NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MARKS SIXTY YEARS OF EDUCATION
This month the Naval Postgraduate School celebrates its 60th anniversary. It is fully accredited, occupies a multi-million dollar campus, graduates over 600 offi cers a year, and offers over 80 courses in science, engineering and management. Today, more than 300 officers will graduate. Seventy-five percent of them are naval officers; the others represent the Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and seven foreign navies. When the Naval Postgraduate School was established at Annapolis on June 9, 1909, only ten officers made up the class, three professors formed the faculty, and marine engineering was the only curriculum. When the class was graduated two years later, Beekman Winthrop, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, told them "there will be some day a postgraduate course to call all the officers of the Navy together. This school is the beginning, and may be the one on which the Navy Department of the future may have to depend." Now, sixty years later, it appears that he was right.
EARLY YEARS After a shaky start, the Naval Postgraduate School became a department of the Naval Academy. In the twenty years following World War l, more and more officers packed their seabags and reported to the classroom. The school began to take shape. One of the most important steps was the addition of a General Line School in 1927. It was designed to teach junior line officers everything from navi gation to naval operations, and sharpen their professional development for com mand at sea. World War 2 forced the Postgraduate School to expand. Courses swelled to in clude ordnance, aerological, aeronautical, mechanical and radio engineering. By 1945, nearly 3,000 officers had graduated and returned to the fleet. The technological explosion following the war pointed out that on-the-job training was just not enough to keep pace with a changing world. Consequently, in 1945, Congress authorized the Naval Postgraduate School to grant master's and doctor's degrees. Two years later the school separated from the Naval Aca demy and became a unique institution.
SCHOOL MOVES TO MONTEREY After thirty-six years, the Naval Postgraduate School had come of age. It had also outgrown its East Coast facilities and in 1947 the Navy purchased a perman ent site in Monterey. In 1951 the school officially settled into the buildings and grounds of what was once a playground for the wealthy - the Del Monte Hotel. Gift shops became offices, dining parlors turned into classrooms, and hotel rooms were converted to bachelor officers quarters.

RONALD A. DESPARD, LCDR, USN • The Pacific Grove Pres.s The Postgraduate School has continued to mature during its eighteen years in Monterey. In 1956 a management school joined the well established engineering and general line schools. It was set up to educate officers in management tech niques for future command positions. The three schools merged in 1962, in effect making the Naval Postgraduate School a naval university. The school's job is not an easy one. It must educate officers to handle today's technology while anticipating tomorrow's. The idea is to teach men to understand, use, improve on, and perhaps invent things or concepts. The rocket propulsion sys tems a student studies in the lab may be obsolete by the time he graduates, but its purpose is to teach him scientific principles - not how to fix old rockets.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS The Postgraduate School offers eight curricula: baccalaureate, aeronautical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, engineering science, enviromental sciences, management and operations analysis, naval engineering, and ordnance engineering. Within these curricula are individually tailored pro grams offering a potpourri of electives in addition to required courses. Each curri culum is headed by a naval officer. The civilian faculty, in turn, directs classroom and laboratory instruction, re search and thesis work. The 234-man faculty is recruited from colleges and univer sities all over the world. Over 70 percent of them hold the Ph.D. degree. The faculty is divided into academic departments. The student enrolls in a specific curriculum, but may take courses from many of the eleven departments - aeronautics, business administration and economics, electrical engineering, government and humanities, material science and chemistry, mathematics, mech- - anical engineering, meteorology, oceanography, operations anaylsis and physics. Each academic department is headed by a civilian faculty member.
FAMOUS GRADUATES The Naval Postgraduate School has awarded 7,618 degrees since 1945. Most of the graduates go on to future assignments at the operational, or staff level, as well as command. A number of alumni have already made significant contribu tions to their professions and to science -Admiral Arleigh "31-knot" Burke, Admir al U. S. Grant Sharp, Jr., and Vice Admiral Hyman Rickover, to name a few. Seven graduates are astronauts, including Commander Eugene Ceman, who just circumnavigated the moon in Apollo 10.
