United States Naval Academy. A school for the training of young men to serve as officers in the United States Navy was opened in 1845. following the plans of Hon. George Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy during the administration of President Polk. The course at that time consisted of five years, of which the first and last were spent at the school, the intervening three being passed at sea. The first class graduated in 1846. A reorganization of the institution was made in 1850, the name then becoming the United States Naval Academy. and its management being placed under the supervision of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography. The course of study was then extended to seven years. In 1861 the academy was transferred to Newport, and returned to Annapolis at the close of the civil war, in 1865. In 1851 the three years sea service was abandoned, and the course made four years, to be changed to six years in 1873, when the administration of the school was placed directly under the Navy Department. As at present arranged the curriculum includes seamanship, ordnance and gunnery, navigation, marine engineering, naval construction, mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, English, modern languages, physiology and hygiene and law.
