This is the 

Naval Academy 

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

:\'avy. It was established for the sole purpose of providing proper!) 

<"ducatcd and tramed officers for the na,·al service. Graduates of 

the fully accredited 4-year course arc awarded the bachelor of science 

degree and arc commissioned ensign, C'.S. :--:avr, or second lieutenant 

in the C.5 Marine Corps. 

The Na,·al Academy is located in .\nnapolis, historic capital of 

\laryland. h is 30 miles east of \\ ashington. DC., and 25 miles 

south of Baltimore. \'isitors, welcome during daylight hours, ma\' 

obtain information and a map from chc guards at the entrance gates 

to the .\cademv Yard. 

TIIROlGII TUE YEARS-1815-1963 

Lndl'r the impact of the technological rc\'olution of the early 19th 

c(•1uury, the t,; S. Xav} changed from the age of sail to the age of 

steam. for this new navy the wisdom of the chaplain doubling as 

SC'hoolmaster had to be augmcntt'd. In 1803 a shon-livcd school 

was 1·stahlishcd at the \\'ashington Navr Yard to supplement the 

usual training afloat And after various half-measures, in 1839 a 

naval sC'hooJ was creat,'d at Philadelphia to gi\'I: an 8-month course for 

midshipmen preparing for promotion examinations. Finaily, in 1845 

G,·org,· Bancroft, the distin�ishl'd historian who was Secretary of th(· 

\:a"y in Pr .

. sident Polk's cabinet. obtained transfn of Fort Severn from 

tht· \rm)' and there caused the L '>. Xaval Academy to be established. 

·1 he· first superintendent was Commander Franklin Buchanan 

I !is St·vcn-man faculty consisted of Lieutenant James JI. \\'ard (gunnt·ry and naval tactics), Professor \\illiam Chauvcnct (mathematic, 
and astronomy), Professor Henry H Lockwood (engineering), Instructor Arsene N. Gira ult (french), Chaplain George Jone; (English), 

Surgeon John /\. Lockwood (chemistry), and passed :-.fidshipman 

Samuel l\larcy (mathematics). Between 50 and 60 midshipmen, 

formed 111 two classes, auended the Academy's firsc convocation held 

on Friday. Octol>cr 10. 1845. 

Except for the Ci"il \\'ar period when instruction was temporarih• 

transferred 10 i'\ewpon, R I., the training and education of midshipmen has conunucd at Annapolis without interruption, surviving Lhe 

post-Civil \\'ar doldrums and then repeatedlr expanding to meet 

the :'\ation's needs. By 1905 there were 881 midshipmen in residence, 

and old, outworn buildings were being completely replaced by handsome new structures \\hich arc an integral part of Lhe Academr today. 

Rt•cent construction includes additional wings for Bancroft Hall co 

improve midshipman housing and provide a brigade Library and 

as5embly rooms, a field house large enough not only for athletics 

but also for the �eat gathering at the annual israduation exercises, 

and the '.\av)-l\lanne Corps l\fcmorial Stadium built with privately 

donated funds on land in close proximity to the Academy. \\'ithin 

the year it is expected that isround will be broken for a nc\\ science 

building, the first of a series of major impro,·emems designed to insure 

adequate laboratories, classrooms, and libraries for the t.:.S. ;\'aval 

Academ) in the nuclear age.

TIIE Y·\.RD TODAY 

The :-:aval Acadcmv Yard on the banks of the Severn River comprises 365 acres occupied by 219 major buildings and extensive drill 

and plavini;:- fields. The beautiful scning, where the Severn widens 

into Chesapeake Bav, 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 

ccntcr of midshipman activity. 1 t houses the entire Brigade of Midshipmen and provides for most of their daily needs. Among its 

facilities arc tailor and barbershops, post office, medical and dental 

quarters, soda fountain, bookstore recreation rooms, a tremendous 

galley, and the vast ]1.frss Hall where the entire brigade is served at 

a single sitting. 

