Gentlemen 

The challenge that confronts every young man in deciding what to do with 

his lifo after graduation from high school has never been as difficult, nor 

as crucial to the future of this nation, as it is for you today. These are 

troubled times and if we are to endure and prosper as a free country we 

must ensure that tomorrow's leaders have the requisite toughness of mind, 

spirit, and character to overcome the difficulties that are upon us now and 

those that loom large on the horizon. If you are the type of young man 

willing to meet the challenge head-on, then I ask that you give careful 

consideration to what Annapolis has to offer. 

The educational program at the Naval Academy 1s one of the finest in the 

country It 1s flexible, of high quality, and is conducted in a physical plant 

equalled bv few colleges or universities 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 aptitudes- -but much more important, 

it is dedicated to developing within its graduates an understanding of 

what 1t means to be a competent and conscientious professional officer 

The road through Annapolis is not an easy one, but I can assure you from 

personal experience that it points to a bright future and promises as exciting, 

varied, and rewarding a career as is open to the young men of America 

anywhere today.

I: Why the Naval Academy? 

If you have picked up this catalog and thumbed through it this far, presumably you have at least some interest in the Naval Academy. Perhaps it is 

only a Aeeting one prompted by curiosity. Or, conceivably, your interest 

could be a deeper one and you could be thinking of attempting to obtain an 

appointment to the Academy. In any case, it is reasonable that you should 

want to ask questions about it. What can Annapolis offer me that other 

schools cannot? What will I get out of it in the long run? In short, why 

should I consider the Naval Academy in making my plans for the years 

ahead? The paragraphs below are an attempt to provide brief, objective 

answers to those questions. 

Service to Country 

We should be frank about this from the beginning. The purpose of the 

Naval Academy is to prepare young men to be professional officers in the 

naval service. No one asks that you come to Annapolis with your mind made 

up that you want to be a career officer in the Navy or Marine Corps. We do, 

however, ask that you come with the realization that you are being educated 

and trained for service to your nation, that you will serve as an officer for at 

least five years after graduation, and that you keep an open mind as to your 

future after that five years. The idea of service, the desire to help your country 

where help is badly needed, must be high in your reasons for coming to 

Annapolis if you are to succeed, and if you are to justify taking a place in the 

entering class. 

Education 

A sound college education is the foundation for every profession in our 

society. The naval profession is no exception. Since its founding in 1845, the 

Naval Academy has been dedicated to providing the best education for its 

students consonant with its mission and the needs of the Navy. In recent 

years, the growing complexity of the Navy, both in its internal technology, 

9 
and in the nature of its outside relation5hips, has changed the requirements 

for the undergraduate education of its officers al Annapolis. The bedrock of 

today's Naval Academy education is still in the professional, seagoing, shipboard subiects required of each graduate Beyond these, however, each midshipman may now choose any one of 2o major fields of study, ranging from 

engineering through oceanography and mathematics on to historv, economics, 

and international affairs. The needs of the Navy require that 70 percent of 

each class be enrolled in engineering, scientific, or mathematics majors but 

this permits a sizable minority lo choose their majors in the fields of humanities or social sciences. 

Leadership Training 

The Na\'al Academy does much more than simply offer you a sound college education. Its program includes military training, phvsical training, and 

the inculcation of the ideals of the na\'al profession. The purpose of the overall program al Annapolis 1s to produce a self-confident leader who accepts 

his responsibilities both to the nation he ser\'es and to the men he commands. 

This is not an easy goal and no one should come to the Naval Academy with 

the idea that the training program is a sort of spare-time adiunct to the educational program. It is all-encompassing and its acti\'ities pervade the fouryear course through all the months of the year. 

The plebe year at Annapolis is not easv. It is a year of de\'elopment in J 

new and different environment. You will certainly feel pressure and stress in 

the process and you will learn to utilize time better than you ever have 

before 

Beyond plebe year the Academy applies its regulations and its system of 

accountabilitv to you with decreasing severity until, during vour first class, 

or senior, year, you will have a great deal of freedom in choosing what you 

will do and where you will go. Along with that increased freedom, however, 

will come increased responsibility. The first class, and particularly the Brigade 

officers chosen from the first class, are charged with much of the responsibility for running the Brigade. Student government was a reality at the Naval 

Academy long before 11 was being discussed at other institutions. 

) our four years at Annapolis will not be easy ones No achievement so 

worthwhile is ever easy. By the time vou graduate, you will have developed 

your potentials of scholastic achievement, phvsical conditioning, and leadership ability to the best possible advantage 

10 
Travel and the Sea 

The Naval Academy is linked with the sea through its history, its mission, 

its day-to-day work, and its future. As you stroll through the Academy Yard, 

you can see ocean-going ships plying the Chesapeake on their way to and 

from Baltimore. Whatever the month, you will usually see part of the Academy's fleet of nearly 100 small-craft- sail and power- underway in the 

Severn River or on the Bay. 

Perhaps you have never thought much about the sea; perhaps you have 

lived near and known it well all your life; perhaps you have never known 

much about it but it has always spelled adventure, travel, and excitement for 

you. Whatever your situation, you should not think seriously about Annapolis without also thinking about the sea. 

Two of your four summers at the Academy will be devoted to cruises in 

ships of the Navy. After your plebe year, your youngster cruise will take you 

to distant ports either in Europe or the Far East. Recent Academy cruises 

have gone to Hamburg, Lisbon, and Copenhagen in Europe, while the Pacific 

groups have visited New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong. 

On these cruises you will stand the crew's watches on your ships, applying 

much of what you have learned in your professional courses during plebe 

year. Similarly, when you go on your first class cruise, the summer before 

your last year at the Academy you will have an opportunity to stand the 

watches of a junior officer, applying again a portion of your professional 

training and education. 

These ties between practical work at sea and academic work at Annapolis 

are symbolic of the balance between training and education that is at the 

heart of the Annapolis program. 

Professionalism 

This is the word used at Annapolis today to express the overall excellence 

that has been our ideal since the founding of the Academy more than a century and a quarter ago. It expresses many things- but at the heart of it is the 

desire for service to country with which this chapter started. The midshipmen 

themselves have a good phrase they use when asked if a particular person 

should come to the Academy. They say, "You have to want it." That really 

says it all. 

It's up to you.

Through the years 1845 to 1972, as the nation's responsibilities and need for 

seapower have grown, 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 

professional leadership and performance expected in the United States Navy. 

The Naval Academy was founded as the Naval School tn 1845 by the 

Honorable George Bancroft, distinguished historian and educator, and Secretary of the Navy in President James K. Polk's Cabinet. It was located in 

Annapolis, Maryland, on the 10-acre site of the Army's nearly abandoned 

Fort Severn, where the Severn River empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Commander Franklin Buchanan was the first Superintendent of the Naval School. 

His seven-member faculty of four officers and three civilians taught gunnery, 

naval tactics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, French, and 

English. Sixty midshipmen, comprising two classes, attended the Academy's 

first convocation 

In 1850· 51, the Naval School was reorganized as the U. 5. Naval Academy, 

and the course of study was spread over four academic years. Summer cruises 

provided the midshipmen with seagoing experience to augment their classroom 

work. Thus, today's basic four-yea r curriculum and summer cruise program 

first appeared at the Naval Academy well over 100 years ago. 

During the Civil War, the Brigade of Midshipmen was moved temporarily 

to the more secure surroundings of Newport, Rhode Island. Following the 

war, the Brigade returned to Annapolis to stay During these early years, the 

Academy was one of the few institutions in America offering a sophisticated, 

technical undergraduate program. 

In the late 1870s, Albert A. Michelson, a graduate of the Class of 1873, 

performed his world-famous measurement of the velocity of light while 

serving as an instructor in the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the 

Academy Michelson continued his brilliant scientific work after leaving the 

13 
Mubl11pmttn'1 quarl('fl, 

18&0'• 

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

work. Thus, it is not surprising that the science wing of the Academy's recently-completed science and mathematics building complex is named Michelson Hall. 

Other distinguished graduates include Alfred Thayer Mahan, whose profound writings on seapower and its inAuence on history are still the world 

standard in the field, and a succession of renowned military leaders in peace 

and war for over 100 years. Admirals Dewey, Sims, King, Nimitz, Halsey, 

Spruance, and Burke need no introduction. The successors and heirs to their 

greatness are midshipmen today. 

Following accreditation of the Naval Academy in 1930 by the Association 

of American Universities, a Congressional law was passed in 1932 authorizing 

the Academy to confer the Bachelor of Science degree upon all graduates, 

beginning with the Class of 1931. In 1939, Congress authorized the awarding of the 8.5. degree to all living graduates. The Middle States Association 

14 
Boat drill, 1890', of Colleges and Secondary Schools first accredited the Academy in 1947. 

And, in 1958, the tests of the College Entrance Examination Board replaced 

Academy-prepared entrance examinations. 

The Immediate Graduate Education Program was initiated in the fall of 

1966 to provide the opportunity for qualified midshipmen to continue their 

studies immediately after graduation in accelerated master's programs at 

participating universities or at the Naval Postgraduate School. Also in 1%6, 

an Academic Advisory Board of distinguished Americans was appointed by 

the Secretary of the Navy to advise and counsel the Superintendent on 

academic matters. 

Yard and Facilities 

Long recognized as one of the most beautiful of our historic landmarks 

along the eastern seaboard, the Naval Academy was designated a U. 5. 

National Historic Site in 1963. Each year over one million visitors tour the 

15 Follou,in,c pagt 

At>rraf ottt.o of Naval Acadf'my and (1nHO Ac1tdrmy, 190~ 


grounds and buildings of the Academy. Everyone is welcome during daylight 

hours, and a visitors' service providing guided tours, maps, and information 

is available. Annapolis ,s less than an hour's drive from Washington, D.C., 

or Baltimore, Maryland. 

Physical and academic facilities have kept pace with the demands of the 

curriculum and the Fleet. The original ten acres have grown to today's 302 

acres. Much of this acreage increase has resulted from a series of landfills in 

the Severn River A recent landfill, completed in 1959, added 56 acres for 

athletic fields and new buildings. Construction of a number of buildings in 

use today began in 1899 with a Congressional appropriation of ten million 

dollars. Ernest Flagg was the architect; the st vie is French Renaissance. 

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

midshipmen's dorm,torv, the construction of a Brigade library and assembly 

hall, the construction of an athletic field house large enough to accommodate the entire 4,200-man Brigade of \l!iJshipmen and the families and 

friends of first classmen at graduation time; and the construction, with 

privately donated funds, of the nearby Navy-Manne Corps Memorial Stadium. 

A multimillion-dollar renovation of Bancroft Hall was completed in 1965 

Sharing the spotlight with other impressive buildings in the Yard is the 

chapel, with ,ts towering dome, beneath which lies the crypt of John Paul 

Jones Throughout the Yard stand other monuments and mementoes commemorating the deeds of our great naval heroes and celebrating the Navy's 

finest traditions 

Cu_rrently, a seventv-three-million-dollar construclton and rehabilitation 

plan 1s underway. Key strullures in this plan are the new science building, 

Michelson Hall, and the ad1oining mathematics bu1ld1ng, Chauvenet Hall. 

Both were completed in 1968. A 750,000-volume library and an engineering 

building and laboratory complex are under construction. 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 air-conditioned. 

