BIG STUDENT BODY
STILL At ACADEMY
penIrn To Normal Conditions
MAY Be Delayed Until Urgent
Need Of officers Passes
MAY KEEP RESERVES

Readjustmen. of the course at the
Naval Academy to the normal, will be
big task that the authorities will
have to take up shortly AS soon as
nossible. the regular routine will be
70. orad. including the course of four
Years but it is likely that the num-
har of mldshipmen will not be de-
creased for a long time, while the staff
~ instructors and executives and the
force of employees of the various
binds will have to be maintained in
proportion to the large number of stu
dents This will also entail great
nrgoram OF construction and main
tenance in the near future.
There Is no doubt that the next
class of midshipmen will number
about a thousand, being probably a
little larger than the present fourth
class This can be stated with GER
tainy in view of the actual vacancies
now existing, and the authority by law
for the appointment of candidates.
The number of midshipmen at present
Is about 2,100, but the graduation of
class OF 475 in June, with designations
and other separations from the serv-
Ice will make the next years student
body. with the new class, about 2,400.
This will just fill the enlarged Ban
croft Hall, two to a room.
A question which Is not yet settled
is whether the present first class will
he the last TO be graduated with only
three years of instruction. Under the
precise Interpretation of the law, it
will be. unless there is additional leg
islation. as the law becomes inopera-
tive on September 1st, next. However,
il may be possible, that the present
third class, having taken part of the
advanced work, may be allowed to
graduate in three. If il is decided to
the contrary, this class will simply
advance to the second class next year,
as It would have. had there been no
change due to the emergency.
The action in the matter of return
ing to the regular four years cours
will depend upon the urgency of the
need ol officers. In view of the tre-
mendous number of vessels now in the
Naval service, and the immense build
ing program, with the expansion of
the work of the service in various di-
rections. the need of officers is likely
to continue for some years. This may
be met by retaining temporary Off
GERS, those given a special course at
the Naval Academy or designated from
the enlisted personnel, or it may be
met by continuing to shorten the
course at the Naval Academy, or there
may be a combination of these meth
DDS
There is even a possibility that the
training of young men for temporary
commissions in the Navy, by carrying
them through an intensive course at
the Naval Academy, may continue for
some time A class of $50 is receiving
this instruction at present, and there
is no jntimation that its work will be
discontinued, or even that another
class of the same number will not be
sent here. These young men are
Quartered in temporary barracks, and
attend some of the same classes as
the midshipmen Therefore, their in
Strucuon can be carried on with liz
lie interference with the regular rou-
iine OF the Academy.
