2 U.S. Naval Academy Information Page 2 Naval Academy at the Head of the Class for Graduation Rates For the second year in a row, the United States Naval Academy is at the head of the class for graduating NCAA student-athletes on the Division IA level. Navy graduated 100 percent of its student-athletes in 16 of the 19 sports reported on and no sport graduated lower than 97 percent. Our student-athletes continually strive to set the standard on the playing fields, in the classroom and in Bancroft Hall, said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. The support and encouragement they receive through the Commandant and his staff and the academic dean s office is extraordinary and provides tremendous motivation to be successful across the board. We are all proud to be leaders on the field, but even more so when we can prove to be leaders in the classroom as well. It clearly defines the true meaning of student-athlete.

The Academy moved its location to Newport, R.I., from during the Civil War. Originally just 10 acres, The Yard has grown to a size of 338 acres. Anchors Aweigh Anchors Aweigh was written by Lt. Charles Zimmerman, musical director of the Naval Academy, in 1906, with the lyrics provided by Alfred H. Miles 06 as a fight song for the 1907 graduating class. The song made its debut at the 1906 Army-Navy game and when the Mids won, the song became traditional at the contest. Stand Navy down the field, Sails set to the sky, We ll never change our course, So Army you steer shy. Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh, Sail Navy down the field, And sink the Army, sink the Army Grey Brigade of Midshipmen The 4,000-member student body at the Naval Academy is called the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Brigade is organized into: 2 regiments 6 battalions 30 companies Bill the Goat The first recorded use of a goat as the mascot for Navy teams was in 1893 when an animal named El Cid (the Chief) was presented to the Brigade by officers of the USS New York. El Cid helped Navy to a 6-4 win over Army that year and a goat became the permanent mascot of the Academy in Class Ranks Freshmen -- Fourth Class Year, Plebes Sophomores -- Third Class Year, Youngsters Juniors -- Second Class Year Seniors -- First Class Year, Firsties Co-Ed Thirty years ago this year, during the 1976 summer, women were first admitted to the Naval Academy. Today, women comprise roughly 15 percent of the student body. Marine Corps Graduates of the Naval Academy entering the Marine Corps (commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants) have the following service options available to them... Aviation -- air command and control, anti-air warfare, aviation maintenance, aviation supply, pilot, naval flight officer. Ground -- armor*, artillery*, communications (information systems), engineering, financial management, infantry*, logistics, military police (* not available to women) Midshipman The original 17th Century meaning of the word midshipsmen designated those men who stood watch amidships, or in the middle portion of a ship. The middle s was later dropped to give the current form of the word. Midshipmen were originally young boys who were apprenticed to sea captains to learn the trade. In the early days of the Navy, midshipmen were trained aboard ship until they were commissioned as ensigns. Navy Graduates of the Naval Academy entering the Navy (commissioned as Ensigns) have the following service options available to them... Aviation -- flight officer, pilot Nuclear Propulsion -- ships, submarines* Restricted Line and Staff Corps -- civil engineering, cryptology, intelligence, maintenance, medicine, meteorology/oceanography, supply Special Operations -- explosive ordinance disposal, explosive ordinance management, mine countermeasures, operational diving and salvage, Navy SEALs* Surface Warfare -- conventional, nuclear powered Submarines* (* not available to women) Nickname The official nickname for all of Navy s athletic teams is Midshipmen. Mids is an appropriate abbreviation, while Middie is inappropriate. N-Star Members of varsity teams who qualify for the varsity letter receive an N-Star for their letter sweaters if they participate in a victory over Army in any sport-designated Star Game. The varsity N and corresponding N-Star were initiated during the early 1890s.