The center of m1dsh1pman activity in today's Yard 1s Bancroft Hall, the 

largest dormitory complex in the world. Stretching over many acres, it houses 

the complete Brigade. All of the basic facilities needed for daily living, as well 

as many for recreation, are found in Bancroft Hall. Press shops provide rapid 

service on midshipmen uniforms which the tailor shops keep fitted and repaired Barber shops manage nearly 4,000 haircuts cverv week. The m,dship18

men's store is the place to buy daily necessities and an occasional gift. There 

are small Protestant and Catholic chapels, with chaplains' offices adjoining. 

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 4,500-calorie daily diet in stride. 

Laundry and dry cleaning services are provided There is a cobbler shop, a 

post office, a library, an assembly hall, a bookstore, and the midshipmen's 

radio station. For recreation, there are bowling alleys, squash courts, clubrooms, a photo laboratory, and a band room. On weekends, Memorial Hall 

and Smoke Hall provide attractive settings for informal dancing, and the 

Steerage, or soda fountain, provides an area where midshipmen may relax 

with their dates.

III : Life at Annapolis 

Acadrnty c/a,, of 13~2 

Mission 

The Naval Academy is charged with the responsibility of preparing midshipmen for service as commissioned officers in the U. 5. Navy or Manne Corps. 

In fulfillment of this responsibility, the staff and faculty must ensure not only 

that the academic program is of the highest quality but also that midshipmen 

are imbued with the finest sense of duty, honor, and loyalty, and that they 

are physically prepared for the rigors of commissioned service. This is a 

threefold mission that requires careful organi1ation and a clear set of priorities. 

During the academic year, first priority is given to studies and each midshipman has ample time for out-of-classroom study and research. On weekdays, following the last class of the day, midshipmen participate in intramural 

or varsity sports and other extra-curricular activities. 

During the summer months the emphasis swings to professional training 

and upperclassmen engage in a program of summer cruises at sea or training 

and indoctrination visits to select naval training activities. Upon completion 

of the assigned summer training program upperclassmen enjoy an extended 

leave period 

Organization 

To accomplish the uniquely military aspects of the Naval Academy's mission, 

the student body is organized into the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Commandant of M1dsh1pmen, a rear admiral or a senior Navy captain, commands 

the Brigade He 1s responsible for instilling high ideals of duty, honor, and 

loyalty, for providing military indoctrination and physical development, and 

for inculcating midshipmen with the desire to acbieve the high standards of 

performance required of midshipmen and officers of the naval service In 

21 
carrying out these responsibilities the Commandant is assisted by an immediate staff, designated the Office of the Commandant, and six subordinate 

departments or groups of officers. The Office of the Commandant is composed 

of the Deputy Commandant, the Executive Assistant to the Commandant, 

and three subordinate divisions. Operations, Administration, and First Lieutenant. The six departments reporting to the Commandant, each with a 

functional area of responsibility, include the Medical Department, the Physical Education Department, the Dental Department, the Midshipman Supply 

Department, the Brigade Chaplains, and the Brigade Officers. 

The Brigade Officers consist of six Battalion Officers, officers of the grade 

of Navy commander or Manne Corps lieutenant colonel; and 36 Company 

Officers, 1'.avy lieutenants and lieutenant commanders and Manne Corps 

captains and m,1jors. These officers work and live in close daily contact with 

the midshipmen in Bancroft Hall. Here, by precept and example, the application of sound techniques of leadership, counsel, and guidance, and, when 

required, corrective or disciplinary action, the midshipman is measured, 

molded, and motivated for the dav when he will join the Navy or the Marine 

Corps as a commissioned officer. 

For purposes of military training and administration, the 4,200-man Brigade 

of Midshipmen is divided into two regiments, each of which is divided into 

three battalions. The six battalions are each divided into six companies. Midshipmen of all four classes are assigned to each company, which is the basic 

military and organizational unit for numerous competitive activities during 

the year. 

Each of these military units, from the Brigade down to the 36 companies 

and their subordinate platoons, is under the command of a first classman, 

aided by his midshipmen staff and assistants. Midshipmen are selected by 

the Brigade Officers for these commands and staffs on the basis of their 

demonstrated proficiency in leadership and their other officer-like qualities. 

Years of Development 

The incoming midshipmen are officially designated midshipmen fourth class, 

but are traditionally known as plebes. In succeeding years, they become 

third classmen or youngsters, then second classmen, and finally, in their 

senior year, midshipmen first class. 

22 
--

----

tll 
Plebe Year. The new midshipman undergoes a comprehensive program of 

military training and indoctrination from his first day at the Academy until 

the end of plebe year on graduation day the following June. Demands upon 

him and his spare time, all with good reason, seem never-ending. Each midshipman quickly learns during this period that he is a learning subordinate, 

under close supervision and careful guidance. Plebe indoctrination is administered by midshipmen of the first class, assisted by the second classmen, and 

closely supervised by the Commandant and the Brigade Officers. 

Although some form of military training is found at many American colleges and universities, the rigorous routines and challenges of a plebe indoctrination system are unique to the Service Academies. Complementing 

other phases of midshipmen training and education, the system directly 

supports the Naval Academy's mission by developing leadership abilities and 

a basic understanding or military relationships and the military environment. 

I ts aim is to teach each plebe to: 

Exercise self-discipline, 

Organize his time and effort effectively, 

Perform efficiently under stress, 

Think and react quickly with good judgment, 

Exhibit an exemplary military bearing and appearance. 

Plebe year is designed to test and develop. It is a deliberate period of testing, requiring a midshipman to stand on his own feet, to produce under pressure, to respond promptly and intelligently to orders and, finally, to measure 

up to the highest standards of character, honor, and morality. 

The first day of plebe summer is a day that most midshipmen will remember for many years. This is scarcely surprising, for in one short day, civilians 

become midshipmen. They are given haircuts, issued uniforms, taught the 

basics of marching, and served their first meal in the vast midshipmen's mess 

hall. Their military indoctrination gets off to a fast start, but they are too 

busy to have time 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. 5. Marines, sailing Navy yawls, and cruising 

in yard patrol craft make the midshipman a proudly versatile young man. 

Team spirit and the desire to win are developed through competition in a 

24 
1 

' 
wide range of activities, including athletics, dress parades, seamanship, and 

talent shows. 

Plebe summer terminates in late August with Parents' Weekend, when 

parents of the new midshipmen have the opportunity to visit the Academy. 

A dress parade, exhibitions in sports, and the opportunity to go sailing with 

their sons help to assure parents that their sons are taking their new life as 

midshipmen in stride. 

September arrives. Upperclassmen return from at-sea training, leave, and 

other summer activities. The academic year gets underway. Four years of 

intense and interesting 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 out-of-town 

games. The entire Brigade attends home games, and, at the end of the season, 

travels to Philadelphia for the annual donnybrook with the Black Knights of 

the Hudson, the cadets of West Point. 

Christmas brings a two-weeks' leave, which provides plebes with the first 

opportunity to visit their homes since their arrival at the Naval Academy in 

June, and gives all midshipmen a welcome break in the academic routine. 

Classes resume in early January, followed by examinations near the end of 

the month. Exams are followed by a three-day leave period and the start of 

the second semester. Five days of leave break the academic routine over the 

Easter weekend. 

The approaching end of plebe year brings mixed emotions. A feeling of 

relief that it is almost over- yes; yet, at the same time, there are welldeserved feelings of confidence and pride that the challenge has been met. 

Third Class Year. At the end of June Week, the first year of intensive indoctrination is ended, and the new third classmen depart on two months of 

training at sea with the Fleet, accompanied by midshipmen of the first class. 

Sea training is followed by 30 days of leave. 

During his first taste of life at sea in the Navy, the midshipman comes to 

know and respect the Navy's enlisted men whom he will later command and 

upon whom he will depend as an officer. He serves in many capacities and 

actively participates in a wide range of shipboard operations. He stands deck, 

gunnery, operations, and engineering watches; he operates ship's boats, and 

exercises at general shipboard drills. 

26 

With the completion of at-sea training and summer leave, third classmen 

return to the Academy to begin their second academic year. And, although 

the new year brings more responsibilities in infantry drills and in watchstanding, the lessened emphasis on indoctrination leaves more time for sports 

and other extracurricular activities. It is a welcome and deserved change! 

Following the completion of academic study during third class year and 

the end of their second June Week, the third classmen become second classmen. 

Second Class Year. During a fast-moving summer, the class undertakes professional studies at the Naval Academy and receives familiarization training 

in the four warfare spec1alt1es which comprise the naval service. At the Naval 

Academy he receives an indoctrination to the submarine service through lectures and visits on board submarines of the U. 5. Atlantic Fleet. Traveling to 

Newport, Rhode Island, the new second classman attends a familiarization 

course at the U. 5. Naval Destroyer School and visits destroyers homeported 

there. Flight indoctrination in naval training and operational aircraft at Pensacola, Florida, provides a knowledge of the duties of an officer choosing a 

career in naval aviation. Introduction to the techniques of vertical envelopment and amphibious assault, provided by the Marine Corps at one of their 

major training facilities, completes the summer's professional training. 

Following summer leave, as the second class midshipmen return to the 

Academy to begin their third academic year, still greater military responsibilities become theirs. M1dsh1pmen officers are selected and trained to direct 

the Brigade during periodic absences of the first class. 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 classmen's growth as 

leaders. There is little time for watching the calendar. And, before long, another June Week has come and gone, and first class year is underway. 

First Class Year. During their last summer, all first classmen go to sea with 

the Fleet and assume junior officer responsibilities in their assigned ships. 

Most members of the first class assist in the training of third classmen on 

board specially designated Naval Academy cruise ships. Others, carefully 

chosen, also take part in the training and indoctrination of the new plebe 

class at Annapolis, in addition to their regular summer cruise assignment 

28 

On board the cruise ships the first classman stands the watches and performs the duties of a commissioned naval officer and is exposed to the social 

courtesies, amenities, and customs of wardroom life. Work in navigation, 

watch-standing on the bridge, exercises in the combat information center and 

in the engineering spaces, and lectures and studies on other aspects of shipboard life complete the summer's training with the Fleet. 

Normally, midshipmen train at sea en route to and in foreign waters, and 

thus they visit a number of foreign ports. In recent years, ships have visited 

Japan, Hong Kong, and Hawaii in the Pacific; Naples, Athens, and Gibraltar 

in the Mediterranean; anq Portsmouth, Hamburg, and Oslo in Northern 

Europe. 

The important responsibility assigned the first class in directing the Brigade of Midshipmen has been previously noted. Midshipmen officers, called 

stripers, 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. The selection of three sets of midshipmen officers during 

each academic year increases the individual opportunity for this valuable 

leadership experience. The third, or final, set of stripers is selected by the 

Commandant from among the most capable midshipmen in the first two. 

In carrying out these demanding responsibilities, the first class midshipman finds himself calling upon all the leadership skills he has developed 

during his first three years. Thus, following this final year of practical experience, graduation finds him well prepared to assume his leadership responsibilities in the Navy or the Marine Corps as a newly commissioned officer. 

The Professional Training Program 

The Commandant directs the Academy's professional training program. The 

program encompasses a wide range of professional training and drills, and is 

designed to provide graduates with a sound foundation in the fundamental 

specialized subjects and skills required of a professional naval or Marine 

Corps officer. 

