This is the Na val Academy 

The L S '\aval Academy is the undergraduate college of the U.S. 

'\avy It was established and exists to educate and train officers for 

the naval senice The :'\aval Academy is accredited b)' the Middle 

States ·\ssociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools to award the 

bachelor of science degree Graduates of its 4-year course arc awarded 

this degree and arc commissioned ensigns in the U.S. i',avy or second 

lieutenants in the L S. Marine Corps. 

Located in Annapolis, historic capital of Maryland, the Naval 

Academy is 30 miles cast of Washington, D.C., and 25 miles south of 

Baltimore. Visitors arc welcome during daylight hours. Information 

and a map of the Academy can be obtained at any of the four entrance 

gates. 

TIIHOL'GH TIIE YEARS 1845 1964 

Befor• 1845 midshipmen of the CS. :--avy were educated aboard 

naval ships by the ship's chaplain. As the '\av,· changed from sail to 

steampower under the impact of the technological revolution in the 

19th century, the knowledge of its chaplains became inadequate for 

the education of its officen. In 1803 a short-lived school was established at the \\'ashington :---avy Yard to supplement the customary 

training afloat. In 1839 a naval school was created at Philadelphia 

to give an 8-month course for midshipmen preparing for promouon 

examinations. Finally, in 1845 George Bancroft, the distinguished 

historian who was Secretary of the :---a\-y in President Polk's Cabinc.:t, 

obtaint·d transfer of Fort Severn at Annapolis from the Army to the 

Navy as a site for establishing the present :'\aval ,\cademy. 

The' first Superintendent of the Naval ,\cademv was Comdr Franklin 

Buchanan. His seven-man faeult} of five officers and three civilians 

taught �nnef"), naval tactics, engineering, chemistry, mathemaucs, 

astronomy, French, and English. About 60 midshipmen, formed in 

2 classes. attended the Academy's first convocation held on Frida)·, 

October 10, 1845. 

Except for the· Civil \Var period, when instruction was temporarily 

transferred to Newport, R I , the training and education of midshipmen has continued at Annapolis. The Academy survived the postCivil \\ ar doldrums of the Nav>, and since has repeatedly expanded 

to meet the demands of the �av} for more and better educated naval 

officers as the fleet grew and modernized to fulfill the Nation's growing 

need of scapowcr. By 1905 the Brigade of :\fidshipmen numbered 881. 

Old, out\'lorn buildings were being replaced by the handsome, solid

new structures which are a part of the Academy's physical plant 

toda). As new building plans were drawn up, landfills in the Severn 

R,ver expanded the Academy's grounds from an original 10 acres to 

their present 292 acres. The most recent landfill, completed in 1959, 

added 56 acres for athletic fields and new building constn.1ctioo. In 

the past few years, wings have been added to the midshipmen's dormitory, Bancroft Hall, to improve living conditions and to provide a 

brigade library and theater. A fieldhouse has been built primarily 

for indoor athletics but large enough to accommodate the entire 

Brigade and the families and friends of First Classmen (senior.;) at 

graduation, and the Navy-!\Iarine Corps Memorial Stadium has 

been constn.1cted with privately donated funds on land near the 

Academy. A new science building is the fir.;t of a series of planned 

future improvements designed to provide adequate laboratories, classrooms, and libraries so that the Naval Academy can fulfill its obligations to the Navy and the Nation in the nuclear age.

THE YARD TODAY 

The Yard, as the �aval Academ> grounds are called in Navy parlance, comprises 292 acres occupied by 219 major buildings and extensive drill and playing fields. The beautiful setting, where the Severn 

River opens into Chesapeake Bay, is admirably suited for training the 

midshipmen afloat and for inspiring them with the seaman's love of 

salt water. 

Of all the buildings in the Yard, Bancroft Hall stands out as the 

center of midshipman activity. It houses the entire Brigade of about 

4,000 men and provides most of their daily needs. Among its facilities 

are tailor and barbershops, a post office, medical and dental quarters, 

a soda fountain, a bookstore, recreation rooms, a tremendous galley 

for cooking the midshipmen's meals, and a vast messhall where the 

en tire brigade is served in a single sitting.

crypt beneath the dome of the Chapel rests the sarcophagus of the 

celebrated Revolutionary War captain, John Paul Jones. 

THE ACADEMIC REVOLUTION 

Since 1959, the academic program of the Naval Academy has responded even more rapidly and profoundly than the physical plant to 

the demands of the nuclear age. The curriculum has been radically 

revised to offer courses relevant to the advanced technology of the ships 

and their equipment that the future officer will have to understand. 

Courses of instruction which directly support graduate study in the 

sciences or humanities have received special emphasis. Course content 

stresses general principles, which will be valid years hence, rather than 

concrete details, which may change. Methods of instruction encourage the student to show his understanding through classroom discussion rather than to learn by memonzation. A new elective course 

program permits midshipmen to substitute elective courses of their own 

choice for courses in the regular curriculum whose requirements they 

4 
have met elsewhere before coming to the Academy and to supplement 

the regular curriculum with electives for which they have the ability 

and study time. The grading S)Stem has been changed from the old 

Navy system ranging from O to 4.0 with 2.5 as passing to the A, B, C, 

D, F system used by many civilian colleges and universities. This 

change is not only consonant with the improvements in curriculum, 

course content, and methods of instruction, which obviate the need for 

a 40-point grading scale, but also makes comparison of a midshipman's 

academic performance with that of students at civilian institutions 

much clearer. In line with the stress on academic performance, a 

small group known as Trident Scholars is selected for their high scholastic attainment from the First (senior) Class each year and excused 

from all regular curriculum requirements, including class attendance, 

to do independent work under the supervision of faculty advisers. 

