HISTORY OF THE U.S. NAVAL WAR COLLEGEFounded in Newport, Rhode Island on October 6, 1884, the NavalWar College is the oldest war college in the nation, and the first militaryservice institution in the world to be designated a war college. CommodoreStephen B. Luce was the first president and organized the War College as"a place of original research on all questions relating to war and thestatesmanship connected with war, or the prevention of war." Thesefoundations were built upon by Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, secondpresident of the College, who had originally been selected by Luce toinitiate the course in Naval History. Of all the men who were to influencethe institution in its early years, none was to have a more profoundimpact. Mahan's views deeply affected such leaders as Henry Cabot Lodgeand Theodore Roosevelt and through them and others helped shape theUnited States' destiny at the turn of the century. Mahan's writings,published as The Influence of Seapower Upon History, 1660-1783, gainedhim worldwide. acclaim and established the Naval War College as aninternationally respected institution.Functioning continuously since 1884, except for brief periods duringthe Spanish-American War and World War I, the War College numbersamong its graduates such distinguished naval officers as Admirals Sims,Spruance, King, Nimitz, and Halsey, in addition to many others who todayare holding prominent military positions.The work begun more than one hundred years ago by Luce andMahan continues today. As graduates well know, the curriculum is bothdemanding and rewarding. For the military professional, the uniqueeducation provided by the Naval War College is unrivaled. In recognitionof the academic rigor and educational excellence of its program, the NavalWar College was accredited in 1991 by the New England Association ofSchools and Colleges to award a Master of Arts Degree in NationalSecurity and Strategic Studies.

THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION AND REGALIAFor centuries, institutions of higher learning have dignified theirceremonies with an academic procession, a custom descending from theclerical procession. The procession is led by a marshal, followed by thestudent body and the academicians or faculty, attired in the robesprescribed for their respective degrees. Distinguished visitors and delegatesfollow the faculty, and last in the procession comes the president of theinstitu tion.Each member of an academic procession ordinarily wears a cap, gown,and hood. In the procession today military faculty will not wear academicgowns. The earliest illustration of gowns worn at Oxford Universitysomewhat resembles cassocks worn by English teachers who found gooduse for the hood, or cowl, as protection against the weather. A uniformAmerican system of academic heraldry displays the level of degree, the fieldof study in which it was earned, and the institution by which it wasgranted.It is the hood which provides academic regalia its color and offers themost 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 revealsthe color assigned to each area of study. The Bachelor's gown is relativelysimple, falling in straight lines from an elaborate yoke and having pointedsleeves. The Master's gown is slightly more elaborate and fastens about thewrist. The Doctor's gown is marked by velvet panels down the front andaround the neck, as well as by three bars of the same material on the wellshapedsleeves. It is cut more fully and may be ornamented. The hood worn isthree feet in length for Bachelors, three and one-half feet for Masters, and fourfeet for Doctorates, with velvet trimming of two, three, and five inches inwidth respectively.The edging, or facing, velvet of academic hoods indicates the area ofstudy. The principal scholarly fields seen in the procession today include:PhilosophyDark BlueArts, Letters, HumanitiesWhiteBusiness AdministrationLight BrownEconomicsCopperEngineeringOrangeLawPurpleInternational Affairs/Public Administration Peacock BlueThe American mortarboard, derived from the soft Oxford cap, isblack. Its tassel, for holders of the bachelor's and master's degree, is usuallyblack, while gold tassels are worn by holders of doctoral degrees and headsof institutions. The tassel is worn on the right side of the cap byundergraduates, on the left by holders of bachelor's and higher degrees.

Semper Paratus(U.S. Coast Guard)We're always ready for the call,We place our trust in Thee.Through surf and storm and howling gale,High shall our purpose be.Semper Paratus" is our guide,Our fame and glory too.To fight to save or fight to die,Aye! Coast Guard we are for you!Marine Corps Hymn(U.S. Marine Corps)From the Halls of MontezumaTo the Shores of TripoliWe fight our country's battlesIn the air, on land and sea;First to fight for right and freedomAnd to keep our honor clean;We are proud to claim the titleof United States Marine.

The Air Force Song(U.S. Air Force)Off we go into the wild blue yonderClimbing high into the sun;Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,At'em boys, giv'er the gun! (Giv'er the gun!)Down we dive spouting our flames from under,Off with one hell-of-a roar!We live in fame or go down in flame .. . Hey!Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!The Caissons Go Rolling Along(U.S. Army)First to fight for the rightAnd to build the nation's might,And the Army goes rolling along.Proud of all we have doneFighting till the battle's won,And the Army goes rolling along.Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!The Army's on its way.Count off the cadence loud and strong.For where' er we go, you will always know,That the Army goes rolling along.

Anchors Aweigh(U.S. Navy)Anchors Aweigh, my boys,Anchors Aweigh.Farewell to foreign shores,We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.Through our last night on shore,Drink to the foam,Until we meet once more:Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.National Anthem-Fourth VerseOh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall standBetween their loved homes and the war's desolation!Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued landPraise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,And this be our motto: "In God is our trust. "And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

"No human foresight can provide against earthquakes orvolcanic eruptions or pestilence or famine.War, on the other hand, may in certain instances be averted.But mark this well: It may be averted in one way onlyand that is to be fully prepared for it. That is the meaning ofthis College: it is an instrumentality for the prevention ofwar by being prepared for it. "RADM Stephen B. Luce, USNPresident Naval War CollegeOctober 1884 - June 1886