Over 2,000 hours are devoted to building this foundation during the midshipman's four years at the Academy. A midshipman's class standing at 

graduation depends significantly on his professional training performance. 

30 
Included in the program are lectures, practical training, physical education, 

,ind a variety of evolutions and drills 1n which the midshipmen learn by 

doing. Progressing from basic militarv and naval knowledge to the presentation of more ,1dv,rnced information and concepts, the program supports and 

complements both the militar) life within the Brigade and the professionallyoriented alademic courses. A description of the courses drills, and training 

making up the professional training program begins on page 125. 

Leave and Privileges 

The amount of personal freedom and the privileges granted a midshipman 

vary direllly with his seniority, his responsibility, and his performance A 

first classman not only will have more responsibility in the administration 

of the Brigade, but he will also have more privileges. Proficiency in academic 

work and in military aptitude is also rewarded with extra privileges. 

There are several regular periods of leave of absence from the Academy 

during the year. These indude Christmas leave, a period of about two weeks, 

end-of-semester leave, a three-day break at the end of the first semester in 

January; spring leave, a period of about five days, including Easler Weekend , and the month-long summer leave for the three new upper classes. 

In addition to leave, midshipmen are granted liberty in the Annapolis area.

out the administrative functions of the Brigade. Additional weekends may 

be granted to midshipmen of the second and third classes for noteworthy 

academic performance or other individual achievements. 

Physical Education 

In supporting the mission of the Naval Academy, the program of the Physical 

Education Department makes a vital contribution to the physical development 

of midshipmen. The program continues throughout the four years. All midshipmen participate. 

The program's aims are to develop skiU, 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 background and capability to withstand physical hardship. EquaUy 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 carry-over sports for enjoyment after graduation. 

The program gets off to a fast start during plebe summer. Preliminary 

testing of posture, swimming capability, and general athletic ability is followed by instruction and practice in boxing, wrestling, lacrosse, fenci ng, 

soccer, gymnastics, crew, golf, tennis, squash racquets, volleyball, and track. 

The pace continues during the first academic year. Instruction is given in 

swimming, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, golf, personal conditioning, squash 

racquets, tennis, and volleyball. In addition, midshipmen develop their skills 

in basketball, handball, and bowling, and they are tested in applied strength, 

agility, swimming, boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics. 

The final three years provide increasingly advanced instruction and demanding tests. For additional details of the Physical Education Department 

and its program, refer to page 133. 

Medical and Dental Care 

The finest medical and dental care is provided each midshipman. Facilities 

in Bancroft Hall are modern and extensive. Daily sick calls, when necessary, 

and periodic physical and dental examinations help keep midshipmen in ex36 
cellent health. If hospitalization is necessary, there are the more complete 

facilities of the Naval Hospital at the Academy as well as those of the nearby 

Naval Hospital at the world-famous National Naval Medical Center in 

Bethesda, Maryland. 

legal Assistance 

Midshipmen are provided professional legal advice and assistance for problems of a personal nature by the Legal Assistance Officer in his professional 

capacity as a lawyer in uniform. His office is located in the Administration 

Building. 

37 

Religious Activities 

The copper-green dome of the chapel towers over the other buildings at the 

Naval Academy and, 111 a sense, acts as a symbol of Annapolis to the outside 

world. This is no accident Over the decades of American history, fighting 

men have learned by experience that there 1s a dimension to combat leadership which can never be understood by those who have not experienced itthis is the spiritual factor, the intangible thing we call courage. 

What 1s it that causes men to exhibit bravery in the face of danger? Where 

do they turn for help and reassurance before the battle? The answers to these 

questions vary for each individual who goes into combat- there are perhaps 

as many answers as there are individual fighting men. 

An awareness of these varying needs for assistance in time of stress and 

danger is an essential dimension of effective officership. It is a major reason 

why the Naval Academy has long had a program designed to produce an 

appreciation in its graduates of the spiritual and moral dimensions of military 

leadership. 

The Naval Academy recognizes that different men want to approach their 

appreciation from different directions. Some will prefer a program of their 

own traditional faith pursued at one of the local churches in Annapolis. 

Others will prefer the Academy's own chapel with Protestant and Catholic 

services featuring nationally-famous guest preachers and lecturers. Midshipmen whose personal beliefs, based upon sincere conviction, conflict with 

attendance at religious or formal worship exercises to the extent that the 

purpose of such attendance cannot be realized, may be authorized to attend 

secular sessions which are designed to promote an understanding of the 

spiritual and moral dimensions of military leadership. 

A wide choice is offered, but the Academy requires weekly participation in 

some part of this program by each midshipman. This should be understood 

by all young men seeking to enter Annapolis. 

The Navy has never required prior commitment to a Navy career from 

young men who want to attend the Academy. But it must insist that they 

understand the moral responsibility of commanding other men.

IV: The Naval Profession 

M1dtl11pmon rru1u, 1~2 

Ours 1s a complex Navy- one whose ships range every ocean, whose officers 

and men not only sad the seas but are also engaged in research and construction from the tropics to the poles, whose supersonic planes have provided 

the training 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 Mannes stand second to none 

when tales of valor are told. Though ours is a vastlv complicated and technological Navy, 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 1s a Navy with a proud past and a promising future, broad enough 

to provide a stimulating challenge in a wide spectrum of interesting fields. 

After four intensive years of learning at Annapolis, the Naval Academy 

graduate is ready to assume the responsibilit,es of an officer in the greatest 

Navy or the finest Marine Corps in the world 

First Duty 

An Annapolis graduate's first career opportunity comes in his choice of duty 

following graduation. The priority assigned his individual preference is dependent upon a number of factors, including his class standing, the needs 

of the Navy, and his personal qualifications. Every attempt is made to assign 

him to the duty and locality he requests. 

Whatever his initial operational duty, he will usually find that his responsibilities are greater than those of his contemporaries in civilian life. Most 

Naval Academy graduates are commissioned as ensigns in the line and are, 

thus, headed ultimately for command at sea As a matter of policy the great 

ma1ority of graduates initially go to sea in a combatant-type surface shipi.e., aircraft carrier, cruiser, destroyer, or amph1b1ous warfare ship. A certain 

percentage of the graduates may volunteer and be selected for warfare specialties or programs, such as aviation, nuclear power (either submarine or 

surface), and special warfare. 

41 
teh: 

Prospective aviators go to sea with the Fleet for 6 to 15 months before 

entering flight training. Most of those selected for the nuclear power program 

go directly to nuclear power school following graduation, the others follow 

within a few months. Graduate programs leading to advanced degrees are 

available to a small number of new graduates. Normally these special programs will follow a short tour of sea duty. 

A maximum of 16 percent of Annapolis graduates may volunteer for appointment in the Marine Corps as second lieutenants and must complete 

basic training before joining regular Marine units or commencing Aight 

training. 

A small number are commissioned on graduation in the Civil Engineer 

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 assignments. The Engineering Duty Officers (specialists in such fields as ship and aircraft design, 

construction and maintenance, o rdnance, electronics, etc.) will normally serve 

on board ship before returning to graduate study. Graduates commissioned 

as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps complete basic training before 

joining regular Marine units or beginning Aight training. 

Officer Career Patterns 

Within the framework of the needs of the service, an officer determines his 

own career pattern to a significant degree through his requests for assignments aAoat and ashore, his advanced studies, and, of course, by his performance. After his initial tour at sea, the young officer has a fairly well 

developed idea of what career pattern he would like to follow. line officers 

seek sea duty assignments that will prepare them for command of a surface 

ship, submarine, or aircraft squadron. Tours at sea are alternated with shore 

duty. Graduate studies provide line officers with sub-specialties which are 

generally exercised during assignments ashore. These sub-specialties include 

such va ried fields as naval intelligence, oceanography, communications, meteorology, nuclear engineering, aeronautical engineering, management, international relations, and personnel administration. Officers aspiring to command at sea will serve in a variety of ships or aircraft squadrons in different 

capacities, as well as in staff and planning billets aAoat and ashore, in the 

United States and overseas. 

42

It is at once a satisfying and a demanding life. The naval or Marine Corps 

officer presents many faces to the world: professional sailor, Marine, aviator, 

engineer, scientist, administrator, diplomat, or educator. His is not just a job, 

but a way of life- a career dedicated to the service of the United States and 

its people, carrying with it high professional prestige and opportunities for 

broad experience, a career which rewards the industrious, the loyal, and the 

imaginative. It is a career for those with a zeal for strenuous living, patriotism, and dedication lo an ideal of real meaning, a meaning which can be 

translated into a lifetime of adventure and service in the Navy or Marine 

Corps of the United States. 

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 

ability, initiative, energy, and resourt:efulness, commensurate with logical 

career planning and execution. 

The Naval Academy is considered but the first step on the educational 

ladder, and so the Navy and Marine Corps sponsor a wide variety of graduate 

programs at both naval and civilian institutions, designed to prepare the 

officer for higher responsibilities. This move toward graduate education begins 

before graduation for midshipmen who are selected for scholarships in civilian 

universities or for Navy-sponsored graduate programs. 

Navy functional and basic technical courses provide the initial post-commissioning training for many officers. Mostly of short duration, they are in 

such fields as communications, gunnery, antisubmarine warfare, damage 

control, electronics, and amphibious warfare. 

After the first tour (two to four years) of operational duty with the Fleet, 

many qualified Naval Academy graduates may expect orders to graduate 

study for one or more years. The variety of fields available include mathematics, physics, general science, nuclear and aeronautical engineering, oceanography, management, political science, international relations, naval intelligence, and others. For the best-qualified, the way is open to a doctorate. 

Courses are conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Cali46 
- - -

fornia; the Naval Intelligence School, Washington, D C., the Test Pilot 

School, Patuxent River, Maryland, and at various ovilian institutions such as 

The Carnegie Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 

M I.T., Pnnceton, Stanford, and Tulane. 

Opportunities for graduate work continue throughout an officer's career. 

Senior war colleges in 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 

must, of necessity, continue to grow intellectually and thus he will be a student during all of his professional life Appendix G is a brief summary of 

graduate study opportunities offered by the Navy and Marine Corps. 

The ever-increasing importance of our Navy m defense of this country 

and fulfillment of our national policy commitments has opened the way for 

an unprecedented number of career opportunities for a naval or Marine 

Corps officer. Fleet and field operational experience continues to be an important constant in the career pattern, but the need for specialists trained in 

technical fields, governmental affairs, education, training, or managerial skills 

expands at a rate that can be satisfied only by a commitment of the Navy to 

the concept of an educated officer This commitment has been made and reaffirmed at every level of leadership in the Department of the Navy A career 

officer becomes a part of this commitment and he can be assured that his profossional talents and intellectual ability will be enhanced by advanced education and assignments that challenge his interests and capabilities.

V: Admissions 

Plf'bu mat1 knockabouh, J028 

Each year, the Naval Academy selects approximately 1,300 young men for 

admission to the plebe (freshman) class. These young men come from every 

state in the Union and from backgrounds reflecting every facet of American 

life. The Naval Academy encourages this diversity and recognizes the value 

and promise of a Brigade enriched by a membership of men representing 

every race, creed, color, and background found in this nation. Certain general 

eligibility requirements for candidates do exist. A candidate must be a male, 

at least 17 years of age, and he must not have reached his 22nd birthday by 

1 July in the year of admission. He must never have been married and, except 

for limited quotas of foreign midshipmen specifically authorized by Congress, 

he must be a citizen of the United States. 