Midshipmen are encouraged to compete for postgraduate scholarships 

of aU sorts; in 21 years of competition\ for instance, 19 Academy graduates have been selected to attend Oxford Universiry as Rhodes scholars.

,--------- ----------------- --- -------

The Academic Program 

The 4-year academic program of the Naval Academy is undergraduate 

in scope and leads to the bachelor of science degree. The basic curriculum consists of 164 semester hours during the 4 academic years. 

About one-half of the instruction time is devoted to physical and 

engineering sciences, one-quarter to the social sciences and humanities, 

and one-quarter to naval science. The curriculum stresses basic and 

enduring principles to provide a background for effective leadership. 

As a supplement to the basic curriculum, the Naval Academy offers 

a broad program of elective courses and provision for validation of 

college-level work successfully completed prior to admission. Qualified 

midshipmen may undertake advanced undergraduate courses in several 

major fields of concentration. The program thus provides all midsh;pmen with the educational benefits of the basic curriculum and at 

the same time provides opportunity for fuller development of individual 

talents. A complete listing of basic curriculum and elective courses 

by deparUTients is given on pages 53 through. 102 

The awarding of the bachelor of science degree to graduates of the 

Naval Academy is authorized by the act of Congress approved 25 

May 1933, as amended by the act of Congress approved 8 July 1937. 

The degree is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges 

and Secondary Schools. 

THE ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION 

Responsibility for direction of the Naval Academy is vested in the 

Superintendent. This position is held by a naval flag officer. The 

Superintendent is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, who 

is responsible for the administration and military and physical trai.nin11; 

of the Brigade of Midshipmen, and by an Academic Aide and a civilian 

Dean, who supervise 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 eight academic departments: Engineering; Mathematics; 

Science; English, History, and Government; Foreign Languages; 

Command; Weapons; and Naval Hygiene. 

THE FACULTY 

When Commander Buchanan, first Superintendent of the Naval 

Academy, included three civilian teachers among his seven-man 

faculty, he founded a policy which has borne the test of more than a 

7

century. Toda}· the Naval Academy faculty, which has grown LO 520, 

is still an integrated group of officers and ci\'ilians in about equal numbers. The officers. rotated at 3-year intervals, pro,·ide a continuing 

input of new ideas and experience from the Fleet. The civilians provjdc a core of professional scholarship and teaching experience as well 

as continuity to the educational program of the Academy. \\'ell over 

100 differem colleges and universities in the Americas and Western 

Europe are represented by the backgrounds of the Academy faculty. 

Most officer faculry members are naval officers, but all the .l\rmed 

Forces are represented; foreign officers also ser"e through exchange 

programs to instruct in their native languages and to provide midshipmen an early insight into the international aspects of na\'al life. 

\ Cfriliun Professor Conducts a Seminar 
A policy of assigning the best qualified instructor for the specific 

course determines the distribution of the officer and civilian faculty 

among the academic departments. For example, the naval science 

departments are staffed largely by officers, whereas civilian instructors 

are in the majority in the social sciences and humanities departments. 

Members of the ::--;aval Academy faculty participate in local and national meetings of educational and professional societies. As advisers 

and coaches, they work closely with the midshipmen in their extracurricular activities. As scholars, they contribute to the literature of 

their specialties, prepare telCts for midshipman instruction, and conduct research projects in this country and abroad. 

A complete listing of the Naval Academy faculty by academic departments is given on pages 108 through 125-

THE SCHEDULE OF INSTRUCTION 

The calendar year for each Naval Academy class is divided into two 

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

first and second semesters, each semester generally consisting of 17 

weeks of instruction and I week of e.xammations. l\!idshipmen generally carr>· about 20 semester hours of academic courses. The normal 

academic routine provides for 5 1⁄2 days of recitations, lectures, laboratory periods, and drills each week. Academic days are divided into 7 

periods of 50 minutes, Monda)' through Friday, and 4 periods on 

Saturday morning. Ouring the seventh period, the Brigade participates m military drill on Monday and a dress parade on Wednesday 

9 
in the fall and spring. Some elective courses are taught the 7th period 

on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. A 21⁄2-hour evening study 

period is provided every evening except Saturday. Some periods 

during the day are also al1oca1ed to study. 

The instructional unit is a sectron of about 15 midshipmen. These 

small sections give each midshipman an opportunity to ask questions 

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

of instructors co students (about 1 to 10) makes it possible usually to 

assign only three or four sections to an instructor. Consequently 

individual attention is characteristic of education at the Naval Academy. 

THE BASIC CURRICULUM 

Every midshipman must take che basic curriculum, except those 

courses which he can validate as noted below under "Advanced Placement Program." The basic curriculum is designed to give the midshipman the essential education in science, engineering, social science. 

the humanities, and naval science that he will need to perform effectively as an officer in the U.S. Navy. The courses of the basic curriculum and the semester hours allotted to each are listed by class year.

THE ADVANCED PLACEME T PROGRAM 

Midsltipmen are allowed to omit courses in the basic curriculum 

which are substantially the same as courses they have satisfactorily 

completed elsewhere before coming to the Naval Academy This 

privilege, called validation, is granted on the basis of review of previous 

scholastic records and examination by the department whlch gives the 

course for which validation 1s sought. Cand1datu art encouraged lo submit College Entrance Exommol1on Board Advoru:ed Plocemml Its/ results as 

substonliation for uolidotion. 

