Luce and signed by the Secretary of the Navy, William E. Chandler, establishing the Naval War College and making Commodore Luce its first president. GENERAL ORDER, NO. 325. October 6, 1884. A college is hereby established for an advanced course of professional study for naval officers, to be known as the Naval War College. It will be under the general supervision of the Bureau of Navigation. The principal building on Coasters’ Har- bor Island, Newport, R.I., will be assigned to its use, and is hereby transferred, with the surrounding structures and the grounds immediately adjacent, to the custody and control of the Bureau of Navigation for that purpose. The college will be under the immediate charge of an officer of the Navy, not below the grade of commander, to be known as the President of the Naval War College. He will be assisted in the performance of his duties by a faculty. A course of instruction, embracing the higher branches of professional study, will be arranged by a board, consisting of all the members of the faculty and including the president, who will be the presiding officer of the board. The board will have regular meetings at least once a month, and at such other times as the president may direct, for the transaction of business. The proceedings of the board will be recorded in a journal. The course of instruction will be open to all officers above the grade of naval cadet. Commodore S. B. Luce has been assigned to duty as the president of the college. WM. E. CHANDLER, Secretary of the Navy. This year the institution marked its 120th anni- versary with ceremonies on 6 October (including an “appearance” by the Commodore) and a commemorative coin—as well as with a highly successful visit in September by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. That visit completed the on-site evaluation phase of a process (the ten-year comprehensive evalua- tion required for all NEASC-accredited colleges) that, we are confident, will ultimately continue the College’s accreditation, originally granted in 1994, to confer the master of arts degree in na- tional security and strategic studies. “The principal building on Coasters’ [sic] Harbor Island” was the poorhouse and asylum for the deaf and dumb of Newport, Rhode Island. Built in 1819 and renamed Founders Hall in 1976, it now houses the Naval War College Museum, the Maritime History Department, and the Naval War College Press.

Cerny The reliability of interstate balances of power is declining; the capacity of the “states system” to provide security is deteriorating; the state itself is coming under increasing centrifugal pressure from both outside and inside, from above and from below; and the reshaping of the wider political environment in reaction to complex globalization remains rudimentary and uneven.