Meeting these requirements, an interested young man must then proceed 

to obtain a nomination, qualify medically, and compete for selection. The 

Admissions Board examines each candidate's school records, College Board or 

ACT scores, recommendations from school officials, extracurricular activities, 

and other evidence of his character, leadership potential, academic aptitude 

and achievement, and physical fitness. Qualification for admission is based on 

consideration of all of the above factors. 

High School Program 

Candidates are expected to have pursued studies in high school that will prepare them for a rigorous college program. The quality of the work is important. The great majority of young men accepted for admission to Annapolis 

come from the top 20 percent of their high school classes, and chances for 

admission are very limited for those who stand below the top 40 percent. 

While the Academy does not have rigid requirements concerning the subjects 

which must be included in the school record, candidates are strongly urged to 

include the following subjects in their high school or prep school curricula: 

49 
Mathema tics 4 years, including trigonometry, English-4 years, Modern 

language- 2 years, Chemistry-I year, Physics- I year. 

A small percentage of each plebe class will have had at least one semester 

of college work prior to admission to Annapolis. All such students must enter 

the Academy as plebes. The Adm1ss1ons Board requires that applicants furnish transcripts of any college work they have taken. 

Tests 

Either the American College Testing Program (ACT) or selected College 

Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) tests are required of all candidates. The 

selected CEEB tests required are the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Achievement Test in [nglish Composition and Mathematics (level I or level II). 

These tests may be taken at any time they are offered, but not later than 

January of the calendar year of admission to Annapolis. 

Arrangements to take the ACT or College Board tests can be made through 

a high school guidance counselor or by writing directly to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540; or Box 

1025, Berkeley, California Q4701; or to the Registration Department, American 

College Testing Program, P. 0. Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. 

Some Congressmen and other authorized nominators use competitive examinations of the U. 5. Civil Service Commission solely to assist them in 

evaluating and selecting their candidates. These special competitive examinations are a tool to assist in the nomination process, but they do not determine 

a candidate's scholastic qualifications for admission to the Academy. The 

Naval Academy requirements for the ACT or CEEB tests must still be met.

Obtaining a omination 

A young man must obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment 

as a midshipman. It is advisable to apply for nominat10n during the spring 

,._ of one's junior year in high school, because many members of Congress 

evaluate candidates during the summer months and some nominate in early 

fall Most candidates will be notified of their nomin<111on bv the end of January during their senior year. There are many sources of nomination and the 

young man should apply to all sources for which he is eligible, which always

Congressional Nominating Procedures 

For each vacancy he has at the Academy, a Congressman may nominate ten 

candidates. He may designa te them as 'principal," "1st alternate," ":?nd 

alternate," and so on to "9th alterna te"; he may nominate a principal and 

nine competitive alternates, for evaluation bv the Naval Academy, or he may 

simply nominate a slate of ten competitors to be evaluated by the Na\·al 

Academy for the vacancy. In all cases, the vacancy ts filled by the top man 

on the list who is accepted for admission by the Naval Academy but this does 

not mean that the others are no longer considered. In fact, all ten nominees 

may be accepted for admission as qualified alternates or qualified competitors. 

Admission of Qualified Alternates and Competitors 

Each year the Na, al Academy admits several hundred qualified alternates and 

qualified competitors to bring the entering class to the desired number. Thus, 

52 
• 

d young man nominated by a Member of Congr<'ss, but not ,1ppointed to fill 

his vacancy, 1s still considered on a competitiv<' basis for Annapolis, if he is 

qualified No special application is necessary, as all qualified candidates will 

be considered automatically. 

Readmission of Former Midshipmen 

In addition to obtaining a new nomination and completing the other normal 

admission requirements, approval of the Academic Board is required for readmission of former midshipmen Requests should be addressed to the Dean 

of Admissions. 

Medical Examination 

Candidates must pass a very thorough medical examination. Healthy young 

men with normal vision usually experience little difficulty in passing this 

examination. The visual requirement is 20 20 each eye, uncorrected. A 

limited number of candidates whose vision is without excessive refractive 

errors, and will correct to 20/20 with glasses, will be considered for waiver 

of visual acuity by the Naval Academy. No special application for a waiver 

is necessary, as all candidates otherwise qualified are considered automatically. See Eyes and Vision, Appendix B, for a technical description of acceptable refractive error. 

Although all candidates will be scheduled for this examination at the 

nearest military examining center shortly after notification of nomination, a 

complete preliminary examination by private phys1c1an and dentist to spot 

obviously disqualifying defects is recommended. Medical requirements are set 

forth in Appendix B to serve as a guide to pnvate physJCians and dentists. 

otification of Admission 

Candidates are notified of their acceptance or re1ection for admission on a 

continuing basis from 15 October to 15 April 

The new class is admitted in early July 

Pay and Expenses 

The pay of the midshipman is $265.50 per month, commencing on the date of 

his admission. This salary permits him to pay his own expenses; i.e., for uni53 
•• forms, books, equipment, laundry, income lax, and spending money while '---.;,.--=-...----- at the Naval Academy. On graduation day, the average midshipman will have 

accrued savings of approximately $1,500.00 in his account in addition to a 

complete seabag of required officer uniforms. 

Before being admitted as a midshipman, each candidate must deposit with 

the midshipmen's storekeeper the sum of $300, to be used in partial payment for 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 individual's account reaches prescribed levels. The 

amount deposited is not refunded, but is expended at entrance for clothing, 

uniforms, etc., which become the property of the midshipman. 

The regulation entrance outfit, plus the additional uniforms, clothing, textbooks, and expenses required the first year, are valued at approximately 

$1,600. The deposit made at the time of entrance is supplemented by an entrance credit of $600 upon first admission to 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 $30 from the 

midshipman's pay, beginning in October of the second year at the Naval 

Academy and continuing until the indebtedness is liquidated. 

Service Obligation 

Candidates entering the Naval Academy from civilian life, who have not 

previously acquired a m,htary obligation, w,ll automatically do so upon 

acceptance of appointment as midshipmen at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Under Section 651 of Title 10, U. S. 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 V.A.l. of Department of Defense Directive 1332.23 of 9 May 1968 includes appointees 

to the service academies among those who are subject to the six-year obligation Of this six-year obligation, five years are to be served as a commissioned 

officer on active duty. 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 in the status of midshipmen, except for physical disability or because 

of the acceptance of a commission. (Act of 25 June 1956, 1-2, re-enacted 1 O 

U. S. Code 516.) 

54 
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. 

Agreement Signed by Entering Midshipmen 

Upon admission, each midshipman who is a citizen of the United States will 

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

if a minor, that he will fulfill these obligations: 

He will complete the Academy course of instruction (unless he is disenrolled from the Academv by competent authority). 

He will accept an appointment and serve as a commissioned officer on 

active duty in the U. 5. Navy or U. 5. Marine Corps for at least five years 

immediately after graduation. 

If authorized to resign from the Regular Navy before the sixth anniversary 

of his graduation, he will serve as a commissioned officer in the Naval Reserve 

until the sixth anniversary. 

Resignations and Separations 

Fourth and third classmen (freshmen and sophomores): A resignation tendered by a fourth or third classman (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. 

Second and first classmen : After the commencement of his 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, will normally be transferred to the Naval Reserve in an enlisted 

status and be ordered to active duty for not less than two years under the 

provisions of Title 10, U. 5. Code 6959b. Where separation occurs as a result 

of deficiencies that a re not considered willful, the active duty provision may 

be waived. 

Refusal to accept commission: Any first classman who completes the 

55 
course of instruction and declines to accept an appointment as a commissioned 

officer will be transferred to the Reserve component in an appropriate enlisted 

status and ordered to active duty for four years. 

A midshipman who is separated after having entered the Naval Academy 

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 him from transfer 

to a Reserve component and call to active duty in accordance with Title 10, 

U. 5. Code 6959b. 

Officers of the armed services serve at the pleasure of the President o 

terminal dates are established for their commissions.

Academy that a great many misconceptions exist concerning admission proledures, methods of obtain:ng nominations, qualifications, and other factors pertaining to selection 

and admission. The following questions are those most 

often asked by prospecti\'e candidates and the answers 

may help you to clear up any doubts or misunderstandings 

you may have concerning this all important subject. 

Q. l\'lio rn11 hecomt.' a midsliipm,111? 

A. Admission is open to young men of good moral character, without regard to race, creed or national origin. 

Candidates must be male citi7ens of the United States, 

never married, who are at least 17 years of age but not 

past their 22nd birthday on 1 July of the year of admission. 

Q. IV/iat must I do to become ,1 midsliipm,111' 

A. Obtain a nomination, qualify scholasticallv (acceptable entrance examination scores either American College 

Testing Program (ACT) tests or College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), SAT and Achie\'ement tests in 

mathematics and English; acceptable secondary SLhool record, including college-preparatory work; top 40 percent of 

class), and meet prescribed medical and phys1Lal standards. 

Be selected for an appointment. 

Q. IV/iere may I ol,tai11 detailed i11format1011 on adn11ss1011 req11irenie11ts! 

A. Information mav be obtained from the :\aval Academy Information Officer in your area from high school 

guidance counselors, from vour loc,1I N,wv recruiter or by 

writing to the Candidate Guidance Office, U, S Naval 

Academy, Annapolis \faryland 21402 

Q. I don't know my Co11grt.'s;m,m How do I .~et a 

noniination? 

A. It 1s not necessary to know him personally Apply to 

you r Congressional Representative and to both of your 

Senators by mail, your ag,plication will be considered care-
59 

fully. Each member of Congress is authori2ed to have five 

of his appointees attending the Academy at any one time. 

Each Congressman is authorized to nominate up to ten 

candidates for each vacancy. The essential thing to remember is that, by law, you must have a nomination to be considered for appointment to the Naval Academy. Once you 

are nominated, you officially become a candidate and your 

record is then evaluated by the Naval Academy on its 

merits. Even if you are not selected to fill a Congressman's 

vacancy, if you have one of his nominations and have a 

good school record and otherwise meet the basic entry 

standards, you will have an excellent chance to become a 

midshipman. Each year several hundred of the best qualified alternate Congressional nominees are appointed to the 

Naval Academy by the Secretary of the Navy to bring the 

entering class up to authorized strength. 

Q. I am a member of the Nnval Reserve. How cnn I get 

into the Acndemy? 

A. A minimum of 85 enlisted reservists (Navy and Marine Corps), on active duty or members of drilling units, 

may qualify to enter the Academy each year. See your 

commanding officer for details. 

Q. If I am eligible for both Congressional and Presidential nominations, cnn I req11est nonrination from more tlian 

one source? 

A. Yes, and you should do so. The more nominations you 

obtain, the better chance you will have for selection if you 

are found fully qualified. 

Q. Is it difficult to enter the Academy directly from /1ig/1 

school? 

A. No. Nine out of ten midshipmen enter directly from 

high school or prep school. 

Q. My grades were about average, but I played in several sports and was student body president. Also, I had to 

work after school. Will these activities help me? 
60 

A. Yes. Evidence of leadership ability and participation 

in extracurricular activities, including athletics and parttime Jobs, carries considerable weight in the candidate 

evaluation process. 

