. Four Sem Hrs (3-2). The first half 

of the course treats the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics. Continuity 

and the equations of motion and momentum are covered. The second half of 

the course consists of a Case Problem which applies both thermodynamics and 

fluid mechanics to the preliminary design analysis of a naval turbine propul• 

s1on plant. Laboratory exercises supplement the course material. Naval Appli· 

cat,ons: As a means of bridging the gap between theory and practical application, a Case Problem considers the basic steam power plant of a naval vessel.

Mission 

The mission of the English, History, and Government Department is to 

educate the midshipman as a discriminating individual with an under· 

standing of history, government, economics, and literature, and to 

develop in him a mature ability to read with comprehension and appre• 

ciation, to write with clarity and style, and to speak with conviction and 

poise. In support of this mission, the Department offers some 60 

electives in addition to the 24 semester hours of core courses required 

of every midshipman. 

Facilities 

The English, History, and Government Department occupies Maury 

Hall adjacent to the Naval Academy Library. In addition to t he usual 

recitation rooms, there are rooms with motion-picture, slide, microfilm, and tape-recording equipment to give midshipmen an opportunity 

to view events of historical and educational note and hear readings of 

great literature. There are also nearby auditoriums available for pres• 

entations to large groups.

Mission 

The mission of the Mathematics Department is threefold, namely, 

(l) to teach mathematics as a basic science, (2) to provide midshipmen with a knowledge of fundamental mathematical concepts, and 

(3) to develop a facility for the use of mathematics in solving practical problems arising in other departments. The basic and elective 

courses are planned in such a manner as to be of the greatest possible assistance to the midshipmen in their work throughout the 

professional departments. Development of an analytic approach to 

problems and an understanding of basic principles involved is 

stressed throughout the courses taught. In addition to the required 

core courses, there are 24 elective courses offered.

Mission 

The Modern Languages Department provides opportunities for mid· 

shipmen to develop proficiency on any of seven languages. and to 

gain significant knowledge of the related foreign areas, peoples, and 

cultures. 

Facllltles 

The Department is equipped with a tape-recording studio, high-speed 

tape duplicators. extensive tape libraries, and language laboratory 

facilities. Tapes for all lessons in the basic and intermediate courses 

are supplied to midshipmen. and some 900 tape recorder-playback 

units are loaned for use in individual midshipmen's rooms in Bancroft 

Hall. 

A variety of tape-recorded material is also available for class or 

individual use in advanced elective courses. Visual aids, such as 

sound motion picture hims, transparencies, slides, pictures, charts, 

and maps are used to highlight geographic, cultural, and other background features of the areas and civilizations under discussion.

Mission 

The mission of the Naval Science Department is to provide mid· 

shipmen with the fundament al concepts and principles of naval science 

and with the professional naval knowledge necessary to establish 

a sound basis for future growth as naval officers. Academic studies 

encompass leadership and management, meteorology and oceanography, navigation. naval operations and operations analysis. 

Practical applications of all aspects of shipboard operations includ· 

ing leadership, seamanship, shiphandling, communications, and ship· 

board organization are presented throughout the four years both in 

the classrooms and afloat on board the Academy's yard patrol craft. 

The midshipman is thus developed professionally for service as a 

career naval officer through both classroom study and practical ex· 

perience. 
Faclllties 

The Naval Science Department is located in Luce Hall, named for 

Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, founder and first President of the 

Naval War College. In addition to classrooms, Luce Hall contains 

a large Navigation Plotting Room, a Planetarium, four fully equipped 

Combat Information Center (CIC) Training Rooms. and a new En• 

vironmental Science Laboratory. The Plotting Room seats 500 at 

plotting desks for navigation practical work and for examinations. 

The Environmental Science Laboratory, established during the 1967 

spring semester, is used m support of the oceanography maJor and 

mmor programs. Additionally, one of the Academy's yard patrol craft 

has been instrumented for use in obtaining oceanographic data. 

The planetarium is used in teaching astronomy, aerospace environ• 

ment. and celestial navigation. With the Spitz A-3-P Proiector and 

associated auxiliary projectors, 1t is possible to simulate the sky 

as ,t would appear from any point on earth, at any time of day or 

night. The complete sequence of events leading to the determination 

of position at sea by use of the stars, sun, moon, and planets can be 

portrayed with th is device. 

During the winter months, instruction in tactical doctrine and 

procedures is carried out in the CIC Training Rooms. Advanced tactical procedures In anti-submarine and anti-air-warfare situations are 

covered Full-scale fleet tactical exercises, simulated in the CIC's 

to evoke command decisions, include voice radio communications, 

radar presentations, air raids, and tactical plots. 

