With the arrival here few days
ago of number of additional officers
of the junior grades of the Navy, the
classes at the Post Graduate School
at the Naval Academy were complet-
ed.
The Post Graduate School was es-
tablished three years ago, but only in
| February was the course so extended
so as TO include, in addition to ma
rine engineering, the single branches
taught at the outset, ordnance, naval
construction, physics and chemistry
and electrical engineering. And, by
the enlargement of the post graduate
Sc, the Naval Academy virtually
became Naval University.
Lieut.. Commander James p. Nor
ton is at the head of ths post gradu-
ate department, with Professor of
mathematics G. X. Calhoun, who
graduated from the Academy in late
years, as assistant. There are now
thirty eight officers of the grades of
senior and junior lieutenants aud en-
signs undergoing the post graduate
instruction.
The classes have been formed and
styled the same as in the college or
unive rsity, viz: seniors, juniors and
sophomores. The senior class COM
prises those officers who have been
taking the course for the past two
years, and will finish up in June of
this year There are eight officers
in the sc nior class and fifteen in
each the junior and sophomore
classes. The roster by classes fol-

While Lieut. Commander Morton
is the active head of the post gradu-

the work of the course is under the
direction of council, of which Su-
perintende ut Gibbons, of the Acad-
emy, is the president Lieutenant
Commander Morton is a member OF
the Council, and the other members
are the heads of acadt mic depart
ments of the branches comprising the
course.
Civil Engineer A. C. Parsons is
the Washington member of the Coun-
ell. He is on duty in connection
with the Navy Department. In addi-
tion to the actual course of study out
lined for the student officers, lectures
on engineering, ordnance and the
other branches are given from time
to time, and the students are sent on
tours of inspection of the big indus
trial plants in the East at Designated
times.
The enlargement Of the post grad
uate schoc necessitated the assign
ment of additional officers as instruc-
tors in the different departments, so
that now the number Of officers at
the Naval Academy is greater than
ever beore The academic staff alone
consists of ninety-six commissioned
officers, in addition to forty-one nom
commissioned officers, professors and
civilian instructors. And besides,
there are four commissioned officers
on duty at the Naval Experiment
Station, and about a dozen doing other
duty. none of whom is attached to
the academic staff.