Q. I liave a high IQ and am a straight-A student. Will 

most of my time be spent on military subjects, or may I 

take any electives, such as electrical engineering? 

A. From 23 to 38 percent (depending on the major selected) of the Academy's curriculum is devoted to professional military studies; but at the Academy you will complete at least HO rather than the 120 semester hours typical 

of most civilian colleges. You will have a choice of 26 

academic majors, from Far Eastern Studies to Mathematics 

to Electrical Engineering. Advanced research proiects are 

offered in these and many other areas. 

Q. !Vhat part of the medical examination gives the most 

difficulty to candidates 7 

A. The eye examination. Visual acuity of 20 20 is required. However, a limited number of outstanding candidates may be granted waivers for visual acuity if the refractive error is not excessive and the vision is correctable 

to 20/ 20. 

Q. I don't like sports. Do I have to try out for anything? 

A. If you really dislike sports, then the Naval Academy 

may not be the best school for you. A midshipman is required to participate in athletics, either varsity or intramural, for the development of his character, physical fitness, and competitive spirit. 

Q. How much does it cost to be a midshipman at the 

Academy? 

A. Tuition, room and board, and medical and dental care 

are provided by the government. In addition, midshipmen 

receive a $265.35 monthly salary for uniforms, books, and 

personal needs. A $300.00 deposit is required on entry. 
61 

Q. How often may I visit home? 

A. During Christmas and spring leaves. In addition, 

month-long summer leaves are granted to the three upper 

classes. You must pay for your own travel. 

Q. How many f/11nk 011t? 

A. Losses run approximately 33% over the entire 4-year 

program for an average class. About one-third of these are 

academic failures. 

Q. Do I get to fly? 

A. All midshipmen receive flight instruction in naval aircraft during their third summer. After graduation, selected 

volunteers receive flight training leading to designation as 

Naval or Marine Aviators. 

Q. Do I get to choose any of my courses? 

A. Yes, you will choose your major and the majority of 

your courses. 

Q. How much social life wo11ld I have at the Academy? 

A. Social life is limited during the first year. After the 

initial (plebe) year, there is a wide range of social activities available. There are weekend dances and other extracurricular activities at the Academy, and there are opportunities for afternoon liberties in town and for a number 

of weekends away from the Academy. 

Q. I am a high school freshman. When should I start 

preparing myself for the Academy? 

A. Now! Your entire four-year high school record in 

academics and in athletics and other extracurricular activities will be evaluated by the Naval Academy. 

Q. I am in college now. ls it too late to enter the Academy? 

A. No. As long as you will not have passed your 22nd 

birthday on 1 July of the year of admission. Prior college 

work will permit study of advanced courses at the Acad-
62 

emy. Normally, about six percent of the members of each 

entering class have been in a civilian college prior to entering the Naval Academy. 

Q. If I failed to receive 1111 appointment for one class, nm 

I eltg,l,le to apply 11g11in? 

A. Yes. But a candidate who failed to receive an appointment in a previous year must obtain a new nomination in 

order to again become a candidate. 

Q. When should I apply? 

A. Apply to your Representative or Senators for a nomination, whenever possible, in the spring of your junior 

year in high school. If you wait until the spring of your 

senior year, you will not have a chance to receive an appointment to the class that enters in July of the year you 

graduate. 

Q. What is my military ob/ig11tio11 011 graduation? 

A. The total military service obligation of an Academy 

graduate 1s six years. Current directives require five of 

these to be on active duty as a commissioned officer in the 

Navy or Marine Corps. 

Q. Can I become II Navy physician or dentist? 

A. About two percent of each proiected gradua ting class 

·about 17 midshipmen-may major in Biochemistry. Following graduation they are sent to medical school for further study. A ten-year Service obligation is incurred at the 

completion of medical school. It should be emphasized that 

the Academy is probably not the best solution for students 

who aspire specifically to the medical profession, as only 

11 small percentage may pursue the pre-med program at 

Annapolis. 

Q. ,\ly father was 111 the armed forces. Will this help me 

to get II nomi1111t1011? 

A. Sons of career members of the regular and reserve 

forces who are on active duty or who are retired may be 

considered for a nomination under the Presidential category. 
63 

Q. Wlrat types of majors are offered at tire Academy? 

A. The twentv-six majors offered by the Academy include Analytical Management, Aerospace Engineering, History, Ocean Engineering, English, European Studies, Physics, and many others. 

Q. !Vlrere do 1111ds/11μme11 lrve? 

A. They are housed in one burlding, Bancroft Hall, the 

largest dormitory in the world. Bancroft Hall has more 

than 4.8 miles of corrrdors and 33 acres of floor space. 

Each room has its own shower and all rooms have been 

remodeled in recent years. The Midshipmen Mess Hall 

is also located in Bancroft Hall. Here all 4,300 midshipmen 

are able to sit down and eat at one time. The food is served 

family style. Bancroft Hall is named after George Bancroft 

who was Secretary of the Navy when the Naval Academy 

was founded. The Hall contains a store, medical and dental facilities, and a soda fountain, bowling alleys, and 

numerous other recreational facilities.

A. No A Service Academy Qualrfying Medical Examination conducted at any of the examining centers lrsted in 

Appendix C of this catalog is acceptable for all service 

academies. 

Q. Wlrat reasons are gil•e11 most frequently by plebes 

wlto resign from tire Acndemy7 

A. We have found that resigning plebes most frequently 

say. 

(1) They came to the Academy under parental pressure 

After a few weeks as plebes, they feel that they have fulfilled their obligation to their parents and resign 

(2) They came to the Academy with the preconception that 

it is a glamourous place where they may wear uniforms 

occasionally. They did not realize that, in additton to offering a college education, the Naval Academy requires of 

each midshipman a demanding training routine 

~I: The Curriculum Challenge 

Studying in Bancroft Hall, 1935 

The young man entering the Naval Academy can be confident that the professional education and training at Annapolis will give him the knowledge and 

skills he will need to perform his future military duties effectively. The development of professional officers has been central to the objectives of the 

Naval Academy since its founding over 125 years ago. It is today. But today's 

Naval Academy offers considerably more. As a professionally-oriented academic institution, it offers in-depth studies in 26 major programs. The 

curriculum is demanding, and its many choices are designed to challenge each 

midshipman in terms of his own academic aptitudes and interests. 

The day is long past when every line officer could be expected to embody 

all the qualifications and specialties desired or needed in a naval career. Today's Naval Academy, therefore, does not seek to give the same aJl-indusive 

educational package to every graduate. Rather, it undertakes to produce in 

every graduating class a group of individual line officers-all well trained i.n 

basic professional subjects-who collectively possess the wide range of 

knowledge and capabilities demanded of the officers in our modem Navy. 

To attain breadth in his education, each midshipman 111ust satisfy certain 

mi.nimum course requirements in social sciences and humanities, mathematics 

and science. To ensure depth, he completes a major sequence from a variety 

of fields designed to provide him with the academic background necessary for 

effective leadership in today's Navy. Consistent with the Navy's technical 

orientation is the requirement that 40 percent of the midshipmen major in 

one of the engineering disciplines, 30 percent in one of the physical sciences, 

math, or operations analysis, 20 percent in one of the humanities or social 

sciences, and 10 percent i.n analytical management. 

The Navy has an ever-increasing need for officers educated in the engineering disciplines and thus offers extensive opportunities to its officers for graduate work and career specialties or subspecialties jp engineering programs. 

Completion of any engineering major at the Academy, except General Engineering, leads to a designated engineering degree. Additionally, four of the 

65 
engineering programs have been accredited by the Engineers' Council for 

Professional Development. 

Choosing a Major 

The midshipman's choice of a major governs the number of related and 

supporting courses required in science, engineering, mathematics, or foreign 

languages. MaJors in the scientific-technical fields entail more courses, at 

higher levels, in mathematics, science, and engineering, for example, than do 

non-technical maJors. The scientific-technical programs require no foreign 

language. On the other hand, programs in social sciences, international 

studies, and English require a substantial amount of foreign language study, 

but only three semesters of mathematics. 

Some plebes are sure of their study preferences and their academic aptitudes when they first arrive at the Academy. However, a midshipman is 

normally not ready to make a firm major selection at the beginning of his 

plebe year. He may have a general idea of his area of interest, without being 

sure of which major he shoulcl take. He may not yet know whether his 

talents lie in a technical or nontechnical field. And, during his plebe year, he 

may very well discover that his real interests and abilities do not fit the 

requirements of the major fields he first considered. 

For these reasons, selection of a maier is delayed until the close of the 

Common Plebe Year when the midshipman has had nearly two semesters of 

meaningful academic experience in fundamental courses which test his ability 

and help him to evaluate his strengths and weaknesses. 

The Common Plebe Year 

During his first year at the Naval Academy the midshipman is placed in a 

program of study suited to his abilities and academic background. These 

courses are broad enough in scope to provide a sound basis for the selection 

of a major during the latter part of the year. At the same time they contain 

an element of commonality which enables the midshipman to progress into 

any of the 26 majors offered. They include the naval science courses which 

start his professional development. The normal academic load for a plebe 

consists of six courses each semester as follows: 

66 
, 1·'j· -- ~ ... . . 

... :

• 

Fundamentals of Naval Science (first semester) and Introduction to Naval Engineering and Weapons Systems (second semester). These courses provide 

the midshipman with knowledge and skills for practical shipboard use during 

his youngster cruise, the most important event of third-class summer. They 

also serve as preparation for the professional courses and training which come 

during the next three years. 

History. The year's study of the history of sea power is designed to give 

a sense of naval professionalism and an understanding of the role of sea 

power in world affairs. 

Mathematics. A year of calculus provides the requisite mathematical foundation for further study in the various majors. Midshipmen are placed in a 

sequence appropriate to their ability. 

Composition and Literature. This is a general requirement designed to develop the skills in thinking, reading, and writing which are primary tools for 

further education and for professional development. Six different courses are 

offered to ensure that each midshipman gets training in communication skills 

at the level best suited to his needs and stage of development.

67 
Chemistry. A year of study is required in this basic discipline. Midshipmen 

are placed in course sequences of varying difficulty depending upon their 

ability and background 

Computer Science. Each midshipman is introduced to the use of the computer during plebe year. Computers are becoming increasingly important in 

virtually every aspect of the modem Navy, and midshipmen will be expected 

to use them as tools in a number of their Naval Academy courses. 

Advanced Placement 

Prior to entering the Naval Academy, many midshipmen take courses equivalent to those offered or required here Credit may be granted for thtS work 

through validation, a procedure based on examinations given by the appropriate academic departments; consideration of transcripts; and results of 

College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Tests, if available. 

Validators of any of the plebe courses may be enrolled in more advanced 

courses during plebe year, if they desire, or they may elect to carry a lighter 

academic load More than one-half of the members of a plebe class validate at 

least one course 

Counseling and Guidance 

Each midshipman is responsible not only for deciding upon his maior, but 

also for selecting his specific courses and planning his semester schedules. He 

may thus set, within certain limits, the pace of his studies to match his 

capab1ltttes. If he is an average student, for example, he will likely take 

sequential courses as they are laid out for normal progress in a given major 

program If he is ready for advanced placement in some subiects, or is able 

to handle more than the standard number of courses, he may complete his 

requirements more rapidly and gain ltme for more elective courses Some midshipmen may even complete second majors. 