Instruction in shipboard operations and evolutions is conducted 

on board the Academy's yard patrol craft, commonly called YP's. 

These 80-foot diesel-powered shops are exceptionally well equipped 

to provide training and instruction in seamanship, navigation, com· 

municat1ons, and tactics. As plebes, the midshipmen perform the 

Junctions of helmsman, lookout, signalman, and telephone talker. 

During Second Class Summer the midshipmen again have the op· 

portunoty to polish their classroom knowledge with a four-week period 

aboard the YP's. Midshipmen participate in increasingly complex 

evolutions aboard the YP's during Second Class and First Class Years. 

A final advanced exercise. headed by First Classmen in command 

and control positions, completes the afloat training program.

Mission 

The mission of the Science Department is to impart basic concepts 

and theories, together with appropriate applications, of the physical, 

life, and earth sciences. A study of science fundamentals is pursued 

throughout the curriculum. While a familiarity with present-day devices 

is a necessity, even more important is an understanding of the funda• 

mental principles to which past, present, and future devices owe, or 

will owe, their existence. Midshipmen are given a realization that 

progress depends upon a mastery of basic truths and that, as naval 

officers, they are being prepared to direct the development and use 

not only of the accomplished results of the sciences but of future 

possi bihties. 

Excellent laboratory facilities are provided for student course work 

and research in chemistry, physics, biology, and electrical and elec· 

Ironies engineering. Most courses require midshipmen to participate 

in a minimum of two hours of laboratory work each week. Classroom 

instruction 1s also supplemented by periodic demonstration lectures 

and testing. In addition to the seven core courses required of all midshipmen, the department offers 74 electives.

electron paramagnetic resonance apparatus. 

Physics support facilities include a precision machine shop, two 

darkrooms, and an instrument development and repair shop. For 

experimental teaching by multimedia methods, a 20-station classroom 

is under development. This classroom will permit instruction by various media, including slides and television tapes, and will provide for 

computer analysis of student response for feed-back to the instructor. 

ELECTRICAL SCIENCE. Electrical science laboratories employ a unique 

concept involving a central distribution center and custom-designed 

students' work tables. Voltage signals of varied frequency and waveform are produced in an extensive array of electronic generators located in the distribution center. These signals are selectively relayed 

through coaxial cables to all of the laboratories and to each of the 

175 two-man student work tables. Cable runs make this wide selection 

of waveforms available In lecture rooms, classrooms, computer facilities, and selected laboratories of other Science Department disciplines. 

Primary electrical power (60 Hz a-c, 400 Hz a-c, and d-c) is distributed 

from the central distribution center through appropriate switching and 

protective facilities. 

Each laboratory table provides a large work area facing a metal 

housing accommodating eight standard 19-inch panels. Electrical 

services are supplied to the table through two of these panels. One 

provides safe and convenient access to primary power, and the other 

is used for voltage signals of varied frequency and waveform. The 

second panel also contains provisions for impedance transformation 

and amplitude adjustment. The remaining panels make instruments 

and other support facli1ties available. The array of panels installed at 

a particular work table is dictated by the nature of the experiment 

and the academic level of the student. Typical instrumentation available In panel-mounted form includes multimeters, vacuum tube voltmeters, power supplies, bridge and potentiometer circuits. utility 

primary power panels, digital circuit breadboards, etc. Additional 

panels are designed and fabricated as technological requirements dictate. Experimental work is carried out on experimental circuit boards 

which facilitate rapid connection and permutation of circuits and 

convenient measurement of quantities of interest. 

The laboratory table provides discipline-oriented facilities for a twoman student team. A binaural audio link that supplies two pairs of 

binaural headphones with magnetic tape programs is at each table. 

These programs can be synchronized to slides or other teaching aid 

material 1f desired. Tape and synchronization facilities are components 

of the central distribution system.

at the varsity or intramural level. The varsity program is conducted 

by the At~Iet1c Department, while the Physical Education Depart· 

ment conducts the intramural program 

Excellent fac1llt1es support the athletic program. A large and modern 

field hoiise accommodates both athlete and spectator for varsity 

basketball, wrestling, and track. The one·e1ghth mile dirt track sur 

rounds a large open area containing a full•Slled baseball 1nf1eld Other

the Navy and Marine Corps 
Intercollegiate Athletics 

Midshipmen meet topflight competition in 21 varsity sports from 

football to fencing, swimming to sailing, and soccer to squash. 

