Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NAMUAC_150816_001.JPG: Midshipman's White Jumper The "white works' uniform, with name and class number stenciled on the front, was more commonly worn during Jimmy Carter's time and into the 1960s than it is today.
2. NAMUAC_150816_007.JPG: Jimmy Carter Nobel Peace Prize ceremony program
3. NAMUAC_150816_013.JPG: Jimmy Carter on Board Pomfret: After graduation Carter served in the old battleships Wyoming and Mississippi before attending submarine school. He is shown here during gunnery exercises on board Pomfret. He would go to USS K-1 before being accepted into the nuclear power program.
4. NAMUAC_150816_020.JPG: Nobel Peace Prize James E. Carter, III USNA 1947
5. NAMUAC_150816_029.JPG: Nobel Prize in Physics Albert A. Michelson USNA 1873
6. NAMUAC_150816_033.JPG: Nobel Prize Certificate and Medal for Albert A. Michelson
7. NAMUAC_150816_037.JPG: Portrait of Michelson: In addition to his work with the speed of light, Michelson collaborated with Edward W. Morley in a famous experiment to analyze the motion of the Earth relative to the ether, the medium in which light was believed to travel. The experiment could find no evidence of the ether, a finding that paved the way for the acceptance of Einstein's theory of relativity published in 1905.
8. NAMUAC_150816_049.JPG: Revolving Mirrors: This set of revolving mirrors was an integral part of Michelson's interferometers. Knowing the speed of rotation and the length of the path that the beam of light traveled, the speed of light could be calculated.
9. NAMUAC_150816_066.JPG: The Academy Divided
10. NAMUAC_150816_112.JPG: Cost of Service: Of the 410 midshipmen who graduated from the Naval Academy through the Class of 1860, 174 remained with the Union and 72 served the Confederacy. Sixteen graduates died in the service of the North; seven in Southern service, a casualty rate of almost ten percent. Hardest hit was a Naval Academy Class of 1863; of its 55 members eight were killed in action, five for the North and three for the South. Many members of the Academy faculty also gave great sacrifices for their cause: Franklin Buchanan, the first Superintendent, commanded the CSS Virginia and was wounded in action trying to break the Union blockade of Hampton Roads. He was promoted to rear admiral and commanded the Confederate naval forces at Mobile Bay where he was taken as a prisoner of war. Samuel L. Marcy was killed while in command of the USS Vincennes on blockade duty off the Mississippi River. Henry Lockwood, a West Point graduate, returned to the army, received a commission as brigadier general of volunteers and fought at Gettysburg. James Harmon Ward, the first Commandant of Midshipmen, was the first naval officer killed in the war.
11. NAMUAC_150816_116.JPG: Return to Annapolis: Several towns, including Newport, vied for the honor of becoming the permanent home of the Naval Academy following the war. Secretary of Navy Gideon Welles held out for a return to Annapolis and Congress enacted a law requiring the Academy to return to Annapolis before October 1865. On August 9, 1885, the Academy returned from Newport, to find it wrecked by four years of wartime occupation. A "Graduate" wrote in October 1864 that "Thousands of dollars will be required to restore this valuable institution to its original condition."
12. NAMUAC_150816_119.JPG: Paris Exposition Certificate: At the Paris Universal Exposition in 1878, the Naval Academy received international recognition of a Gold Medal for having the best system of education in the United States, a testament to the efforts of Porter and his successors as superintendents of the Naval Academy.
13. NAMUAC_150816_124.JPG: Satsuma Bowl: Satsuma bowl given to Senator Ovington E Weller, president of the Naval Academy Class of 1881, by Admiral Baron Uryu, on the occasion of their class's 41st reunion.
14. NAMUAC_150816_128.JPG: Original Drawings from "Shakings," 1867: Among the earliest publications about midshipmen at the Naval Academy was a collection of humorous sketches by Park Benjamin, USNA 1867.