Although decisions regarding his academic program must be his own, the 

m1dsh1pman has ample opportunities for consultation with faculty members. 

During his first few weeks at the Naval Academy, he receives about 20 hours 

of group and individual counseling on all aspects of the curriculum. He takes 

68 
a number of achievement tests to help determine the levels at which he should 

begin his studies. 

Because of the commonality of plebe year, individual academic advisers are 

not assigned to the midshipmen until a major is chosen, normally in the 

spring of plebe year. The midshipman's adviser, a faculty member from the 

department in which he has expressed a particular interest, will help him 

define his study objectives and will offer guidance towards a logical selection 

of courses. In addition to offering guidance in the selection of courses and 

in scheduling, the faculty adviser concerns himself with the midshipman's 

over-all academic progress and any academic problems he may have from 

plebe year through graduation. 

Professional Course Requirements 

A series of professional courses is required for the Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to providing the professional background required of an 

officer during his first few years in the Fleet or the Marine Corps, these 

courses contribute to more effective summer training with the Fleet. Because 

the professional courses required subsequent to plebe year vary slightly, depending on the majors program being followed, those requirements are 

specified with descriptions of the various majors beginning on page 77. 

Distribution Requirements 

To assure a broad general education and to provide a sound background for 

further study in selected majors, midshipmen must satisfy certain distribution 

requirements in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics, science, and 

a modern language. These requirements are specified with descriptions of the 

various majors. 

Academic Organization 

The major areas under the direction of the Academic Dean are organized into 

five divisions-the Divisions of Engineering and Weapons, Mathematics and 

Science, Naval Command and Management, U. 5. and International Studies, 

and English and History-each headed by a Navy captain. The divisions are 

69 
further subdivided into departments, 19 in all, which serve as focal points 

for the administration of the majors program and the continuing review and 

development of the curriculum. The departments are chaired by civilian or 

military members of the faculty. 

Naval Academy Library 

The Naval Academy Library provides midshipmen and faculty members with 

comprehensive library service in support of the curriculum, research, and 

recreational reading programs. A representative book collection is maintained 

in all fields of knowledge, and the library is especially strong in naval science 

and history. In addition, the excellent resources of the [jbraries in the Washington and Baltimore areas are available to midshipmen and faculty through 

interlibrary loans. 

A new library building, currently under construction, will be completed in 

the fall of 1972. The library will house approximately 750,000 volumes 

and accommodate between 1,600 and 1,700 readers, using a combination of 

study tables, study carrels, and lounge furniture. 

The library will contain seminar and group study rooms, faculty studies, 

typing and calculating rooms, over 200 listening stations, and a computer 

terminal room. The Midshipman-Faculty Bookstore, the Academy Archives, 

the Division of English and History, the Educational Resources Center, and 

the Naval Academy Photographic Laboratory will also be housed in the new 

building. Data processing and closed circuit television techniques will be 

applied to library routines, thus providing modern and efficient service to 

midshipmen and faculty members. 

Special Programs 

Trident Scholars. Under the Trident Scholar Program, initiated in 1963, a 

limited number of exceptionally capable midshipmen carry out independent 

research and study during their senior year. Each scholar has a reduced formal course load, since his research and thesis constitute the main part of his 

academic program for the year. He is assisted in his project by one or more 

faculty advisers who are well acquainted with his field of study. 

Immediate Graduate Education Program. Under this program, a limited 

number of outstanding midshipmen may be selected to continue their studies 

70 

without interruption to the master's degree level. They attain their degrees 

within nine to twelve months in accelerated programs arranged at certain 

civilian universities, or at the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, California. Other immediate graduate study opportunities for Naval Academy 

graduates include Guggenheim, National Science Foundation, and Rhodes 

Scholarships. 

Grading 

The Naval Academy employs the letter grade system, A, B, C, D, and F (A 

denoting excellence; F, failing), which are in tum assigned a numerical Quality Point Equivalent (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 Quality Point Rating (QPR). The QPR is computed by multiplying the QPE corresponding to the letter grade received in each course by the semester hours 

of credit for the course, then dividing the sum of these products by the total 

number of semester hours represented by all the courses taken. A semester 

QPR (SQPR) is computed only for courses taken during a given semester; 

a Cumulative QPR (CQPR) is maintained for each midshipman, and includes 

all academic marks assigned to date. 

An academic probation system provides warning for midshipmen who are 

not making satisfactory progress toward graduation. lf a midshipman's 

cumulative QPR is below 2.0 at the completion of a semester, he is placed 

on academic probation for the following semester. A midshipman is also 

placed on probation for the semester following any two consecutive semesters 

in which his semester QPR is below 2.0, even though his cumulative QPR 

remains above 2.0. In addition, a special letter of warning serves to alert 

midshipmen whose mid-semester academic records are unsatisfactory. 

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 these grades are assigned very significant weight 

in determining class standing. 

A midshipman may be recommended for discharge by the Academic Board 

for failure of two 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. 

72 

Qj-

' 

• 

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

to midshipmen. The Superintendent's List honors all midshipmen attaining a 

minimum of 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 of 3.4 

with no failure ("F") in any academic course or other area, including professional studies, aptitude, conduct, and physical education. Individuals who 

achieve this level of excellence are called Star Men and proudly wear a gold 

star on the lapels of their uniforms . 

Graduation and Degree Requirements 

The Bachelo r of Science degree. In order to satisfy the academic requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree, a m1dsh1pman must: 

(1) Complete the required professional courses with at least a 2.00 average, 

(2) Complete the courses specified by the department in which he is majoring, 

(3) Achieve a minimum of a 2.00 average in the courses specified as major 

courses, 

(4) Satisfy the distribution requirements, 

(5) Achieve a cumulative quality point ratio (CQPR) of at least 2.00, a "C" 

average. 

To qualify for graduation, furthermore, a midshipman must meet required 

military-professional performance standards in professional studies and at-sea 

training, aptitude for the Service, conduct, and physical education. The 

Bachelor of Science degree is conferred by the Superintendent, upon recommendation of the Commandant and the Academic Dean, and approved by the 

Academic Board. 

Residence 

The curriculum at the Naval Academy is of four years' duration, as required 

by law. This means that students who validate courses or who can carry extra 

courses have the opportunity to do additional advanced work, pursue independent study and research, complete the requirements of two majors, or 

study other subjects for self-improvement or of general interest 

74 
Schedule of Instruction 

The calendar year is divided into two semesters and a summer term. The 

academic year consists of two semesters, each of approximately 16 weeks of 

instruction and one week of examinations. The normal academic routine provides for five-and-one-half days of classroom, laboratory, and study periods 

per week. Small classes, averaging 20 midshipmen, provide ample opportunity 

for active classroom participation by each midshipman and individual attention to students on the part of the instructor.

Aerospace Engineering Major 

Aerospace Engineering is concerned with the design and analysis of airplanes, missiles, 

and space vehicles. An understanding of the aerodynamics of Aighl al hypersonic and 

orbital speeds, structural dynamics, space propulsion, and space vehicle dynamics requires 

an understanding of basic physical phenomena and engineering practices. 

The curriculum provides a broad background in the aerospace sciences. Throughout the 

program extensive use is made of aeronautical laboratory facilities, including a variety 

of wind tunnels, propulsion devices, structural analysis and testing rigs, and a flight 

simulator, as well as interdisciplinary laboratory facilities shared with Mechanical Cngineenng. Advanced laboratory features include automated data acquisition terminals, 

programmable structures loading machinery, and computer facilities for data processing 

The program serves as a foundation for more advanced work al the Naval Academy 

and for subsequent graduate work for those midshipmen interested in specializing in 

aeronautical engineering. A Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering is awarded. 

The major is ECPD accredited

Marine Engineering Major 

The major in Marine Engineering provides midshipmen with a broad engineering background valuable in fields where the principles of energy conversion apply. The ma1or is 

84 
interdisciplinary in that it draws from many areas, such as mathematicsi physics, and the 

engineering sciences. Emphasis is placed on marine propulsion systems design and analysis 

for both nuclear and fossil fuel plants Laboratory facilities in both marine engineering and 

reactor physics provide an opportunity for individual research projects and the development of experimental techniques. Computers and advanced data acquisition systems are 

used in the design areas A Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering is awarded.

aval Architecture Major 

Naval architecture encompasses the comprehensive analysis and design of vehicles and 

structures that operate under, on, or 1ust above the surface of the sea. A wide range of 

scientific, engineering, and technological skills is required by the naval architect. The 

curriculum in naval architecture covers the static and dynamic analyses of ships, both 

theoretically and experimentally, as well as basic design techniques. Four required courses 

in naval architectural analysis and two elective courses culminate in a final design course 

which employs this background in the creation of a new marine vehicle or system. Creativity and individuality are encouraged through the use of modern, well equipped laboratories featuring state-of-the-art data acquisition systems. The use of the computer, both 

for numerical analysis and for interactive design applications, is encouraged. A Bachelor 

of Science in Naval Architecture is awarded.

Ocean Engineering Major 

Ocean Engineering is an interdisciplinary field involving the application of engineering 

principles to engineering systems in the ocean environment. Whereas ocean science is 

primarily concerned with fundamental knowledge, the ocean engineer is oriented toward 

applications, hardware, and operational techniques. Fundamentals of mathematics, physics, 

mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and oceanography are presented, followed 

by an introduction to areas of ocean technology, including ocean structures, undersea 

vehicles, underwater sound, wave mechanics, and life-support systems. 

Laboratory experiments and demonstrations arc conducted in an 85-foot towing tank 

equipped with a pneumatic wave-maker and instrumented with sophisticated sensors and 

on-line data acquisition and analysis equipment. Midshipmen find it necessary to use the 

Naval Academy's computer systems to solve a number of assigned problems. A Bachelor 

of Science in Ocean Engineering is awarded.

Chemistry Major 

Chemistry, an experimental science, is the most laboratory-oriented program offered at the 

Naval Academy. The undergraduate laboratory facilities of Michelson Hall art unexcelled 

The serious student of chemistry ha, ample opportunity to experiment and observe a, he 

pursues the scientific method . Laboratory equipment includes single-pan ba lances, gas 

chromatographs, mass spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance 

spectrometers. 

Any naval officer will profit from a good knowledge of chemistry. A background ,n the 

fundamental principles of chemistry and modern experimental techniques is highly 

valuable for naval officers working in many technical subspecialties, such as oceanspace 

research, life sciences and support systems, propellants, and many others.

The major program ,n Physics (1) presents fundamental physical concepts and principles 

in such a way as to emphasize their general usefulness and (2) lays a strong foundation 

for further work in a broad range of technical fields, Some of the topics treated in the 

sequence of courses are the origin, propagation, and reception of waves of all kinds; field 

concepts, theory of relativity, basic theory of quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. All are studied with the object of providing an open-minded and creative approach 

lo the physical world-an approach increasingly important lo those who will be leaders in 

our modern Navy. A solid background in physics achieved al the Academy will facilitate 

subsequent specialization in any technical area.

to traditional offerings which a re normally restricted to British and American literature.

VIII: Professional Training Courses 

The Commandant of Midshipmen directs the Academy's professional training 

program, which is a vital part of each midshipman's development during his 

four years at the Academy. It includes instruction, drills, and practical training conducted during the academic year, as well as summer training conducted 

away from the Academy with Fleet operational and training units. 