Navy meets its most time-honored opponent, Army, in 17 different 

engagements each year. Other top•level competition is regularly provided by such opponents as Notre Dame in football, Princeton in 

basketball, Columbia and New York University in fencing, Penn State 

in gymnastics, Johns Hopkins and Maryland in lacrosse, Lehigh in 

wrestling, Harvard in squash. and Yale in swimming. 

In addition to a busy home schedule, Navy teams travel regularly 

along the Eastern seaboard and, on occasion, nationally in search 

of competition. Within recent years the football team has competed 

in such far-flung cities as San Francisco, Dallas, Boston, Denver, Detroit, and Atlanta, to name just a few. 

Win or lose (but usually winning), the midshipmen give a spirited 

account of themselves. Navy teams and athletes regularly earn their 

share of Eastern, National, and All-American honors. 

The Naval Academy offers midshipmen the opportunity to compete 

in the follow,ng varsity sports: baseball, basketball, crew (heavyweight 

and lightweight). cross country, fencing, football (varsity and light· 

200 weight), golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, pistol, rifle, sailing, soccer. squash, 

swimming, tennis, track (indoor and outdoor), and wrestling. 

FALL SPORTS. Navy football needs little int roduction. The Army-Navy 

game, the Navy's John Cartwrights, Rob Taylors, Roger Staubachs, 

Joe Bellinos, Slade Cutters and other great players have helped spread 

the Spirit of the Naval Academy to every corner of the land In addi· 

tion to Army, a challenging 1O-game schedule features such fine 

teams as Notre Dame, Penn State, Syracuse, Texas, Miami. and the 

Air Force Academy. 

Football ,s not restricted to the varsity level. Spots are also open 

on Navy's lightweight team, a perennial contender for the Eastern 

championship, the junior varsity squad, or the plebe eleven. 

Cross country, sailing, and soccer share the autumn spotlight 

with football National Collegiate Champions in 1964, Navy's soccer 

team received five consecutive bids to the Collegiate tournament from 

1963-67. 

WINTER SPORTS. The tempo heats up as the arrival of winter drives 

the athletic program indoors. Here, midshipmen direct their energies 

to nine different sports. 

Competing primarily in the East, Navy basketball teams have 

given an excellent account of themselves over the years. The fencing, 

rifle, pistol, and squash clubs are consistently in the running for 

National honors. 
Wrestling, long a favorite at the Academy, saw Navy take the 

Eastern title ,n 1968. Gymnastics, swimming, and track complete the 

busy winter sports picture. 

SPRING SPORTS, The familiar-baseball, tennis, golf, track-and the 

unusual-lacrosse, sailing, and crew, blend to produce a well-balanced 

spring program. 

Navy competes ,n the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League, 

which includes the Ivy League schools and Army The nelters and 

golfers are also active ,n Eastern circuits. 

The midshipmen's ambitious rowing program includes three shellsvarsity, JUrnor varsity and plebe, both heavyweight and lightweight. 

Navy's crew last competed in the Olympic Games in 1960. The mid· 

shipmen were gold medal winners for the United States in 1952. 

Lacrosse-a highly popular spring sport-takes ,ts roots from the 

rugged game originated by the American Indians. Navy won or shared 

eight consecutive National titles in lacrosse from 196~7. 
Varsity Sports 

Intramural Sports 
The Intramural Sports Prog ram 

Midshipmen not on varsity teams are required to participate in intramural sports. Thus, every midshipman at the Academy has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of competitive athletics at a level appropriate to his athletic ability. 

The intramural sports program is under the supervision of the 

Physical Education Department. Competition is organized at the battalion and company levels, and trophies are awarded to championship 

teams. Intramural sports include: 

Basketball Handball Tennis 

Boxing Lacrosse Touch football 

Crew Rugby Track 

Cross country Soccer Volley ball 

fencing Softball-fasr pitch Water polo 

Field ball Softball-slow pitch Weight lifting 

football Squash Wrestling 

Gymnastics Swimming 

The Naval Academy Athletic Association 

The Naval Academy Athletic Association is a non-profit organization 

charged by the Superintendent with the responsibility for providing 

and administering the intercollegiate sports program for the midship· 

men. It is headquartered at the Naval Academy The Association discharges ,ts responsibility without the use of appropriated funds. 

The Association arranges the varsity schedules, provides coaching 

staffs and equipment, and maintains a central office to handle the 

administrative details of the athletic program. 

