UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY.

Situated at Annapolis, Md.

SUPERINTENDENT, CAPTAIN WILLARD H. BROWNSON, U. S. N. Nomination.-The students of the Naval Academy are styled midshipmen. Two midshipmen are allowed for each Senator, Representative and Delegate in Congress, two for the District of Columbia, and five each year from the United States at large. The appointments from the District of Columbia and five each year at large are made by the President. One midshipman is allowed from Porto Rico, who must be a native of that island. The appointment is made by the President, on the recommendation of the Governor of Porto Rico.

The Congressional appointments are equitably distributed, so that in regular course each Senator, Representative and Delegate in Congress may appoint one midshipman during each Congress. After June 30, 1913, each Senator, Representative and Delegate in Congress will be allowed to appoint only one midshipman instead of two.

The course for midshipmen is six years-four years at the academy, when the succeeding appointment is made, and two years at sea, at the expiration of which time the examination for final graduation takes place. Midshipmen who pass the examination for final graduation are appointed to fill vacancies in the lower grades of the line of the navy and of the Marine Corps, in the order of merit as determined by the Academic Board of the Naval Academy.

The Naval Appropriation act of March 4, 1903. prescribed this method of nominations: "The Secretary of the Navy shall as soon as practicable after the fifth day of March in each year notify in writing each Senator, Representative and Delegate in Congress of any vacancy which may be regarded as existing in the State, district or Territory which he represents, and the nomination of a candidate to fill such vacancy shall be made upon the recommendation of the Senator, Representative or Delegate. Such recommendation shall be made by the first day of June of that year, and if rot so made the Secretary of the Navy shall fill the vacancy by the appointment of an actual resident of the State, district or Territory in which the vacancy exists, who shall have been for at least two years immediately preceding his appointment an actual bona fide resident of the State, district or Territory in which the vacancy exists and shall have the qualifications otherwise prescribed by law.

"And provided further, that the Superintendent of the Naval Academy shall make such rules, to be approved by the Secretary of the Navy, as will effectually prevent the practice of bazing; and any cadet found guilty of participating in or encouraging or countenancing such practice shall be summarily expelled from the academy, and shall not thereafter be reappointed to the corps of cadets or be eligible for appointment as a commissioned officer in the army or navy or Marine Corps until two years after the graduation of the class of which he was a member."

Candidates allowed for Congressional districts, for Territories and for the District of Columbia must be actual residents of the districts or Territories, respectively, from which they are nominated. All candidates must, at the time of their examination for admission, be between sixteen and twenty years old.

Entrance Examinations.-From 1903 on the following examinations for admission will be held:

1. The general examination, to be held on the third Tuesday in April, under the supervision of the Civil Service Commission, at points named by the Commission. 2. A second examination to be held at Washington, D. Č., only, on the second Tuesday in May, under the supervisior of the Civil Service Commission.

3. A third examination will be held at Annapolis, Md., only, on the third Tuesday in June, under the supervision of the Superintendent of the Naval Academy.

Candidates are examined mentally only at the examinations held under the supervision of the Civil Service Commission. All those qualifying mentally who entitled to appointment in order of nomination will be notified by the Superintendent of the Academy when to report at the Academy for physical examination, and if physically qualified will be appointed. Should any special examination be authorized by the Secretary, other than above, it will be immediately after the third Tuesday in June. Under the law, candidates falling to pass the entrance examination will not be allowed another examination for admission to the same class unless recommended-for re-examination by the Board of Examiners, The Civil Service Commission only conducts the examination of candidates whose names have been furnished by the Navy Department. All correspondence relative to the nomination and examination of candidates should be addressed to the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department. Candidates will be examined physically at the Naval Academy. by a board composed of three medical officers of the navy. To be accepted applicants must be free from infectious or moral disorder and, generally, from any deformity, disease or infirmity. No one will be admitted manifestly under size for his age Five feet is the minimum height prescribed for acceptance. When any candidate who has been nominated upon the recommendation of a Senator. Member or Delegate of the House of Representatives is found, upon examination, to be physically or mentally disqualified for admission, the Senator, Member or Delegate shall be notified to recommend another candidate, who shall be examined according to the provisions of the preceding section.

Candidates are required to enter the academy immediately after passing the prescrcibed examinations. No leave of absence is granted midshipmen of the fourth class. Each midshipman must sign articles binding himself to serve in the U. S. Navy eight years (including his time of probation at the Naval Academy), unless sooner discharged. The pay of a midshipman is $500 a year, beginning on admission.