Midshipmen who validate courses in any department normally take 

the other basic curriculum courses of that department consecutively in 

regular order. After they have fulfilled th<; course requirements oi 

that department, they fill the remaining vacant semester hours allocated 

to that department by taking alternate elective courses in that or some 

other department. Each validating midshipman is assigned a facult) 

adviser co assist him in planning a profitable and acceptable pattern 

of elective courses. 

TIJE ELECTIVES PROGRAM 

Midshipmen of the three upper classes and of rhe Fourth Class 

during their second semester who meet certain scholastic eligibility 

requirements are permitted to enroll in one or more elective courses 

in addition to the courses in the basic curriculum and alternative 

elective courses they may have substituted for basic curriculum courses. 

MAJOR AREAS OF STUDY 

Although each midshipman must complete the basic curriculum, it is 

possible for him to embark on a concentrated field of study. Through 

judicious choice of electives, major programs may be undertaken in 

mathematics, marine engineering, aeronautical engineering, engineering, engineering science, mechanical engineering, nuclear science, 

chemistry, physics, history, social science, foreign language, literature, 

and weapons system engineering. 

TRIDENT SCHOLARS 

l.:nder the Trident Scholars program, a small number of exceptional 

students are permitted co pursue independent research, supplemented 

by such regular curriculum and elective courses as they desire, in

their First Class (senior) year Class attendance is not required, and 

travel in connection with research is fully supported for Trident 

Scholars. Each Trident Scholar is assigned a faculty adviser to coordinate and supervise his program. Monthly formal meetings of 

12

all scholars and advisers provide the vehicle for reporting and monitoring the progress of research. The Trident Scholar prepares and 

submits a thesis on his research project as the basis for his First Class 

academic grade. 

THE LIBRARY 

The Naval Academy Library, under the direction of a professional 

librarian, provides all of the resources of a colk:ge library in support 

of the academic program. In addition to basic reference works and 

primary source materials in such fields as history, literature, and 

science, it incorporates the latest authoritative works in all fields of 

knowledge It is especially well furnished with military source materials and periodicals and has assembled one of the largest collections 

of naval books, periodicals, and related materials in the United States.

PRIZES AND DISTINCTIO 'S 

Each year more than 50 prizes and awards are presented to midshipmen for outstanding accomplishments in academic work, for marked 

proficiency in professional departments, or for excelling in contests of 

knowledge about such matters as world history of the present day and 

in debate and public speaking. 

Prizes normally consist of selected items which will be useful in a 

professional or personal way upon graduation. ln some cases the 

prize or award is specified by the donor but in many the choice of a 

prize, within certain limitations, is left with the recipient. 

These prizes and awards are provided by national patriotic organizations and societies, by former Naval Academy classes, by or in behalf 

of outstanding leaders in military and civilian life, as memorials to 

A autical Prize at Groduntioo 

deceased graduates, and by organizations recognized widely in some 

field of activity or endeavor with a direct or indirect naval association 

or affiliation. 

One of the more noteworthy distinctions wnich can befall a member 

of each graduating class is to be a recipient of a letter of commendation 

from the SuperintendenL. This high honor is conferred on midshipmen 

who have demonstrated outstanding officerlike qualities and who 

have contributed most by precept and example to the development 

of those qualities within the Brigade of Midshipmen. 

Appropriate awards also afford recognition to those who excel in 

athletics and who participate in the many extracurricular activities 

which help to broaden and enrich the lives of the members of the 

Brigade of Midshipmen.

The Military Program 

The l\'aval Academy differs materially from most other institutions 

of higher learning because it has a more comprehensive mission. As a 

college designed to produce naval officers, it offers not only a sound 

academic education but also a physical and military training program 

as a foundation upon which a successful naval career can be built. 

Consequently m1dsh1pmen live 1n an atmosphere considerably different 

from that of the average college. Their life is a disciplined, military 

existence with few of the freedoms normally available to college students Midshipmen have a full and demanding schedule which is 

designed to develop to the fullest their mental, moral, and physical 

capac1ues The ultimate goal of this system is to produce an educated 

leader of firm character, physically sound, and dedicated to the service 

of his country. 

THE BRIGI\.DE OF MIDSIIIPYIE� 

The Brigade of Midshipmen numbers about 4,000. IL is divided inlO 

2 regiments, each regiment into 3 battalions, and each battalion into 

4 companies The 24 companies are the basic administrative units. 

The Brigade is headed by a midshipman Brigade Commander, and 

each of its subdivisions also has an appropriate midshipman officer. 

Midshipmen stand watch, as aboard ship, and exercise leadership in 

both the military and administrative activities of the Brigade as a 

vital part of their training 

The entering class is designated the Founh Class, and its members 

are colloquially known as "plebes." Upon completion of their tnirial 

year, plebes become Third Classmen, or "youngsters." The next year 

youngsters become Second Classmen. In their last year at the Naval 

Academy, midshipmen are First Classmen. Each company is made up 

of members of all four classes in proportion to the size of the class.

FOURTH CLASS INDOCTRINATION 

During his first year at the Naval Academy, the plebe will be exposed 

to an exacting program of inspection, instruction, and correction 

known as "Plebe Indoctrination." The objective of this system is 

forthrighc, demanding, and far reaching. Its aim is the rapid development of the attributes required of a naval officer. It is a posirive and 

constructive program oriented to influence the lives, habits, and 

character not only of plebes but of alJ midshipmen. 