Throughout the Yard stand monumcnis honoring naval heroes of 

th<: past. In the cq pt beneath the dome of the Chapel rests the 

sarcophag:us of the famous Rcvol utionarv \\'ar captain, John Paul 

Jones. 

THE BRIG \IJE OF \TID SIIIP.\lE\ 

rJw Rrigadc of Midshipmen numbers abotll 4,000. It is divided into 

two regirnt·nts, rnch re�rncnt into three haualions, and each battalion 

into four co,npanie,. The 24 companies arc the basic administrative 

3 
units. Each of the subdivisions of the brigade has its own appropriate 

midshipman officers, headed by the Brigade Commander :\1idshipmen stand watch. as aboard ship, and exercise leadership in both the 

militarv and administrati\'c acti\'itics of the Brigade as a vital pan of 

their training. 

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

are colloqu1ally known as "pkbcs.'' Upon completion of their initial 

year thev become Third Classmcn, or "youngsters." The next year 

they become Second Classmen, and in their last ,·ear at the ="a\'al 

,\cadem}' they are First Classmen Each company is made up of 

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

Fourth Classman is assigned to a First Classman for guidance. 

Fourth Class indoctrination, a pan of the plebe year program, is a 

"·,tern that both tests and trains new midshipmen Under the direction 

uf the First Class, the plebe participates in the transition from civilian 

to milita11 life through rigorous training aimed at developing more 

mature judgment. a sense of responsibility. a desire for personal competence, and an understanding of oht·dicnce to commands as fundamental to the proper issuing of commands. Through this disciplint·. 

t•mphasizing honor. courage. and loyalty. the plcl><' gains a knowledge 

of, and pride in, the naval profession. 

THE \rIOSIIlP\f \ '\'S ROCTl ,E 

Tht· life of a midshipman 1s an acuvc one. He follows a well-planned 

routme from the time he rises in the morning until he goes to bed at 

night IL is the ,trict chsciplinc of this 10U1ine which distin�uishe� the 

'\aval Academv from most otht'r colleges.

himself for breakfast formation. 30 minutes later. After breakfast he 

begins a dav of study, recitations, drills. and laboratory work. When 

the academic work is completed at 3 or 4 p.m., he will usually paruc1patc in spans 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 until 11 :00 p.m. Five minmes later, the 

mishipman has "turned in'-' for the night. 

J\t noon on Saturday the Brigade completes the academic work for 

the week Saturday 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," 1s usually planned by one of the three upper classes. Motion 

pictures arc shown for all midshipmen on Saturdav night, and on 

Sunda� afternoon the three upper classes may escort guests to these 

movies. 

On Sunday morning the midshipmen attend services at the Naval 

\cademy Chapel or at the church of their choosing in the city of 

\nnapolis. 

After the First Class has graduated in June, midshipmen of the new 

I· 1rst and Third Classes embark on cruise. The summer program gives 

tlwm an opportunity to appl}· the knowledge and techniques they have 

acquired at the '\aval Acad"my to duties in engineering, gunnery,

\CADEMIC ORGANIZATION 

The Superintendent, a naval flag officer wnh wide fleet experience, 

directs the work of the :--:aval Academy under the immediate administrative control of the Chief of :'\a,·al Personnel. He is assisted by the 

Commandant of Midshipmen, who is charged with the direct administration of the Brigade of Midshipmen; by the Academic Aide, who 

supervises the induction, examination, academic instruction, and 

g:raduation of midshipmen; and by the Directors of the three major 

academic divisions, Naval Science, Science and Engineering, and Social 

Sciences and Humanities. The Superintendent. the Commandant. and 

the three Directors constitute the Academic Board. 

The midshipman's military life and his program of physical education 

and intramural athletics are carried on under the Commandant of 

l\!idshipmen by the Executive and Physical Education Departments. 

