Naval Academy reforms urge four year course and curriculum consolidation
A special naval board submitted to Navy Department urges consolidating departments at the Naval Academy into three heads, combining navigation with seamanship, mechanics with mathematics, and English with modern languages. It recommends a four year course with broader training, nonAcademy schools under state or city control, longer instructor tours, a new physical training department, and stricter discipline via midshipmen duties. The report favors commissioning exams after one year at sea and a single path from cadet to ensign.