Plebe Year is designed to accomplish the necessary transition from 

the civilian to the military way of life. The new midshipman, through 

precept and example, will have inculcated in him the standards of 

performance required of a naval officer. Additiona!Jy, Plebe lndoctriMidshipman Officers of the Brigade Staff 

nation strives to increase the midshipman's professional knowledge 

and formal education and to inculcate proper study habits. Plebe 

Year is traditionally tough-not by accident but by design. This is 

a period of testing, a time to separate the performers from the nonperformers. It requires midshipmen to produce under pressure, to 

stand on their own two feet, to respond instantly and reflexively lO 

orders, and, finally, to meet the highest standards of conduct, honor, 

character, and morality. Although the Plebe System is run and 

administered essentially by the midshipmen of the First and Second 

Classes, it is closely monitored and supeffised by officers. 

During his first year, the plebe becomes familiar with na\'y life 

and learns its customs and traditions. He is expected to participate 

18 
in intramural sports and become active m as many extracurricular 

activities as his studies will allow. 

THE MIDSHIPMAN'S LIFE 

The lifo of a midshipman is an active one. He follows a well-planned 

routine from lhe time he rises in the morning until he goes lo bed at 

night. It is the strict discipline of this routine which distinguishes the 

Naval Academy from most other colleges. 

During the academic year a midsh.ipman's day begins at 6:15 a.m. 

He rises and prepares himself for breakfast formation, 30 minutes later. 

After breakfast he begins a day of study, recitations, drills, and laboraFormal Hops are Always Popular 

tory work \\'hen the academic work is completed at 3 or 4 p.m., 

he will usually panic1pate m sporn or extracurricular activities until 

evening meal formation at 6.30 p.m. After the evening meal and a 

brief period of relaxation, he returns to his studies for the remainder 

of the evening. "Taps" sounds at 10:20 p.m., but studies may continue 

under specified conditions. 

At noon on Saturday the Brigade completes the academic work for 

the week. Saturda)' afternoon will find the midshipmen enjoying 

"liberty" in Annapolis or attending the many intercollegiate athletic 

contests or participating in them. On Saturday night a dance, or 

"hop," is usually planned by one of the three upper classes. Motion 

19 
pictures are shown for all midshipmen on Saturday night, and on 

Sunday afternoon the three upper classes may escort guests to these 

movies. 

On Sunday morning the midshipmen attend services at the Naval 

Academy Chapel or at the church of their choosing in the city of 

Annapolis. 

Sundny Sen·ice io the Chnpel 

\\'hen summer comes, midshipmen of the new First and Third Classes 

embark on cruise. The summer program gives them an opportunity 

to apply the knowledge and techniques they have acquired at the :'.'-lava! 

Academy to duties in engineering, gunnery, navigation, communications, aviation, and tactics. They learn at first-hand the duties of seamen and petty officers as well as those of junior officers. They gain 

increased knowledge and a wider understanding of the Navy. In 

visits to foreign ports they enjoy seeing the land and meeting America's 

friends and allies. At the end of cruise midshipmen receive 30 days 

leave of absence from the academy before beginning the new academic 

year.

Meanwhile the members of the new Fourth Class spend the summer 

at the Naval Academy. While the Second Classmen are engaged in 

aviation indoctrination and a four-week academic program, the Plebes 

are trained to prepare them for taking their place in the Brigade when 

the other classes of midshipmen return in September. 

LEA VE 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 Glassman (Senior) will have not only more 

responsibility in the administration of the Brigade but also more 

privileges. Midshipmen 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 

for all classes during the academic year. These are Christmas leave, a 

period of about 2 weeks; end-of-term leave, a 3-day weekend break at 

the end of the first cerm in January; spring leave, a period of 3 days 

usually in late March; and the month-long summer leave at the completion of the summer training program. 

In addition co leave of absence, midshipmen are granted recreational 

freedom in the Annapolis area. This privilege is called liberty. Like 

all other privileges, it varies with seniority and responsibility. Fourth 

Classmen are permitted liberty on Saturday afternoons and dining-out 

privilege with relatives and close friends on Saturdays and Sundays. 

They are permitted co escort young ladies on three occasions during 

their first year. First Classmen have liberty after classes every day 

unless duties prevent. They are also granted three weekend liberties 

each semester.

The Athletic Program 

Every athletic appetite can be satisfied by the diversified intercollegiate and intramural sports program at the Naval Academy. It is 

probably the largest such program at any major institution in the 

Nation. 

The activity sprawls over 101 acres of playing field, spills onto the 

gridiron of the Academy's modern 29,000-seat Navy-Marine Corps 

Memorial Stadium, reverberates throughout the cavernous Naval 

Academy Field House, and occupies an abundant array of tennis, 

squash, handball, and badminton courts. 

The multisidcd program is open to all midshipmen. Every young 

man at the Academy is obliged to participate in some way. In this 

manner the Naval Academy fulfills the "physical" portion of its threepronged mission. 

INTER COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS 

Twenty-one varsity squads represent Navy in intercollegiate competition throughout the country. During the fall, winter, and spring 

23 
seasons, Navy teams are active carving a record of achievement which 

can be equaled by few institutions. 

In the athletic year 1962-63, for instance, the Naval Academy's 

varsity teams won 129, lost 60, and tied 1, in action with other schools. 

Two squads finished their seasons undefeated, while five other teams 

won or tied for championships. In 1964 :\'avy had 9 All-Americans 

representing 8 different sports. 