FACULTY 

The Naval Academv faculty is composed of naval officer instructors 

and civilian professors in approximately equal proportion. Through 

l'xchange programs, there are also representatives of the other armed 

forces and of other colleges and universities on the faculty. A poliC\ 

of assie;ning the best qualified instructor for the specific course determines the distribution of the officer and civilian facultv amone; the 

academic departments. For example, the :'\aval Science departments 

arc staffed bv ofliccrs, whereas the Social Sciences and Humanities 

8 
departments have a preponderant!, civilian facult}. ln 1963 lhc teachmg faculty, exclusive of adminislratin� olhcials and those in nonacademic pursuits, numbered 282 officers and 236 civilians. 

Members of the :'/aval Academy facultv participate in local and 

national meetings of educational and professional societies. As addscrs 

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

specialties, prepare texts for midshipman instruction, and conduct 

research projects in this country and abroad. 

SCIIEDULE OF I STRUCTIO:X 

The calendar year for each i':aval Academv class is divided into three 

terms· swnmcr term. first term. and second term. The academic year 

consists of the first and second terms, each term generally consisting of 

17 weeks of instruction and 1 week of examinations. :\[idshipmcn 

generally carry about 20 semester hours. The normal academic 

routine provides for 51⁄2 dan of recitations, lectures. laboratory periods, 

and drills each week. Academic days are divided into six 50-minutc 

periods, :-.londay through friday. and four periods on Saturday 

During the seventh period, the Brigade participates in military drill 

on :-.londa> and a dress parade on \fcdncsda�, during the fall and 

spring. Certain elective courses are taught the sc:vcnth period on 

fut·sdan. Thursdays, and Friclavs .\ 2

\t the End of Term-Finni Fu1n1� 

The instrucltonal unit is a sat,on of about 15 midshipmen. These 

small sections e;1,·e each midshipman an opportunity 10 take an active 

part in classroom discussion The high ratio of instructors to students 

makes it possible usually to assign a maximum of three or four sections 

I() an instructor. As a consequence, considerable individual auention 

is characteristic of education at the Xaval Acadcm\'. 

TIIE ,\C-\DE\IIC PROGRAM 

The 4-year proe;ram of the Naval Academy is undergraduate in 

scope and leads lo the bachelor of science degree. The basic curriculum consists of 160 semester hours during the 4 academic years, 

cxclusi\'e of summer tams About one-half of the instruction time is 

devoted to physical and cngint.-ering sciences, one-quarter to the social 

sciences and humanities, and one-quarter to na, al science. The cur10 
Ourin{( Plebe Sun1mcr-Library lndoct.rinntion 

riculum stresses basic and enduring principles to provide a background 

for effective lcadershi p. 

1\s a supplement to the basic curriculum, the Naval Academy offers 

a broad proivam of elective courses and provision for \'aJidation of 

colle�t'-kvcl work successfully completed prior to admission. Qualified 

midshipmen may undertake advanced undergraduate courses in several 

maJor fidds of concentration. The overall program assures all midshipmen of 1hc educational benefits of the basic curriculum and at 

the same time provides the opportunity for fuller development of 

indh·idual talents. 

The award1n!{ of the bachelor of science degree to graduates of the 

'\:av,il \cademy is authorized by the act of Congress approved 25 

\lay 1933. as amended hy the act of Congress approved 8 Julv 1937. 

The dt·e;n·c is accredited by the 1'-1iddlc States Association of Collc�cs

The courses offered by tbe DeparLments of the :-.:aval Science Division arc generally taught during the last 2 years of the midshipman's 

residence at the :-;-aval Acadt>my. In tht> :'.\aval Science field the midshipman applies the education that he has acquired in his science and 

enginc:ering studies to the examination of and further study in the 

proft•ssional areas he wiU encounter as a commissioned officer. 1 ht· 

>.an operates in a complex environment, and the graduate must b,· 

prepared to cope not only with the command challenge of the naval 

profession but with technical problems covering th<' complete spectrum 

from undersea warfare co ballistic missilery as well. In his :S,-a\'al 

Science studies the midshipman establishes a foundation of professional 

competence. I !is courses are designed to teach fundamental principks 

and the applicauon of these principks to tht· solution of naval problems \\ ith this background as a lias<' he can, as a commissioned 