The Naval Academy, a member of the Eastern College Athletic 

Conference (ECAC) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association 

(NCAA), 1s represented ,n and conforms to the regulations of these 

organizations through the offices of the Naval Academy At hletic 

Association 

205 

The Extracurricular Program 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 207 

60 different extracurricular activities. Weekend dances and other 

social activities head the popularity list for many. Musically, there 

are the Glee Club, the Antiphonal Choir, the Protestant and Catholic 

Chapel Choirs, the Drum and Bugle Corps, the Concert Band, five 

separate combos, which provide a lively variety of music for informal 

dances and other social events, and the NA-10, the midshipmen's 

ever-popular dance band. 

Members of the Brigade publish the Lucky Bag, the yearbook for 

each class; the Trident Magazine, a literary and professional publication; the Log, a less serious and more typical campus magazine; the 

Trident Calendar, embellished by photographs and cartoons; and 

Reef Points, a pocket-size guide to Academy and Navy organization, 

lore, and customs for the new plebes. 

Dramatic activities include the Masqueraders and the Musical Clubs 

Show and their supporting groups: The Stage, Property and Make-up, 

and Juice (electrical) Gangs. Other interests fond expression through 

such organizations as the Photographic Club, the Amateur Radio 

Club, the Scuba Club, the Art and Printing Club, the Brigade Activotoes 

Committee, the Public Relations Committee, Radio Station WRNV, 

and the Gun Club. 

Academic and professionally oriented act,v,ties include the Foreign 

Relations Club, the Language Clubs, the Debaters, a Student Chapter 

of the American Institute of Aeronautocs and Astronautics, and the 

Physics Honor Society. The Academy's professionally oriented sailing 

and VP Squadron programs are described on succeeding pages. 
S alling at the Academy has a serious professional purpose. It is also 

fun, The program is extensive and many faceted. And there is sailing 

for every taste-from basic instruction to ocean racing, and from 

leisurely afternoon cruising to the keen competition of high-performance Skipjack dinghies. 

Skills and knowledge of seamanship and the sea gained under sail 

are the same basic skills and knowledge used by seamen for centuries. 

They are as relevant in bringing a ship safely home to port today as 

they ever were. Thus, by developing better seamen, the Academy's 

sailing program contributes to the development of better naval 

officers. 

Sailing Is easily the most popular extracurricular activity at the 

Academy, wit h almost 1,000 midshipmen engaged In competitive or 

recreational sailing. And, judging by the look of things along the 

seawall on weekends, sailing is equally popular with drags (dates), 

The Academy has one of the finest sailing fleets in the world as 

well as some of the best known ocean racers. The fleet ranges from 

the 73-foot ketch, Jubilee Ill, through the 50-foot yawls, Annie D and 

Gypsy, to 12-foot interclub dinghies. Recently, three new standouts 

have been added to the ocean racing fleet: Jubilee Ill, an aluminum 

ketch; Ondine, renamed Severn Star, winner of many of the top dis• 

tance races, and the renowned yawl, Maradea. Two Finns and four 

Flying Dutchmen provide an opportunity for Olympic-type competition. 

The Naval Science Department conducts basic training in sail during 
Plebe Summer, using the Academy's fleet of thirty 26-foot knock- 209 

abouts and twelve 44-foot Luders yawls. After Plebe Summer all sailing 

1s voluntary, either varsity or extracurricular. 

Twenty-six Skipjacks and five 3O-foot Shields sloops are available 

to members of the Varsity Sailing Team . . . which races in intercollegiate competition from coast to coast. Other races during the 

academic year include open competition ,n the Chesapeake Yacht 

Racing Association aboard the Shields sloops, Luders yawls, and 

the larger yachts. 

The Academy sponsors numerous intercollegiate and Bay regattas. 

Both the McMillan Cup and John F Kennedy Memorial Regattas 

are hosted by the Academy During the summer, the larger yachts 

are sailed in the open sea in such races as the Bermuda and Annapolls•Newport ocean races. Other races include the Gibson Island 

Yacht Squadron race to Cape May, the Chesapeake lightship Race, 

the Cape May to Newport Race, the Marblehead-Halifax Race, and 

the Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro Race. Midshipmen skipper the 

yachts 1n Bay races and crew in ocean races. 