Midshipmen are graded on their interest and performance in the professional program just as they are on their performance in the academic program. A midshipman's over-all standing within his class at graduation 

depends very significantly on his grades in professional training. 

An outline of the professional training program follows. 

Fourth Class Summer 

Introduction to Seamans hip. Practical instruction in elementary seamanship, sailing in 

knockabouts and yawls, rules of the nautical road, and visual signalling.

130 
assists in the training of the third class midshipmen assigned lo his ship. He completes 

a considerable amount of practical work in navigation, taking sights and determining the 

ship's position. Among references used during his training are the Watch Officer's Guide, 

the Division Officer's Guide, and the SJup's Organization and Regulations Mmwal. He is 

required to complete a cruise training journal, summarizing his watches and his work in 

engineering, seamanship, navigation, weapons, operations, and in basic tactics. His c ruise 

journal is graded, and he takes a comprehensive examination on his at-sea training upon 

return to the Naval Academy. He receives both an academic grade and an aptitude grade 

for his summe(s training.

hours per week of naval orientation lectures, covering areas of importance to the junior 

officer. 

131 

IX: Varsity and Intramural Athletics 

Acndrm,y football team, 1~33 

Just as the Naval Academy has a responsibility for the professional and 

intellectual development of midshipmen, so, also, must it fulfill its responsibility for their physical development. The late John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a 

World War II naval officer who rose to the highest office in the land, underscored the importance of athletics generally in his thoughts about football: 

" I sometimes wonder whether those of us who love football fully appreciate 

its great lesson: that dedication, discipline, and teamwork are necessary. We 

take it for granted that the players will spare no sacrifice to become alert, 

strong, and skilled, that they will give their best on the field. This is as it 

should be, and we must never expect less, but I am extremely anxious that its 

implications not be lost upon us." 

In the competitive arena that is intercollegiate athletics, the exploits of 

Navy athletes are well-chronicled. Midshipmen have carved an outstanding 

reputation in 21 sports from football to fencing, sailing to squash, and golf 

to gymnastics. 

Two Navy football players-halfback Joe Bellino and quarterback Roger 

Staubach-won the Heisman Trophy, the college gridiron's most coveted 

individual prize, within a period of four years. 

Navy heavyweight crews captured the Olympic gold medal for eight-oared 

shells at Antwerp, Belgium in 1920, and in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. 

From 1960-67, the Navy lacrosse team reeled off eight consecutive national 

championships, a feat unparalleled in the history of that sport. They were 

again champions in 1970. 

Over a recent six-year, 48-game span, the Navy soccer team did not drop 

a regular season contest. 

And, a former Navy oarsman-Alan B. Shepard-was America's first man 

in space. 

Through the intercollegiate program, one of the largest in the nation, and 

an intramural schedule that is equally ambitious, the Naval Academy fulfills 

133 



e-

--
- la 

its responsibility for the physical development of midshipmen. Academy 

athletics are big, nationally known and respected, and put a high premium 

on excellence. 

Football at the Naval Academy dates from 1879, just 10 years after Rutgers 

and Princeton introduced the sport at New Brunswick. The midshipmen have 

been to four Bowl games, and nothing better symbolizes the Naval Academy 

athletic program than the Army-Navy football game, a sports event in the 

same galaxy as the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and the Rose Bowl 

There is enough of a variety in Navv's intercollegiate lineup to satisfy 

virtually everyone's athletic tastes. In the fall, there is football, cross country, 

soccer, 150-pound football, and sailing. \ Vinter is the most active time of year 

with nine different sports in season-basketball, fencing, gymnastics, pistol, 

nAe, squash, swimming, track, and wrestling. The spring schedule includes 

baseball, heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, golf, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, 

and track. 

Army traditionally is Navy's top opponent and the service rivals clash in a 

total of 18 engagements during the athletic year. Annapolis teams also face 

the perennial collegiate strongboys in every sport Notre Dame in football, 

Columbia and New York University in fencing, Penn State in gymnastics, 

Harvard and Pennsylvania in crew, and Yale in swimming. 

But perhaps even more a part of Annapolis life is the competition within 

the Brigade represented by the intramural sports program. Every midshipman, with the exception of varsity athletes, must take part. Here all can 

participate, each at a level equal to his athletic ability. Intramural sports 

include: 

Basketball Handball Touch Football 

Boxing lacrosse Track 

Crew Rugby Volleyball 

Cross Country Soccer Water Polo 

Fencing Softball Weightlifting 

Field Ball Squash Wrestling 

Football Swimming 

Gymnastics Tennis 

Excellent physical facilities support the program. Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, which seats 28,000 fans between the goal lines, was dedi138 
cated in 1959. The Navy Field House is surfaced throughout with Tartan and 

includes a 220-yard indoor track. There are more than 100 acres of lighted 

playing fields, a superb indoor swimming pool, a 5,000-seat baseball park, a 

challenging 6,217-yard championship golf course, and an impressive sprawl 

of tennis, squash, handball, and badminton courts. 

The athletic program is administered by the Naval Academy Athletic 

Association, a non-profit organization headquartered in Annapolis. The Association arranges the varsity schedules and provides coaching staffs and 

equipment. 

139 

X: Extracurricular Activities 

Mid1Jiipman and dale, 1890 

Life at the Academy offers midshipmen a wide-ranging choice of over 65 

different extracurricular activities which they organize and maintain themselves-everything from a Big Brother program to social clubs to music 

groups to professionally oriented programs. 

Like music? There is a Glee Club, the Antiphonal Choir, the Protestant 

and Catholic Chapel Choirs; the Drum and Bugle Corps, Concert Band, five 

separate combos which provide a lively variety of music for informal dances 

and other events, and the NA-10-the ever-popular dance band of the 

Brigade of Midshipmen. 

Interested in writing? 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 humor magazine; the Trident Cnlendnr booklet, embellished by photographs and cartoons; and Ree/ Points, a pocket size guide to Academy and Navy organization, lore, and customs for the plebes. 

The theater? Dramatic activities include the Masqueraders and the Musical 

Club and their supporting groups-the Stage, Property and Make-up, and 

Juice (electrical) Gangs. Others may find interest in such organizations as 

the Photographic Club, Amateur Radio Club, Scuba Club, Art and Printing 

Club, Brigade Activities Committee, Public Relations Committee, Gun Club, 

or Radio Station WRNV, the "Voice of the Brigade." 

A wide variety of academically and professionally oriented activities is 

offered for midshipmen whose interests lie in this direction-the local chapter 

of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for the future 

aviator, astronaut, or paper airplane designer; Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics 

Honor Society; the Annapolis Management Society; and the USNA branch of 

the Marine Technology Society, or more simply put, the Oceanography Club. 

Sailing at the Academy has a serious professional purpose. The program 

is extensive and varied. There is sailing for every taste-from basic instruction 

to ocean racing, and from leisurely afternoon cruising to the keen competition 

of high-performance racing dinghies. 

141 


Skills and knowledge of seamanship and the sea gained under sail are the 

same basic skills and knowledge which have been 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, 

with almost 1,000 midshipmen engaging in competitive or recreational sailing. 

And, Judging by the activity along the seawall on weekends, sailing is equally 

popular with drags (dates). 

The Academy has one of the finest sailing fleets in the world, including 

boats ranging from the 73-foot ocean racing ketch Jubilee Ill to the 12-foot 

lnterclub dinghies. The glamor girls of the fleet are the Class A Jubilee Ill, 

the 60-foot yawl Maredea, and the 54-foot sloop Rage, all of which compete 

actively in fall and spring Chesapeake Bay events and in ocean races during 

the summer. 

Basic sail training for all midshipmen is carried out in a fleet of twelve 

44-foot Luders-designed fiberglass yawls and thirty 24-foot converted Rainbow-class knockabouts. After plebe summer, all sailing becomes voluntary 

and is carried on as a recreational acrivlly as well as a varsity sport. 

The midshipmen compete in intercollegiate events across the nation during 

the fall and spring. In support of the teams, the Academy maintains thirty 

420-class racing dinghies and five 30-foot Shields-class sloops. 

The Academy sponsors numerous intercollegiate and Chesapeake Bay regattas. Both the McMillan Cup and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Regattas 

are hosted by the Academy in the yawls. Dunng the summer, the larger 

yachts are sailed in the open sea in such races as the Transatlantic, the Bermuda, and the Annapolis-Newport 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 in Bay 

races and serve as crew members in ocean races. 

Intercollegiate sailing is conducted by the Naval Academy Athletic Association. Other sailing is administered by the Naval Academy Sailing Squadron, an organization of officers, civilian faculty members, and other devotees 

of sailing. Besides being highly popular, Squadron-arranged weekend sailing 

trips give midshipmen a welcome chance to carry the spirit of the Navy to 

nearby ports on the Chesapeake Bay. 

144 
The Naval Academy YP Squadron is organized for midshipmen who desire 

more extensive training afloat. This voluntary training supplements the curriculum at the Academy and summer training with the Fleet. The Squadron 

consists of six Yard Patrol craft, one being assigned to each battalion. 

The organization and practices of the YP Squadron are very similar to 

those of Fleet destroyer squadrons on duty around the world. The midshipmen officers are selected for their ability to fulfill command positions. The 

midshipman selected as Squadron Commodore is responsible for the over-all 

performance and excellence of the Squadron, including the co-ordination of 

training, proficiency competition, inspections, and cruises. Midshipmen assisting him include a Chief Staff Officer, hvo Division Commanders, and an Administration Officer. Completing the staff is an Engineering Officer who 

supervises training in engineering and who ensures that engineering equipment is operated and maintained properly. Each Yard Patrol craft is commanded by a first or second classman who is 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. In addition to weekday training 

sessions, weekend cruises are conducted to Washington, Norfolk, Philadelphia, and various Chesapeake Bay ports. 

Competition between YPs for the Battle Efficiency Pennant is keen. The 

crew adjudged most proficient overall in tactics, deck seamanship, piloting, 

communications, and engineering is declared the winner. 

For those with a particular interest in the humanities, there are the Foreign 

Relations Club, Language Clubs, and the Debators. An annual spring highlight is the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference, which draws together 

college students from across the country to discuss problems of a specific 

geographic area of the world. 

These activities offer a midshipman a wide choice for professional enrichment, leisure-time enjoyment, and just plain fun. 

145 

XI: Administration, Staff, and Faculty 

Officus and rhr1r la,fiu. 1870 

The administration of the 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, a flag officer of the Navy, 

is the equivalent of a college president, and acts as the executive head of the 

Academy. He is assisted by the Commandant of Midshipmen, 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 the academic standards for 

the Academy. Military, professional, and physical training come under the 

Commandant. The Academic Dean heads the academic program. Today's 

600-man Naval Academy faculty is 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 educational program. 

The Board of Visitors 

A Board of Visitors to the Academy, appointed annually, consists 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 lempore 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. 

1 47 
Mr H Rou Prror 

The Board meets at least once, but usually twice, each year at the Naval 

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 report of its action and its views and recommendations to the President of the United States.

XII: Prizes and Awards, 

Museum, Alumni Association, 

and the Naval Institute 

Prizes and Awards 

Each June Week more than 80 prizes and awards, provided by individuals 

and a wide variety of organizations, are presented to deserving midshipmen 

in recognition of their noteworthy accomplishments in such areas as academics, leadership, professional studies, debate, public speaking, sailing, 

marksmanship, and athletics. 