ofTicer, apply himsdf to the effective control of specific equipment and

TRAI -ING UNDER SAIL 

Training under sail at the Naval Academy develops team discipline, 

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

power, there is a strong need for moral courage and resourcefulness 

in men at sea. Ship handling and basic deck seamanship are still 

factors to be counted in bringing any ship into port, whether she be 

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

Academy fosters opportunities for acquiring each of the aforementioned 

qualities and skills. The Academy is utilizing one of the finest facilities 

in the world, as well as some of the best known boats in ocean racing 

circles. 

The Academy's 62-foot cutter Highland Light was holder of the 

record for elapsed time in the Newport-Bermuda ocean racing classic 

for 22 years, and the 71-foot rawl Royono was first to cross the line in 

the 1952 race. The sailing fleet ranges from the 88-foot schooner 

Freedom, the 50-foot yawls Windfall II and GJ'/JSJ, and twelve 44-foot 

yawls, to 14-foot dinghies. Thirty Gannet dinghies are used for 

advanced training and intercollegiate competition 

Competitive experience is gained during the school year with the 

larger boats on the Chesapeake Bay in open competition, and in onedesign intercollegiate and intramural contests in the 44-foot Luder's 

yawls and 14-foot dinghies. The :\"a\'al Academy varsity dinghy sailing 

team is among the best in the country, has placed three of its members 

in the 1960 Olympic Finn monotype eliminations, as well as holding 

the present Middle Atlantic Dinghy Championship. During the summer the larger boats are sailed on the open ocean as a postgraduate 

sailing exercise in the Bermuda and Annapolis-Kewport ocean races. 

Sail training beyond the primary stages is administered by the ;s-ava1 

Academy Sailing Squadron, an organization composed of officers and 

personnel of the Severn River :'\aval Command interested in conrributing to the welfare and ultimate success of Academy sailing. Advanced sail training, as such, is voluntary. All midshipmen are given 

about 2 hours training in knockabouts and dinghies and 4 hours in 

yawls. About one-quarter of the Brigade participates beyond primary 

training 1n competiti\'e and recreational sailing. The =--:aval 1\cademy 

Sailing Squadron, as well as conducting this advanced training, serves 

as a liaison with the sailing fraternity everywhere, as sailing at the 

Academy not onlr gi\'CS vital insight to the Navy itself but is the midshipman's first experience in carrying the Navy to other ports. 

On the page opposite four of the Luder's }'awls are shown closehauled on the starboard tack in Chesapeake Bay off the mouth of the 

Severn River. These yachts arc used for the intercollegiate MacMillan 

Cup series sailed at the Academy each spring.

for E, eniog tudy 

Location and holdmgs.-The Main Library, housed in reading and stack 

rooms in ;\[ahan and 11aury J !alls, contains about 180,000 volumes 

and extensive holdings of technical and naval magazines. The collection is especially strong in naval history and biography, in works on the 

development of ships, and in seamanship, navigation, mathematics, 

aeronautics, ordnance and gunnery. It 1s well developed in history, 

biography, international law and relations, travel, and in reference 

works, with other subjects in lesser degree. A collection of current 

fiction and nonfiction is maintained for recreational reading. The 

books and periodicals are arranged on open shelves providing convenient access. 

Bulleun boards in the library announce new books; the Library 

Bulletin, issued biweekly, lists selected newly acquired books with a 

brief descriptive note of their contents. Citations to articles in specialized naval, military or engineering journals, and at times to items of 

na,·al interest appearing in the general periodicals are included. The 

Library Bulletin is made available to all officers, professors and 

midshipmen. 

