June 15, 2001 - US Naval War College

History of the U.S. Naval War College 

Founded in Newport, Rhode Island on October 6, 1884, the Naval War 

College is the oldest war college in the nation, and the first military 

service institution in the world to be designated a war college. 

Commodore Stephen B. Luce was the first president and organized the 

War College as "a place of original research on all questions relating to 

war and the statesmanship connected with war, or the prevention of war." 

These foundations were built upon by Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, 

second president of the College, who had originally been selected by Luce 

to initiate the course in Naval History. Of all the men who were to 

influence the institution in its early years, none was to have a more 

profound impact. Mahan's views deeply affected such leaders as Henry 

Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt and through them and others helped 

shape the United States' destiny at the tum of the century. Mahan's 

writings, published as The Influence of Seapower Upon History, 

1660-1783, gained him worldwide acclaim and established the Naval War 

College as an internationally respected institution. 

Functioning continuously since 1884, except for brief periods during 

the Spanish-American War and World War I, the War College numbers 

among its graduates such distinguished naval officers as Admirals Sims, 

Spruance, King, Nimitz, and Halsey, in addition to many others who today 

are holding prominent military positions. 

The work begun more than one hundred years ago by Luce and Mahan 

continues today. As graduates well know, the curriculum is both demanding 

and rewarding. For the military professional, the unique education 

provided by the Naval War College is unrivaled. In recognition of the 

academic rigor and educational excellence of its program, the Naval War 

College was accredited in 1991 by the New England Association of 

Schools and Colleges to award a Master of Arts Degree in National 

Security and Strategic Studies.

THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION AND REGALIA 

For centuries, institutions of higher learning have dignified their 

ceremonies with an academic procession, a custom descending from the 

clerical procession. The procession is led by a marshal, followed by the 

student body and the academicians or faculty, attired in the robes 

prescribed for their respective degrees. Distinguished visitors and 

delegates follow the faculty, and last in the procession comes the president 

of the institution. 

Each member of an academic procession ordinarily wears a cap, gown, 

and hood. In the procession today military faculty will not wear academic 

gowns. The earliest illustration of gowns worn at Oxford University 

somewhat resembles cassocks worn by English teachers who found good 

use for the hood, or cowl, as protection against the weather. A uniform 

American system of academic heraldry displays the level of degree, the 

field of study in which it was earned, and the institution by which it was 

granted. 

It is the hood which provides academic regalia its color and offers the 

most information about its wearer. The silk lining of the hood bears the color, 

or colors, of the degree-granting college or university; its velvet facing reveals 

the color assigned to each area of study. The Bachelor's gown is relatively 

simple, falling in straight lines from an elaborate yoke and having pointed 

sleeves. The Master's gown is slightly more elaborate and fastens about the 

wrist The Doctor's gown is marked by velvet panels down the front and 

around the neck, as well as by three bars of the same material on the 

well-shaped sleeves. It is cut more fully and may be ornamented. The hood 

worn is three feet in length for Bachelors, three and one-half feet for Masters, 

and four feet for Doctorates, with velvet trimming of two, three, and five 

inches in width respectively. 

The edging, or facing, velvet of academic hoods indicates the area of 

study. The principal scholarly fields seen in the procession today include: 

Philosophy 

Arts, Letters, Humanities 

Business Administration 

Economics 

Engineering 

Law 

International AffairslPublic Administration 

Dark Blue 

White 

Light Brown 

Copper 

Orange 

Purple 

Peacock Blue 

The American mortarboard, derived from the soft: Oxford cap, is black. 

Its tassel, for holders of the bachelor's and master's degree, is usually 

black, while gold tassels are worn by holders of doctoral degrees and 

heads of institutions. The tassel is worn on the right side of the cap by undergraduates, 

on the left: by holders of bachelor's and higher degrees.

The Honorable George Bush 

The FOrly-first President of the United States 

George Bush was elected President of the United States on November 8, 1988, 

sworn in on January 20, 1989, and served until January 20, 1993. During his term in 

office, the Cold War ended; the threat of nuclear war was drastically reduced; the 

Soviet Union ceased to exist, replaced by a democratic Russia; the Berlin Wall fell 

and Germany was reunified; Eastern Europe and the Baltic States all became free; and 

President Bush put together an unprecedented coalition of 32 nations to liberate 

Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's brutal aggression, thus paving the way for Israel and 

her Arab neighbors at the Madrid Peace Conference to begin anew their quest for 

peace in the Middle East. 

Mr. Bush was only the second American President to serve a full term without 

Party control in either chamber of Congress. Nevertheless, President Bush signed into 

law, among other things, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Clean Air Act 

- landmark civil rights and environmental legislation. He also successfully fought 

for and negotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which was 

later signed into law. 

Since leaving office, President Bush has written two books - A World 

Transformed, co-authored with General Brent Scowcroft, on foreign policy during his 

administration, and All The Best, a collection ofletters written throughout his life. He 

has visited 56 foreign countries, most of the 50 states and has helped to raise millions 

of dollars for a variety of charitable organizations. President Bush serves on the Board 

of Visitors of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas and is honorary 

chairman of the Points of Light Foundation. 

President Bush's career in politics and public service began in 1963, when he was 

elected Chairman of the Harris County (fX) Republican Party. He was elected in 

1966 to the U.S. House of Representatives from Texas' 7th District and served two 

terms. Mr. Bush accepted a series of senior level appointments following an 

unsuccessful try for the Senate in 1970: U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations 

(1971); Chairman of the Republican National Committee (1973); Chief of the U.S. 

Liaison Office in China (1974); and Director of Central Intelligence (1976). In 1980, 

Mr. Bush accepted a spot on the national ticket and served as Vice President from 

1981 to 1989. 

Born on June 12, 1924, in Milton, Massachusetts, George Bush became a 

decorated naval pilot who flew torpedo bombers during World War II. He then 

graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Yale University in 1948 with a degree in economics 

and moved to Texas where he began making his way in the oil business. 

President and Mrs. Bush have five children and 14 grandchildren. They have been 

married 56 years and reside in Houston, Texas and Kennebunkport, Maine.

UNITED STATES NAVAL WAR COLLEGE 

COAT OF ARMS 

The walY white and blue bars at the bottom 

of the shield represent water. The trident rising from 

it symbolizes mastery of naval activities. The three 

tines of the trident allude to an understanding of naval 

warfare at sea, in the air, and on land. The pilot wheel 

alludes to the mission of the Naval War College, education in 

naval warfare. The eight spokes refer to honor, duty, 

leadership, command, strategy, tactics, logistics, and weapons. 

The laurel wreath isfor achievement of the mission. The 

motto is "Victory Through Sea Power."