The Museum 

The Naval Academy Museum serves as an inspiration to the men of the 

Brigade by providing tangible evidence of some of the most famous and 

excihng episodes in our nation's history. Its collecllon of more than 50,000 

individual items also provides an important reference source for the teaching 

of naval history. 

While most of the museum's valuable collections are located within the 

museum, other items of exceptional interest and value are located in the 

chapel, Bancroft 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 the battleship Missorm on which was signed the 

instrument of surrender ending World War II, and thousands of other sig177 
John Pnul ]on~s 

nificant items relating to the history of the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the 

Naval Academy. In addition, the museum has valuable collections of manuscripts and extensive photographic files. 

Museum items in Bancroft Hall include the flag hoisted by Commodore 

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 Antoine Houdon; and 

fine portraits of other distinguished naval officers. In the chapel crypt is found 

John Paul Jones's 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 of 

France. The library contains a number of ship models from the Rogers Collection and numerous historic flags, including the only known captured British 

Royal Standard. 

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association 

The U. 5. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc., is a private organization 

whose mission is to serve and support the United States, the naval service, 

and the Naval Academy by furthering the high standards of the Naval Academy; by seeking out, informing, encouraging, and assisting qualified young 

men to enter the Naval Academy and to pursue careers in the regular Navv 

and Marine Corps; and by initiating and sponsoring activities which perpetuate the history, traditions, and growth of the Naval Academy and which 

bind its alumni together in support of the highest ideals of command, citizenship, and government. 

All former midshipmen of the Naval Academy are eligible for membership 

in the Association-graduates, non-graduates, active duty officers, retired 

officers, and alumni who are no longer affiliated with the Navy. 

Alumni House (Ogle Hall of pre-Revolutionary-Annapolis fame) is the 

Association's handsome national headquarters. Files and records are maintained on all ex-plebes dating from the establishment of the present Naval 

Academy in 1845 through the classes now enrolled. The many functions of 

the Association include annual publication of the RC'gister of Alumni; publication of Shipmate, the alumni monthly magazine; support of class and 

chapter organizations; and service to and support of many activities at the 

Academy throughout the year. 

178 
The United States Naval Institute 

Headquartered in Annapolis, the U. S. Naval Institute is the professional 

society of the seagoing services. It is a private, nonprofit association of more 

than 63,000 members formed in 1873 for "the advancement of professional, 

literary, and scientific knowledge in the Navy." The membership includes 

officers and enlisted personnel from all branches of the military services, 

distinguished officers of foreign navies, and U. S. and foreign citizens interested in events and developments throughout the worldwide maritime community. Members pay annual dues and receive the Institute's monthly professional journal, the U. 5. Naval Institute Proceedings, and are entitled 

to purchase Naval Institute books, as well as those of other publishers, at 

reduced prices. 

The Institute's books include texts on professional naval subjects, training 

guides and manuals, scientific and technical works, and studies in naval 

history.

Foreign Students 

REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. On behalf of the President of the United States, 

the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up to four Filipinos at any one time to 

receive instruction at the Naval Academy Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through diplomatic channels. The appointments are competitive. 

AMERICAN REPUBLICS OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES. Upon designation 

by the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Navy may authorize up 

to 20 persons at any one time from other American nations to receive instruction 

at the U. 5. Naval Academy. Not more than three persons from any one country 

may receive instruction at the same hme Applications for these appointments must 

be addressed through appropriate diplomatic channels. The appointments are 

competitive. Nominations must reach the State Department in Washington, D. C., 

by 1 January of the calendar year in which entering. 

Foreign nationals receiving instruction at the Naval Academy receive the same 

pay, allowances, and emoluments as other midshipmen; are paid from the same 

appropriations; and except for such modifications as may be determined by the 

Secretarv of the Navy, are subject to the same rules and regulations governing admission, attendance, discipline, resignation, discharge, dismissal, and graduation, as 

midshipmen at the Naval Academy appointed from the United States. Foreign 

students are not entitled to appointment to any office or position in the U. 5. Navy 

by reason of their graduation from the Naval Academy. The entrance deposit in 

the amount of $JOO is required of all foreign students. 

Each foreign candidate must : 

D 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 and not yet 

22 years of age on 1 July of the calendar year in which he enters the Naval Academy 

D Possess medical qualifications as specified ,n Appendix 8 of this catalog. All 

candidates must undergo a medical examination and a physical aphtude examination 

188 
by a board of medical examiners designated by the Chief of Naval Personnel Qualifying Medical and Physical Aptitude examinations are conducted by the Permanent 

Medical Examining Board at the U. S. Naval Academy at the time of reporting for 

admission. Foreign candidates are therefore urged to undergo careful preliminary 

examination by qualified medical personnel who are conversant with the physical 

requirements set forth in Appendix B of this catalog before leaving their homes for 

the Naval Academy. Those with obviously disqualifying defects may thus be spared 

the needless expense of the trip to Annapolis. In case of reasonable doubt as to 

whether or not the defects are disqualifying, it is recommended that a telegraphic 

inquiry be addressed to the Dean of Admissions, U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, 

Maryland, 21402, U.S.A 

D Be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking 1d1omatic English. Candidates 

may meet scholastic entrance requirements by submitting certificates from schools 

attended. They must also take either the American College Testing Program (ACT) 

test or the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Scholastic Aptitude Test 

and the Achievement Tests in English Composition and Mathematics, Level I or 

Level II 

Foreign candidates are given the same examination in English composition as 

other candidates, but due consideration is accorded to them in evaluating test results 

Each candidate must submit a certificate from his government attesting that he 1s 

conversant with the literature 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 literature 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 must provide a report of the candidate's proficiency in the use 

of idiomatic English. 

Governments should submit the names of candidates as early as possible 1n order 

that they may qualify for entrance by the end of March and enter the Naval 

Academy in July. 

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

required, in substance as follows 

189 

, a c1h1en of . 

having been appointed a midshipman at the United States 

Naval Academy, do solemnly swear to comply with all 

regulations for the policy and discipline of the Naval 

Academy, and to give my utmost efforts to accomplish 

sati~factorily the required curriculum, do swear not to 

divulge any information of military value which I may 
Appendix E 

obtain directly or indirectly in consequence of my presence 

at the United States Naval Academy to any alien government, and do agree that I shall be withd rawn from the 

United States Naval Academy if deficient in conduct, 

health, or studies. 

Notification will be given to the governments concerned that students found by 

proper authority to be unsatisfactory in conduct, studies, or health will be accorded 

the same consideration given to other midshipmen regarding withdrawal from the 

Academy or repetition of a year's work 

Oath of Office and En~rance Day Procedures 

Candidates for whom there are vacancies, who have subscribed to the En!(agemen: 

to Serve, and who have met the scholastic, moral, and physical requirements, will 

receive appointments as midshipmen and be admitted to the Naval Academy. 

Each candidate for midshipman will be required to take the following oath of 

office upon entrance 

"/, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. , Jwvin~'( beeu appointed a midslripnran 

in the United States Navy, do solem11ly swear (or affirm) tlrat I will support and 

defend tl1e Constit11tro11 of tire United States ,1!(ai11st all enemies, forei!(II mrd domestic, tlrat I will bear trne faitlr and allegiance to tl,e same; that I take tlris obligation freely, wrtl1011t a11y me11tal resen•atio11 or p11rpose of et•asio11; a11d that I will 

well a11d faithfully disclrarge the d11ties of tire office 011 which I tim ,1!,out to enter, 

So Help Me God,-

He will also be required to subscribe to the following agreement under oath. 

"For and w co11sidernt1011 of the privileges, op1•ortw11ties, a11d lre11c(its afforded me 

duri11g tire conti11uance of my scn•ice as a midshipman, I agree to a11d with tire 

Superintendent of the Umted States Nnt>nl Arndemy, 11s follows: 

"First . To e11ter the semicc of tire ~,wy of the United States and, to the utmost of 

my power and ab,lity, to be in et•crythi11g conformable a11d obedient to tl,e severnl 

requireme11ts and lawful commands of the officer; wlro may be placed ot>er me 

190 
"Second· I oblige myself, d11,·i11g s11d1 sen•ice, to comply witlr a11d be s11bject to the 

U11iform Code of Military ]11strce nrrd s11ch other laws arrd reg11lations as are or 

shall be estab/1s/1ed by tire Co11gress of tire U111ted States or other competent a11-

thority. 

"Third; To s11bmit to treatment for tire p1eve11t1011 of smallpox, typhoid (typhoid 

proplrylax,s), and to such other preuerrtive 111eas111·es as may be co11sidered 11ecessary by naval a11thorities." 

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 Superintendent, U. 5. Naval Academy. Living 

accommodations in the crty of Annapolis are limited, and candidates are therefore 

urged to time their arrivals in Annapolis to coincide as closely as possible wrth the 

reporting time and date, keeping in mind, however, that transportation facilities between Washington and Annapolis and between Baltimore and Annapolis are not 

unlimited. Those arriving in Annapolis a day or two prior to their reporting date 

may take advantage of berthing facilities made avarlable at the Naval Academy at a 

cost of Sl per night. Additionally, candidates may take their meals rn the Midshipmen's Mess at the cost of a midshipman's daily ration allowance, which is qurte 

nomrnal. 

In keeping with the policy 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 thrs certificate is to aid in determining 

whether the candidate's conduct or assocrallons, past and present, have been such 

as to cast any doubt whatever upon his loyalty to the United States. 

The loyalty certificate includes a list of those agencies, groups, etc., designated 

by the Attorney General of the Unrted States to be totalitarian, fascist, communist, 

or otherwise 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, or to overthrow the government. 

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 pendrng 

investigation and determination of eligibility by the Department of the Navy. 

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 suitable for reissue, to an amount sufficient to liquidate their indebledness. If reclaimed arlicles are insufficient to cover the indebtedness, parents will 

be grven an opportunity to pay the remaining debt; failing this, the remainder of the 

debt is cancelled. Midshipmen applying for volunlary separation for their own convenience are required lo repay in full the amount of indebtedness prior to separation. 

191 
II 

Every candidate must present his Social Security card upon reporting 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 midshipman. 

Shortly after entrance, each midshipman (except Foreign Nationals) will be required to complete a Statement of Personal History. Candidates 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 if parents are or 

were in armed forces; naturalization numbers of parents if applicable. 

Relatives in foreign co1mtries-relatio11sl1ip and location. 

Names and addresses of former employers. 

Names and addresses of three credit and five personal references (credit references 

may include those of parents). 

Residences during past 15 ye,irs. (Dates, street addresses, and cities are required.) 

Candidates admitted as midshipmen will be required to submit documentary 

evidence of birth to the Superintendent, U. S. Naval Academy. A certified copy of 

the public record of birth is the best evidence Supporting evidence will be required 

if the name on the evidence of birth is not identical with the name of the candidate. 

Upon entrance, midshipmen will be required to obtain a regulation entrance outfit from the midshipmen's storekeeper Slide rules and drawing sets are included in 

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 for authorized travel). Midshipmen will be 

reimbursed for the actual cost of their fares in commercial ships provided no government transportatton was available. In those cases in which 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. \-Vhen government transportation is not available, a certified statement to this effect must be presented in order for the candidate 

to be reimbursed after he has become a midshipman.