Cse of the library is extensive All midshipmen during their first 

summer rcceh·e 2 hours of formal instruction under the direction of 

the library staff in the use of the various periodical indexes, reference 

books, and other library tools. The purpose of the program is to 

69 
acquaint midshipmen with the organization of the library, location of 

books, use of the catalog, and the best ways to look up information 

on a wide variety of topics. 

The library provides officers, instructors, and midshipmen not only 

with facilities for professional study, but also with opportunities for 

widely based cultural and recreational reading. 

Brigade Libra�)·.-ln the fall of 1961 the Brigade Library, located 

between the recently completed seventh and eighth wings of Bancroft 

Hall, was placed in operation. Its resources are being built up to a 

design capacity of between 15,000 and 20,000 volumes, and include 

reference and professional materials, a carefully selected general collection in all fields together with a generous allocation of fiction and 

recreational reading books. Two innovations, a separate room for 

naval and other periodicals, and a well equipped audio section with 

individual listening rooms for records and tapes of music and the 

spoken word are important new features. This attractive new library 

is well lighted and comfortably furnished with formal and informal 

seating for over 200; a long schedule of open hours makes it available 

at all the hours midshipmen are free to use it. 

Departmental collections -The departments of instruction maintain small 

departmental collections of texts, and of works relating to their particular fields for use of their instructional staffs. Significant titles in 

these locations are listed in the catalog of the Main Library. 

THE EVENI1 G LECTURE PROGRAM 

The principal lecture series conducted at the Naval Academ)' is that 

given to the First Class l\fidsh.ipmen The educational methods employed at th.e Naval Academy in general demand of the studem a high 

order of concentration and intense application and are characterized 

by sharp focus in the presentation of subject maner. Therefore, it is 

particularly appropriate during the First Class yrar to provide a better 

understanding of the challenging national, international, and professional problems, and of concepts of broad intellectual implication. 

The First Class lecture series endeavors to do th.is by securing speakers 

who are outstanding in their field, and of wide experience and understanding, whose contribuuon to the midsh.ipman's perspectfre will be 

of lasting value. The lecture series emphasizes matters of professional 

naval interest, subjects in the liberal arts, foreign poliq with respect 

to the current world situation, and the role of the Navy in meeting 

national security responsibilities.

Officer's Career 

A WAY OF LIFE 

Inscribed 111 Latin above the bronze doors of the Xaval Academy 

Chapel is the motto, .. Xot Self, But Countrr"-a motto which tht' 

young candidate embraces the moment he takes the oath as a midshipman and \\ hich "'ill be a part of his beiml' 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 dedicated professional in 

the na\'al scrncc. After 4 rears of intensive stud) at .\nnapolis, he 

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

Navy in the world.

100 
This is a vastly 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 

ability. It is a :',;avy with a proud past and a promising future, broad 

enough to provide a stimulating challenge in a wide specu·um of 

interesting fields. 

FIRST DUTY 

A g,-aduate's first career opportunity comes in his choice of branch 

of the Service. The priority 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 every 

attempt is made to assign him to the dut}· and localit)' 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. .\1ost :',;aval Academy g,-aduatcs arc commissioned as 

ensigns in the line and arc, 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 arc kept ashore LO ancnd 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 

. \ small number arc commissioned on graduation in the Civil 

Engineer Corps, in the Supply Corps, or as Engineering Duty officers. 

Tht' civil en�ncer designecs. after a short tour in a Public \\'orks 

or Scabcc outfit, proceed to a civilian university LO pursue a postgraduate course. Supply Corps officers aw.·nd a special '.'iavy school 

of scvc.-ral mor.ths' duration prior to their first operating assignment. 

The ['.nisincering Duty officers (specialists in ship design, construction, 

and repair) will normally spmd several momhs aboard ship before 

returning to postgraduate work. Those commissionrd as Second 

Li,·utenants in the .\[arine Corps arc ordered to a course in basic 

training before joining regular .\iarinc units.