The- intercollegiate program encompasses the following sports: 
Baseball, basketball, crew (heavyweight and lightweight), cross 

country, fencing, footbaU (varsity, junior varsity and lightweight), golf, 

gymna�tics, lacrosse, pistol, rifle, sailing, soccer, squash, swimming, 

tennis, track, and wrestling. 

Fall Sports 

Football, of course, is king in the faU. Navy teams are always interesting and exciting with a fast and lively style of attack. The big 

GAME of the season is always the meeting with arch-rival Army 

before the usual 100,000 spectators in Philadelphia. Navy, however, 

plays to sellout audiences across the entire country. The grid program 

is not restricted to a varsity eleven. Midshipmen can also compete for 

sports on the 150-pound squad, the junior varsity team, or a plebe 

(freshman) outfit. 

Two sports demanding the utmost of conditioning----soccer and cross 

country----share the autumn spotlight with football. Cross-country 

races are normally run over a 5-mile course. An unusual scoring 

system awards victory to the team compiling the fewest points. Soccer 

requires an aptitude for clever footwork. Navy's soccer record has 

been outstanding in recent seasons. The 1963 team participated in 

the NCAA soccer tournament, taking second place in the Nation. 

Dinghy sailing is a sort of hybrid in so far as seasons go. The sailors 

sail an intercollegiate schedule in both thi; fall and spring. 

I IT i11ter Sports 

An ambnious program of nine sports keeps the athletic heac torrid 

during the winter months. From swimming pool to wrestling loft, 

midshipmen are busy challenging the top collegiate opponems. 

\;avy basketball has enjoyed unparalleled success since the sport came 

to the banks of the Severn in 1906. ln all of thac time the midshipmen 

have had only two seasons in which Navy lost more games than it won 

In fencing, Navy has won more collegiate titles than in any other 

single sport. Navy was last NCAA champion in 1962. 

Gymnastics, rifle. pistol, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling 

offer other outlets for the interested young man. In each of these 

sports, expert coaclung, excellent facilities, and the finest of equipment 

arc available. 

Spring Sports 

Springtime moments can be devoted to any one of seven sports. 

Navy plays its home baseball games in the 5,000-seat Lawrence Field. 

The �liddie nine competes in the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball 

League, which includes the Ivy League schools, Army, and Navy. 

Lacrosse is a challenging sport played by over 70 colleges in the 

L,nited States. Navy teams cxcell in this old Indian game, which 

draws enthusiasttc crowds throughout the State of �laryland. 

Three shells-varsity, junior varsity, and plebe-are open in both 

heavyweight and lightweight crew programs. Oarsmen with talent 

can win a seat and perhaps a trip to the Olympics Navy was the 

Olympic champion in 1952. 

Golf and tennis arc two recreational pursuits that can give enJoymcnt 

even tn lat!'r years after graduation A 6,217-yard golf course is open 

to midshipman play as well as blocks of tennis courts. Outdoor track 

and dinghy sailing complete the ro�ter of spring sports. 

718-904 0-64--3 29 

I 'TRA l\IURAL SPORTS 

All midshipmen not on organized teams are required to take part in 

intramural sports. In intramurals they can compete with others possessing comparable athletic abiliry in a particular sport and enjoy an 

opportunity for physical development and recreation. The intramural 

sports program of the Physical Education Department comprises the 

followmg 24 different sports: 

badminton football swimming 

basketball gymnastics tennis 

boxing handball touch football 

bowling lacrosse track 

crew rugby triathlon 

cross country soccer volley ball

The Sailing Program 

Training under sail at the :'\aval Academy develops team discipline, 

leadership, and apprccicuion of the sea and ships. In an age or nuclear 

pO\ver, moral courage and resourcefulness are more than ever needed 

in men .it sea Shtp handling and basic deck seamanship are still 

factors to be counted m brin�ng any ship into port, whether she be 

powered by sail or nuclear reactor The sail training program at the 

Academy fosters each of the aforementioned qualities and skills. 

In this program the Academy uses one or the finest small craft 

facilities in the world as well as some of che best known boats in 

,.

Its 30 Gannett dinghies and Shields sloops are used for advanced training and intercollegiate competition. 

33 
Midshipmen gain compenttve experience during the school year 

with the larger boats on the Chesapeake Bay in open competition and 

with the 44-foot Luders yawls, 30-foot Shields sloops, and 14-foot dinghies in one-design intercollegiate and intramural contests. The Xaval 

Academy varsity dinghy sailing team is among the best in the country, 

having placed three of its members in the 1960 Olympic Finn monotype eliminations. During the summer the larger boats are sailed on 

the open sea in the Bermuda and Annapolis-.\lewport ocean races as a 

postgraduate sailing exercise. 

Sail training beyond the primary stages is administered by the 

.\lava! Academy Sailing Squadron, an organizaLion of officers, faculty, 

and other personnel of the Severn River Sava! Command interested in 

contributing to the welfare and success of Academy sailing. Advanced 

sail training is rnluntary. About one-quarter of the Brigade of Midshipmen participate beyond primary training in competitive and 

recreational sailinl\' In addition to conducting this advanced training, 

the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron serves as a liaison with the 

sailing fraternity everywhere. Thus sailing at the Academy not only 

gives a midshipman vital insight into the nature of the sea but also 

is his first experience in carrying the spirit of the Navy to other ports.

ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS 

Scholastu; Preparation 

The scholastic requirements for ad mission to the Naval Academy 

and the arrangement of the first-year course of instruction anticipate 

a 4-year high school course as the minimum of preparation. The 

ideal arrangement of preparatory studies is one which includes 4 

years of English; at least 3 years but preferably 4 years of mathematics, 

including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry; chemistry; physics; 

U .S history, at least 2 yean; of a foreign language, and mechanical 

drawing. The remaining courses necessary to round out the full high 

school schedule should be chosen from subjects such as biology, the 

foreign languages, philosophy, astronomy, economics, government, 

43 
physical geography, or from other subjects in the social or physical 

sciences. At least 15 units of credit should be presented. Graduation from an accredited 4-year nigh or preparatory school (or its 

equivalent) is mandatory, and the record of work done must be acceptable to the Naval Academy Academic Board in terms of subject matter 

and level of achievement. Preparation should be thorough, because 

at the Naval .\cademy the pace is rapid and midshipmen are required 

to participate in other than academic areas of instruction looking 

toward the development of suitable military character. 

The courses in the desirable subjects that are offered in the high and 

preparatory schools throughout the country that are accredited by the 

recognized accrediting agencies are adequate in content and scope to 

fulfill Naval Academy requirements and to prepare for the essential 

College Entrance Examination Board tests. 

Meth0<l of Qualifying 

There are two methods by which a candidate may qualify academically for admission to the Naval Academy: 

I. College Board tests and secondary school record

2. Secondary school and college certificates

Candidates holding noncompetitive congressional nominations and 

the sons of holders of the Medal of Honor are permitted to use either 

of the two methods, and in these instances it is the candidate's responsibility to determine wnich method offers him the greater possibility 

of success. AU other candidates must rake the necessary College Entrance Examination Board tests in December, Januarv, or l\farch of 

the school year preceding admission. 

In the following brief description of the nvo methods, only the 

essential features are covered. Candidates, prospective candidates, 

and school officials are invited to correspond with the Dean of Admissions, U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, ;\fd., regarding any point 

in the admission requirements on which further information is desired. 

,·Ill candidates for admission mus/ have an accred1ted high school certificate. 

ll is important that each candidate insure that his complete high 

school record and chc record of any college work which he may have 

completed be furnished the :\'aval ,\caderny. 

College Boord Tests and Secondary School Record Jfethod 

The basic method of qualifv

ing is by presenting an acceptable 

secondary school record and taking the College Entrance Examination 

Board tests, as follow�: The Scholastic Aptirude Test (verbal and 

mathematics sections), the Eng-lish Achievemem Test, and either 

Level I (Standard) or Level II (Intensive) Mathematics Achievement 

Test. 

44 
All candidates for appointment from t.he various competitive sources 

and all other candidates not qualifying by the College Certificate 

Method must take this series of tests. 

Each duly nominated candidate must register with the College 

Entrance Examination Board for the December, January, or March 

series of tests as promptly as possible after receiving t.hc necessary instructions from the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department, \,Vashington, !J.C., 20370. These instructions will provide for payment by the 

'savy of fees for tests. Although the Navy Department will pay for only 

one administration of the tests, t.he Naval Academy will accept scores 

from the at.her administrations specified above and will credit the 

candidate with t.hc highest scores achieved. 

Information on the tests, including dates of administration, location 

of testing centers, dates by which candidates must register, method 

of application, etc., is published in a booklet entitled Bulletin of lnforma/1011. /\ copy may be obtained without charge by writing to the 

College Entrance Examination Board, Post Office Box 592, Princeton, 

:-:.]., 08540 or Post Office Box 1025 Berkeley, Calif. 94701. 

Satisfactory scores on the College Entrance Examination Board 

Tests will be determined by the Academic Board of the Naval Academy. 

No candidate will be admitted to the Naval Academy unless in the 

opinion of the Academic Board he shows the requisite mental 

qualifications. 

A high school certificate is required for eligibility and school records 

will be a consideration in determining whether or not a candidate is 

to be accepted. A good secondary school record is one which reports 

grades of good quality for a desirable arrangement of preparatory 

courses chosen from those listed above under the heading "Scholastic 

Preparation" and a breadth of school interests and extracurricular 

activities indicative of a well-rounded student. For other than exceptional cases, no credit will be allowed in a certificate, or as evidence 

of required review, for work done under a tutor, in correspondence 

courses, or in nonaccredited schools. 

College Cen ificate 

The college certificate method of fulfilling the educational requirements for admission is available only to candidates holding noncompetitive congressional nomination and to sons of holders of the Medal 

of llonor 

To qualify by the college certificate method, a candidate must, in 

addition to sausfying the requirements in a secondary school certificate, 

present a certificate from an accredited junior college, technological 

school of college grade, college, or university, attesting the completion 

of I year of cc,llcgc work with grades acceptable to the Naval Academy. 

The college certificate must include at least 6 semesters hour of mathe711!-904 0-64-4 45 
matics sdected from college algebra. trigonometry, calculus, etc., 6 of 

college English and/or history, and sufficient other subjects acceptable

The Naval Officer's Career 

A WAY OF LIFE 

Inscribed in Lat.in above the bronze doors of the Naval Academy 

Chapel is the mouo, "Not Self, But Country"-a mouo which the 

young candidate embraces the moment he takc-s the oath as a midshipman and which will be a part of his being for the rest of his life. 

His education at the Academy has been designed for one purpose only: 

to prepare him for a lifetime career as a dt'dicatcd professional in 

the naval service. After 4 years of intensive study at Annapolis, he 

is ready to assume his responsibilities as an officer in the greatest 

Navy in the world. 