15. NAMUAC_150816_144.JPG: Return, Rebuild, Reform
16. NAMUAC_150816_170.JPG: The Start of Sports
17. NAMUAC_150816_180.JPG: The NEW Brigade: The battalion, regiment, or brigade of midshipmen, as they have variously been called, has reflected American society. For more than a hundred years, the Naval Academy echoed the white, male-dominated establishment. Soon after the Civil War, three blacks -- James Conyers, Alonzo C McClellan, and Henry E Baker Jr -- received appointments as midshipmen at the Naval Academy. For a variety of reasons, probably not least of which was the prevalent attitude toward blacks, all left the Academy within a year. These pioneers had made the first small steps toward integration of the Academy, but not for sixty years would two more make the attempt. Neither James Lee Johnson nor George J Trievers stayed more than a semester. Ostracized and harassed by many midshipmen, befriended by few, Brown persevered. In 1949, he became the first African-American graduate of the Naval Academy. Wesley Brown did not open wide the gates of the Academy to minorities, but they were open. Over the next twenty years, only 34 blacks graduated from the Academy. In the 1970s, a minority recruitment program was initiated which showed immediate results: from 1970 to 1974, the number of minorities at the Academy increased from 27 to 178, Black graduates have followed the same career paths as their white colleagues: admirals, generals, astronauts, and business leaders. Wesley A Brown -- USNA 1949: During latter stages of World War II, American attitudes towards race began slowly to change. Even so, when Wesley A. Brown was admitted to the Academy with the Class of 1949, life was not easy. Buildings around the Yard are named for heroes of the Navy and Marine Corps. The Academy's new field house is named for Wesley A. Brown who demonstrated his courage not on the field of battle, but in a daily battle against prejudice. His commission into the Navy was a recognition of his victory. Charles F Bolden Jr -- USNA 1968: Bolden accepted a commission in the US Marine Corps upon graduation and took flight training. Upon receiving his wings in 1970, he flew A-6 Intruders in Vietnam, making more than 100 sorties. Following two years as a recruiting officer in California, Bolden graduated from the Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland. In 1980, he was selected for the astronaut program and made four space flights. In June 1994, Bolden left NASA and returned to active duty in the Navy and Deputy Commandant of Midshipmen. Following that tour, Charles Bolden promoted to brigadier general in the Marine Corps. J. Paul Reason -- USNA 1965: Following graduation, Reason served in a destroyer escort, then received training in nuclear propulsion engineering. Most of his subsequent sea-going assignments were in nuclear-powered surface ships: cruisers Truxtun and Mississippi, and the carrier Enterprise. In 1976, he became Presidential Aide to President Jimmy Carter, then tours executive officer on board destroyer Coontz and commanding officer of the nuclear powered destroyer Bainbridge. After several group commands, Reason, appointed to vice admiral, assumed command of Naval Surface Force, US Atlantic Fleet; then with a fourth star became Commander in Chief, US Atlantic Fleet in December 1998. Lillie Mae Chase: Annapolis was a segregated town. Even as large numbers of blacks were being admitted to the Academy, they, their families, and their dates were denied admission to restaurants and theaters because of their race. Several women, including Ms Chase, or "Mama Lil", opened their heart and homes to these midshipmen. In these private settings, African-American midshipmen found a home away from home, a place to share experiences, provide support, and get a home-cooked meal. Some believe that if it were not for the generosity and love of these women, they could not have endured the sense of isolation they felt as a very small minority at the Academy. Their perseverance paid off, to the benefit of their nation. Among the midshipmen supported by Lillie Mae Chase are leaders in the Navy, Marine Corps, astronauts, and business.

22. NAMUAC_150816_197.JPG: The NEW Naval Academy: Following the war with Spain, victorious commanders, officers, and crews were greeted as heroes, but naval experts realized that was much room for improvement. New ships and new weapons demanded officers and crews be trained in their use. As the training school for future naval officers, the Naval Academy benefited from the awakened interest in the Navy. With the turn of the twentieth century, the Academy gained many of the buildings that still grace the Yard, a modern school for the modern navy. Secretary of the Navy John D. Long requested one million dollars from Congress to begin the rebuilding of the Naval Academy in accordance with the plans of Ernest Flagg.
23. NAMUAC_150816_210.JPG: In this view looking toward the Severn River, the foundation of Bancroft Hall is seen with Luce Hall in the background. To the right is the circular Fort Severn. This photo was taken in 1902.
24. NAMUAC_150816_213.JPG: A canal was dug along Porter River to help transport the heavy construction materials to the building sites.
25. NAMUAC_150816_215.JPG: The Chapel is shown under construction in 1905. Flagg modified the design to incorporate the crypt for John Paul Jones, whose burial place had been discovered a few years earlier. The nave of the Chapel was extended in 1940.
26. NAMUAC_150816_219.JPG: Spiral Slide Rule: Fuller's spiral slide rule was equivalent to a straight slide rule 83 feet 4 inches in length. This type was used at the Naval Academy beginning in 1879. Slide rules were a familiar feature of the midshipmen's academic life until replaced by pocket calculators in the 1970s.
27. NAMUAC_150816_224.JPG: Tradition
28. NAMUAC_150816_227.JPG: The Naval Academy Ball of 1869 was held in old Fort Severn which had been converted to a gymnasium.
29. NAMUAC_150816_230.JPG: Traditionally, the Ring Dance is the moment that Second Classmen may wear their class rings. But first, the rings must be "baptized in the waters of the seven seas," as shown in this photo of the Class of 1941 Ring Dance in June 1940.
30. NAMUAC_150816_233.JPG: Couples at the Ring Dance pass through a large replica of the class ring. A couple at the Class of 1963 Ring Dance pose between the ring and the binnacle containing the water of the seven seas.
31. NAMUAC_150816_238.JPG: The Farewell Ball is in honor of the graduating seniors. In 1938, it was held in Dahlgren Hall in the shadow of a pair of 6" guns.
