384 United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
sanitttr .states plilitars ^catrtma) at W^zni }3otnt*
Each Congressional District and Territory— also the District of Columbia— is entitled to have one
cadet at the Academy. There are also ten appointments at large, specially conferred by the President
of the United States. The number of students is thus limited to three hundred and seventy-one. At
present there is one extra cadet at the Academy, who was authorized by Congress to enter it at his
own expense from Venezuela. . ^ , . = , . .
Appointments are usually made one year m advance of date of admission, by the Secretary of
War upon the nomination of the Representative. These nominations may either be made after com-
petitive examination or given direct, at the option of the Bepresentative. The Representative may
nominate a legally qualified second candidate, to be designated tlie alternate. The alternate will re-
ceive from the War Department a letter of appointment, and will be examined with the regular ap-
pointee, and if duly qualified will be admitted to the Academy in the event of the failure of the princi-
pal to pass the prescribed preliminary examinations. Appointees to the Military Academy must be
between seventeen and twenty-two years of age, free from any infirmity which may render them
unfit for military service, and able to pass a careful examination in reading, writing, oithography,
arithmetic, grammar, geography, and history of the United States.-
The course of instruction, which is quite thorough, requires four years, and is largely mathemati-
cal and professional. The principal subjects taughtare mathematics, French, drawing, drill regulations
of all arms of the service, natural and experimental philosophy, chemistry, mineralogy, geology, and
electricity, histoi'y, international, constitutional, and military law, Spanish, and civil and military en-
gineering, and art and science of war. About one- fourth of those appointed usually fail to pass the pre-
liminary examination, and but little over one-half the remainder are finally graduated. The discipline
is verv strict— even more so than in the army— and the enforcement of penalties for offences is inflex-
ible rather than severe. Academic duties begin September 1 and continue until June 1. Examina-
tions are held in each January and June, and cadets found proficient in studies and correct in conduct
are given the particular standing in their class to which their merits entitle them, while those cadets
deficient in either conduct or studies are discharged.
From about the middle of June to the end of August cadets live in camp, engaged only in military
duties and receiving practical military instruction. Cadets are allowed but one leave of absence
during the four years' coui-se, and this is gi-anted at the expiration of the first two j^ears. The pay of a
cadet is five hundred and forty dollai-s per year, and, with proper economy, is suflicieut for his sup-
port. The number of students at the Academy is usually about three hundred.
Upon graduating cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army. The
whole number of graduates from 1802 to 1895 has been three thousand six hundred and sixty-eight
(3,668). It is virtually absolutely necessary for a person seeking an appointment to fipply to his
Member of Congress. The appointments by the President are usually restricted to sons of officers of
the armv.
The Academy was established by act of Congress in 1802. An annual Board of Visitors is appointed,
seven being appointed by the President of the United States, two by the President of the Senate, and
three by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. They visit the Academy in June, and are pres-
ent at the concluding exercises of the graduating class of that year. The Superintendent is Colonel O.
H Ernst, of the Corps of Engineers, and the military and academic staff consists of sixty- four per-
sons. Captain Wilber E. Wilder, Fourth Cavalry, is adjutant.
The three oldest living graduates of the Military Academy are General George S. Greene, U. S. A. ,
retired, of New Jersey, who wasgraduatedinl823; Joseph Smith Bryce, of District of Columbia, and
Thomas A. Dayies, of New York, who were graduated in 1829.
SEnitetr states l?Caijal ^catrtms at i^tluapolllS.
There are allowed at the Academy one naval cadet for each Member or Delegate of the
United States Honse of Representatives, one for the District of Columbia, and ten at large. The
appointment of cadets at large and for the District of Columbia is made by the President. The
Secretary of the Navy, as soon after March 5 in each year as possible, must notify in writing
each Member and Delegate of the House of Representatives of any vacancy that may exist in his
district. The nomination of a candidate to fill the vacancy is made, on the recommendation of
the Member or Delegate, by the Secretary. Candidates must be actual residents of the districts
from which they are nominated.
The course of naval cadets is six years, the last two of which are spent at sea. Candidates
at the time of their examination for admission must be not under fifteen nor over twenty years
of age and physically sound, well formed, and of robust condition. They enter the Academy
immediately after passing the prescribed examinations, and are required to sign articles binding
themselves to serve in the United States Navy eight years (including the time of probation at the
Naval Academy), unless sooner discharged. The pay of a naval cadet is five hundred dollars a
year, beginning at the date of admission.
At the end of the third year the new first class is separated into two divisions, namely : the
Line Division and the Engineer Division, the numbers of these divisions being proportioned to
the vacancies that have occurred in the several corps during the preceding year.
At the end of the six years' course appointments to fill vacancies in" the Line and in the
Marine Corps are made from the Line Division, and to fill vacancies in the Engineer Corps from
the Engineer Di\asion.
If, after making assignments as above, there should still be vacancies in one branch and
surplus graduates in the other, the vacancies in the former may be filled by assignment to it of
surplus graduates from the latter.
At least ten appointments from such graduates are made each year. Surplus graduates who
do not receive appointments are given a certificate of graduation, axa honorable discharge, and
one year' s sea pay.
The Academy was founded in 1845 by the Hon. George Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy in
the administration of President Polk. It was formally opened October 10 of that year, with
Commander Franklin Buchanan as Superintendent. During the Civil War it was removed from
Annapolis, Md. , to NcAvport, R. I. , but was returned to the foi-mer place in 1865. It is under
the direct supervision of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department.