This is a complex Kavy---one whose ships range every ocean, whose 

officers and men not only sail the seas but who arc engaged in construction and research from the tropics to the poles, whose supersonic 

planes have provided the training �ound for America's first astronauts, 

whose nuclear submarines arc a testimony to America's engineering 

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

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

This is a vaslly complicated and technological Navy, yet one in which 

the human being is, in the end, all important. It is an organization 

which puts a high premium on leaders with vision, dedication, and 

abilit)'. It is a Navy with a proud past and a promising future, broad 

enough to provide a stimulating challenge in a wide spectrum of 

in terest.i.ng fields.

FIRST DUTY 

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

of the Ser"ice. 1 he priori tr assigned his individual preference is 

dependent upon a number of factors, including his standing in class. 

the needs of the Service, and his personal qualifications; but everr 

auempt is made to assign him to the dutr 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 

L .. S. Robert E. LeeNuclear-Powered BaUisLic 

Missile Submarine 
ensigns in the line and are, thus, ultimately headed for command at 

sea. The majority go to sea initially in a combatant-type shipi.e., aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or amphibious craft-but 

some are kept ashore to auend specialized schools before joining 

the fleet. Included in this group are those graduates entering the 

nuclear submarine field and those headed for flight training and a 

career in naval aviation. 

A small number are como:tissioned 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 a civilian university to pursue a postgraduate course. Supply Corps officers attend a special Navy school 

of several months' duration prior to their first operating assignment. 

The Engineering Oury officers (specialists in ship design, construction, 

and repair) will normally spend several months aboard ship before 

returning to postgraduate work. Those commissioned as Second 

Lieutenants in the Marine Corps are ordered to a course in basic 

training before joining regular Marine units. 

OFFICER EDUCATION AND TRAINING 

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 is in the Service. From graduation day 

forward, he will continue to prepare himself for assignments of greater 

responsibility and professional attainment by acquiring practical experience ashore and afloat and through advanced academic work. The 

extent of his attainment is limited only by his own ability, initiative 

�en Bees at work 

in Ant.nrctieu 
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 programs, at both naval and civilian institutions, designed to prepare 

the officer for higher responsibilit} in the service of the United States. 

This move toward postgraduate education is begun in some cases before 

graduation, when a few midshipmen are selected to compete for scholarships in civilian universities. Most notable in this area, and the one in 

which Academy graduates have been most successful to date, has been 

the Rhodes Scholarship, tenable at Oxford University. 

As noted above, a small number of officers who have been selected 

for a specialty career in engineering will normally proceed to postgraduate work for the master's degree shortly after graduarion. For 

the majority, however, Navy functional and basic technical courses 

provide their first post-commissioning training. �fostly of short duration, they are in such fields as communications, gunnery, anrisubmarine warfare, damage control, electronics, and amphibious warfare. 

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

the qualified Naval Academy graduate may expect orders to a postgraduate school for one or more years. Many fields of study are open 

to him, including, but not necessarily restricted to, those of mathemarics, 

physics, general science, various types of engineering {nuclear and 

aeronautical, for example), management, international relations, and 

naval intelligence. For the best qualified, the way is open to a doctorate. Courses are conducted at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 

Monterey, Calif., the Naval Intelligence School, \Vashington, D.C., 

Test Pilot School, Patuxent River, Md., and various civilian institurions such as Carnegie Institute of Technology, Harvard, MIT, 

Princeton, Rensselaer, Stanford, and Tulane. 

It should be noted not only that opportunities for postgraduate work 

are afforded in the early years of commissioned service, but that 

they continue throughout an officer's career. Senior war colleges. in 

particular, arc noted for bringing officers up to date on problems of 

international import and their effect on our global strateg}, The 

officer who aspires to positions of high responsibility will, of necessity, 

have to continue to grow intellectually and thus to be part-student all 

of his professional file. 

OFFICER CAREER PATTER S 

Within the framework of the needs of the Service an officer determines his own career pattern to a significant degree through hjs 

requests for assignments aAoat and ashore, his advanced studies, 

and, of course, b} his performance. ).fost graduates, after their 

first tour at sea, elect to continue as line officers, many of Lhem requesting assignment at this time to Aight or submarine training. A small 

50 
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 components are alternated with assignments to bureaus, offices, and 

activitirs 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 mariner and as a leader. The early years of 

experience at sea form a basis for his career wnieh will include bringing 

his sea-going experience to the management of certain supporting 

shore facilitics. 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 

other Services. In all assignments, individual preference is given 

careful consideration. 

Officer careers continue along many paths, depending upon individual experience and background. After his postgraduate tour, a line 

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

commanding officer of a smaller combatant vessel. Line officers 

who arc aviators may expect to resume duty in an aircraft squadron 

based in a carrier or ashore. Others who are qualified in submarines 

will continue in duties preparing them for submarine command, wh.ich 

comes after about I 2 years of commissioned service. 

Every officer may expect to serve in billets in which his naval 

education will be most valuable. Many line officers qualify for a 

subspccialty which they exercise during periods of shore duty. These 

specialties include such varied fields as naval inte!Jigence, oceanography, communications, meteorology, nuclear engineering, and 

aeronautical engineering. In addition, officers aspiring to command 

at sea wi!J serve in a variety of ships or aircraft in different capacities, 

as well as in staff and planning billetS afloat and ashore, in the United 

States and overseas, to prepare them further for command. 