32. NAMUAC_150816_244.JPG: An Era of Change: In little more than twenty years, at the height of the Cold War, the Naval Academy initiated and experienced the most profound, and lasting, changes of its existence. Much of the character and traditions of the school remained; new, however, was the educational system that placed a premium on analytical thought and the expansion of the makeup of the Brigade to reflect better the makeup of American society. Education Revolution: For more than a hundred years, since 1850, the Naval Academy's system of teaching midshipmen changed little: summer training cruises and classroom education emphasizing a technical knowledge of shipboard systems and weapons. In the late 1950s, the emphasis began to change, culminating a decade later with the introduction of academic majors programs. No longer would midshipmen follow the same lock-step curriculum, but one designed to produce leaders in the modern Navy and Marine Corps. Reforming the System: The Board of Visitors recommended in 1957 an evaluation of the curriculum which they saw as essentially shop courses in naval technology. Two years later, midshipmen were given an opportunity to validate courses, that is take advanced classes if they could show a mastery of the basics. Throughout the 1960s, changes continued: minors were introduced in 1964, and five years later 24 majors programs were recognized. Indicative of the new educational program was the fact from 1959 to 1978, the number of academic courses offered at the Naval Academy increased from forty to more than 500.
33. NAMUAC_150816_248.JPG: Although the uniforms and desks have changed over about fifty years, instruction in mathematics had not. In 1950, as in about 1900, midshipmen were given a daily problem to work out on the blackboard.
34. NAMUAC_150816_251.JPG: In the 1890s, midshipmen got a practical, hands-on introduction to working at a forge.
35. NAMUAC_150816_254.JPG: In the 1960s, electrical engineering laboratories had midshipmen connecting electrical cables. Carelessness often resulted in spectacular fireworks.
36. NAMUAC_150816_258.JPG: Marching to Class: Perhaps most symbolic of the earlier form of education was marching to class. Everyone took the same four-year curriculum; the only option being which foreign language a midshipman selected. With little choice in classes, each company formed up and marched to class with a drummer in the bandstand beating cadence. In January 1961, the increasing complexity of scheduling classes forced the retirement of the tradition of marching to class. Increased responsibility was placed on midshipmen to develop their own academic schedule and get to class on time.
37. NAMUAC_150816_260.JPG: Calculator: The hand-held calculator has replaced the slide rule tool for solving mathematical and scientific problems. Slide Rule: Multiplication, division, and many other mathematical calculations could be performed with reasonable accuracy on a slide rule.
38. NAMUAC_150816_265.JPG: Founding the Naval Academy: Calls for the creation of a naval school, in which midshipmen could be taught skills needed at sea, were heard as early as John Paul Jones. The Military Academy at West Point was founded in 1802, yet most naval officers continued to perfect their skills at sea until 1845. Some temporary schools, on board receiving ships and at the Philadelphia Naval Asylum, did prepare some midshipmen to take the examination for lieutenant, but the increasing application of steam power and other new technologies to the Navy, called for improved training of young officers. "[The] glamor of a naval education [would] produce degeneracy and corruption of the public morality, and change our simple Republican habits." -- A Congressman A New Campus: At the suggestion of William Chauvenet, a Yale graduate and instructor at the midshipman school at the Philadelphia Navy Asylum, to expand the curriculum to two years. Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft went further, creating a four-year school. Bancroft acquired Fort Severn, in Annapolis, Maryland, from the Army and ordered Cmdr Franklin Buchanan to organize the school and its programs. Bancroft's use of discretionary funds circumvented Congress's resistance to founding a naval school. The Naval School: When the Naval School began classes on October 10, 1845, not all midshipmen were available to begin classes; some were at sea as far distance as the Far East squadron. Over a period of months, the first classes arrived in Annapolis. Until 1850, midshipmen spent three years at sea and final year at the school preparing for their examination. In 1850, the name of the school was changed to the Naval Academy, and the curriculum was changed to a four-year plan similar to that still in use: nine months of academic followed by a summer practice cruise. George Bancroft -- Secretary of the Navy: George Bancroft was born in 1800. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard University before earning a doctorate in Gottingen, Germany, in 1820. After a brief career in the ministry, he taught Greek at Harvard then started a progressive school at Round Hill School in Northhampton, Massachusetts. In 1827, he began writing his ten-volumne History of the United States. He entered local politics, but while unsuccessful in elections, he was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President James Polk. Bancroft established the Naval Academy in Annapolis, and guided the Navy through the first part of the war with Mexico. He later served as ambassador to Great Britain and then minister to Prussia and Germany. George Bancroft died in 1891. The Mexican War: With the announcement of war with Mexico in May 1846, Superintendent Franklin Buchanan and 56 midshipmen volunteered for service. Buchanan's request, like that of most of the midshipmen, was turned down by the Secretary of the Navy. In the course of the war, ninety alumni would see service; one alumnus would die of disease. Four midshipmen would be killed in the line of duty. Their colleagues at the Naval Academy took up a collection to erect a monument, the first at the Academy, in their honor.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2015 photos: I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