Intercollegiate sailing 1s conducted by the Physical Education De· 

partment. Other sailing beyond the primary stage is administered by 

the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron, an organization of officers, faculty, and other devotees of sailing. Besides being highly popular, 

Squadron-arranged weekend sailing trips give midshipmen a chance 

to carry the spirit of the Navy to nearby ports. 
T he Naval Academy's YP Squadron is organized for midshipmen who 

desire more extensive training afloat than is offered by summer 

at-sea training and the Naval Science Department's curriculum. The 

Squadron consists of seven Yard Patrol craft assigned one to each 

of the six battalions with the seventh assigned as flagship of the 

entire Squadron. 

The organization and practices of the YP Squadron are very similar 

to those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. The 

"officers" are midshipmen First Class selected annually in recognition 

of their ability to fulfill command positions. The Squadron Comma• 

dore is responsible for the overall performance and excellence of the 

Squadron, including the coordination of training, proficiency competi• 

tion, inspections, and cruises. Assisting him are a Chief Staff Officer, 

two Division Commanders, and an Administration Officer. Completing 

the staff is an Engineering Officer who supervises training ,n engineering and insures that engineering equipment 1s operated and maintained properly. Each Yard Patrol craft is commanded by a First 

Classman who 1s assisted by a 20-man crew composed of midshipmen 

from all classes. 

Training is serious business during the week. Crews get underway 

on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. Mondays and Wednes· 

days are reserved for classroom drills and instruction. In addition to 

daily training sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to Washington, 

D.C., Norfolk, Va., Philadelphia, and to vanous Chesapeake Bay ports. 

Competition between YP's for the "Battle Efficiency Pennant" is 

keen. The crew adjudged most proficient overall in tactics, deck sea· 

manship, piloting, communications, and engineering is the winner.

Administration 

The administration of the Naval Academy is in many respects analo- 213 

gous to that of any college. A Board of Visitors performs the broad 

supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, 

like a college president, is the executive head of the Academy. He 

is assisted by the Commandant of M1dsh1pmen, whose function is 

somewhat like that of a dean of students, the Academic Dean, and 

an administrative staff. The Superintendent, the Commandant, the 

Academic Dean, and other senior members of the faculty comprise 

the Academic Board, which makes major academic decisions and sets 

physical training come under the Commandant. The Academic Dean 

heads the academic program. 

The Board of Visitors 

A Board of V1s1tors to the Naval Academy is constituted annually 

of the Chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S. 

Senate, or his designee; three other members of the Senate designated 

by the Vice President of the United States or the President pro tempore 

of the Senate, two of whom are members of the Committee on 

Appropriations of the Senate; the Chairman of the Committee on 

Armed Services of the U.S. House of Representatives, or his designee; 

four other members of the House of Representatives, two of whom 

are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of 

Representatives; and six persons designated by the President of the 

United States. 
The Board meets at least once each year at the Naval Academy 

to inquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, in• 

struct,on, physical equipment, fiscal affairs. academic methods, and 

related matters, and submits a wntten report of its action and its views 

and recommendations to the President of the United States.

The Museum 

The Naval Academy Museum serves as inspiration to the men of the 

Brigade by providing tangible evidence of some of the most glorious 

episodes in our Nation's history Its collection of more than 50,000 

ind1v1dual ,terns also provides an important reference source for the 

teaching of naval history. 

While mo·st of the Museum's valuable collections are located within 

the Museum, other items of exceptional interest and value are located 

in the Chapel, Memorial Hall, the Library, and in other buildings 

throughout the Academy. The Museum contains some of the finest 

ship models in the world, including many from the famous Rogers 

Collection, a superb collection of 13 maritime paintings by Edward 

Moran, perhaps the largest collection in the world of items relating to 

the life and work of John Paul Jones, the table from the mess deck of 245 

the battleship Missouri on which was signed the instrument of sur· 

render ending World War 11, and literally thousands of other significant 

items relating to the history of our Navy and of the Naval Academy. 

In add1t1on, the Museum has valuable collections of manuscripts and 

extensive photographic files. 

Museum items in Bancroft Hall include the flag hoisted by Com• 

modore Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie on which were 

emblazoned the immortal words of the dying James Lawrence, "Don't 

Give Up The Ship!"; the original marble bust of John Paul Jones by 

Jean Antonine Haudon; and fine portraits of distinguished naval offi• 

cers. In the Chapel Crypt will be found John Paul Jones' commission 

as a captain, signed by John Hancock, his membership certificate in 

the Society of the Cincinnati, signed by George Washington, and the 

dress sword presented to him by King Louis XVI. The Library contains 

a number of ship models from the Rogers Collection and numerous 

historic flags, including the only known captured British Royal 

Standard.