It is a satisf}-ing, but demanding, life. The naval officer presents 

manr faces to the world: Fleet Commander, engineer, scientist, diplomat, educator. His is not just a job, hut a way of life-a career dedicated to the service of the United States carrying with it h.igh 

professional prestige and opportunities for broad experience-a 

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

and the irnaginauve The Navy is not a career field for those who 

prefer a soft life to shy away from challenges. It is, rather, one for 

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

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

Dunng his second afloat cruise the midshipmen stands the watches 

and performs the duties of a junior officer. He is exposed to the social 

courtesies, amenities, and customs of wardroom life aboard ship by 

subsisting in the wardroom mess. Training programs are employed 

consisting of dar's work in navil{ation, watchkeeping on the bridge 

and in the Combat Information Center, lectures, and studies required 

in the completion of his cruise journal. 

57 
First Semester 

C407 Case Studies in Leadership and Military Law. Group discussion and case study methods are used to analrze current, typical 

junior officer leadership and management situations, with emphasis 

on self-development and individual responsibility. The objective of the 

course in Military Law is to give the midshipmen an understanding of 

those aspects of Military Justice and International Law which are of 

most use to a junior officer. Two and one-half semester hours. 

C411 Naval Operations I (3% semester hours) and (SECOND TERM) 

C414 Naval Operations ll ( 4 1⁄2 semester hours) 

Naval Operations I and If provide general instruction in naval 

operations. The second semester is a logical continuation of the first. 

The subject is approached from two widely separated viewpoints. ln 

one phase (approximately 30 percent of the course) the mission and 

capabilities of the U.S. l\"avy are critically examined, both as they 

represent implementation of national and military strategy and as they 

are affected by political, economic, and technological influences. 

Cognizance is taken of the present and projected state of international 

affairs as a basis for indicating the types of war which the Navy must 

be prepared to fight. Also included in this portion of the course is a 

functional description of the Department of Defense. 

The remaining and major portion of the course is devoted to an 

analysis of naval tactics and their relation to the broad concept of 

naval operations. Operations analysis techniques, which are well 

within the mathematical capability of first class midshipmen, are used 

to develop understanding of several basic aspects of naval warfare (e.g., 

search, detection, kill). This knowledge is then applied to an analysis 

of air warfare, antiair warfare, and antisubmarine warfare with a view 

to optimizing tactics and procedures and determining force requirements and the comparative effectiveness of equipments in operational situations. The ultimate intent of this portion of the course 

is to provide an understanding of the theories which have been 

used in the development of basic naval tactics. This objective is complemented by that of the associated drill program which emphasizes 

the practical aspects of using standard naval tactics. 

ELECTIVE COURSES

WEAPONS DEPARTMENT 

Midshipmen commence the basic \\ eapons Department curriculum 

at the beginnini;: of Second Class year. Prior 10 this time weapons 

instruction is limited to small arms marksmanship during plebe summer 

and shipboard familiarization durini;: summer cruise before the beginning of Third Class year. 

The basic curriculum, Second Class year, begins with the study of 

terminal ballistics, con"cntional and nuclear explosives, reaction propul5ion, and target intercept analysis Laboratory work in support of 

these courses is in ballistic dispersion analysis, conventional explosives, 

and static tests of rocket propulsion. 

During First Class year the course consists of the study of automatic 

control systems used in modem weapons systems. Laboratory work 

in support of automatic control systems consists of the mathematical 

analysis of the components which make up weapons systems. 

Midshipmen recei,·e instruction in both analog and digital computation as part of the basic course in \\'capons Laboratory. The Computing Center is equipped with an IBM 1620 digital compucer with 

punched card or typewriter input and output. Special training devices 

are available 10 explore the area of logic circuitry, Boolean algebra, 

and binary systems. Nine analoit computers arc on hand 10 set up 

mathematical models in target intercept analysis and servomechanisms. 

The lahoratory problems arc designed 10 induce the midshipmen to 

99 
utilize computers as an aid in the solution of general engineering 

equations Analog a nd digital computer elective courses which go 

deeper in to the area of computer comprehension are also taught. 

I n ,·iew of the complexity of modem weapons systems and other 

technological areas, a kn owledge of computers is now a necessity for 

Lhe naval officer. An early awareness of the need and subsequent 

development of computer-oriented courses has placed the :\"aval 

Academy in a leading position ,n the use of computers in undergraduate education .

Administration of the Naval Academy 

The administration of lhe Naval Academy is in many respects 

analogous to that of any college. A Board of Visitors performs the 

broad supervisory functions of a board of trustees. The Superintendent, 

like a colleg-e president, is the executive head of the Academy He is 

assisted hv an administrative staff, lhc Commandant of Midshipmen, 

whose function is somewhal like that of a dean of students, and an 

academic staff. The faculty is organized into eig-ht academic departments, an Executive Department, and a Physical Education Department. 

THE BOARD OF VISITORS 

A Board of \'isitors to the Naval Academy is constinned annually 

of the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the U.S. 

Senate, or his dcsignee, truce other members of the Senate designated 

by the \ict President of the United States or the President pro ltmport 

of the Senate, l\VO of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; the chairman of the Com.mince on Armed Services 

of the U.S. House of Representatives, or his designee; four other 

members of the House of Representatives designated by the Speaker 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 annually at the l\:aval Academy to inquire into the 

state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical 

equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and related matters and 

submits a written rcport of its aclion and its views and recommendations 

pertaining to the Naval Academy to the President of the United States.
