  • Rear Admiral Charles H. Stockton, the Naval War College, and the Law of Naval Warfare
    Rear Admiral Charles H. Stockton, the Naval War College, and the Law of Naval Warfare John Hattendorf INCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1884, the U.S. Naval War College has played a § role in the study and formulation of the law of armed conflict. Many distinguished scholars and lawyers have taught, researched, and written studies in this field at the College. The roll call of its professors of international law includes such distinguished scholars as John Bassett Moore, George Grafton Wilson, Manley o. Hudson, Hans Kelsen, Thomas Mallison, and Howard Levie. Many of the most well~known names are those of scholars who held the position as a parHime appointment and worked at the Naval War College for a few months each year, while also holding chairs at major civilian universities. This policy changed only in July 1951, when the Secretary of the Navy created the College's first two full~time civilian academic appointments: a professor of history and a professor of international law. For many years both were normally held by visiting scholars for a one or two~year period. On 6 October 1967 the College named the law position the Charles H. Stockton Chair ofInternational Law.1 In attaching the name of Stockton to one of its oldest and most prestigious academic chairs, the Naval War College remembered a naval officer who was a key figure in its own institutional history as well as an important figure in the development of the law of naval warfare. Today, the prestigious Stockton Chair at the Naval War College, and Stockton Hall, the home of the Law School at The George Washington University in Stockton, the War College and the Law Washington, D.C., are the principal tokens of his memory and his achievements.

INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
