ANNAPOLISThe City of Annapolis has been home to the Naval Academy for all but

four years since the founding of the school in 1845 on the grounds of whatoriginally was the Army’s Fort Severn. The Academy moved its location toNewport, Rhode Island, from 1861-1865 during the Civil War.

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 itsdebut at the 1906 Army-Navy game and when the Mids won, the songbecame 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

BANCROFT HALLNamed after the former Secretary of the Navy (1845-46) and founder of

the Naval Academy George Bancroft, Bancroft Hall serves as the dormitoryfor the entire Brigade of Midshipmen. Its 33 acres of floor space and nearlyfive miles of hallways makes it one of the largest dorms in the world.

BRIGADE OF MIDSHIPMENThe 4,200-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 GOATThe first recorded use of a goat as the

mascot for Navy teams was in 1893 when ananimal named El Cid (the Chief) was present-ed to the Brigade by officers of the USS NewYork. El Cid helped Navy to a 6-4 win overArmy that year and a goat became the perma-nent mascot of the Academy in 1904.

BLUE & GOLDNow, colleges from sea to seaMay sing of colors true;But who has better right than weTo hoist a symbol hue?For sailors brave in battle fair,Since fighting days of old,Have proved the sailor’s right to wearThe Navy Blue and Gold

CLASS RANKSFirst-year students at the Naval Academy are referred to as “plebes”

during their initial or “Fourth Class” year in school, while sophomores atNavy, members of the “Third Class,” are called “youngsters.” Juniors at theschool are designated as “Second Class,” with seniors called “Firsties” inreference to their “First Class” year.

CO-EDWomen were first admitted to the Naval Academy dur-

ing the summer of 1976. Today, women comprise roughly 15percent of the student body.

COMMISSIONED OFFICERSWhen a student graduates from the Naval Academy,

they have the option to enter either the Navy or the MarineCorps as an officer. If they choose to join the Navy, they arecommissioned as Ensigns, while those entering the MarineCorps are given the rank of Second Lieutenant.

first naval leader leader and hero, is located below the NavalAcademy Chapel.

The native of Scotland was born in 1747, and travelledto the colonies to assist America during the RevolutionaryWar. His ship never lost a battle as he reached a rank of cap-tain in the Continental Navy.

Jones died in 1792 in Paris, France, and was buriedthere. His remains were returned to the United States in 1905and he was interred at the Naval Academy eight years later.

2008 SEASON

MIDSHIPMANThe original 17th Century meaning of the word “midshipsmen” des-

ignated those men who stood watch “amidships”, or in the middle portionof a ship. The middle “s” was later dropped to give the current form ofthe word.

Midshipmen were originally young boys who were apprenticed tosea captains to learn the trade.

In the early days of the Navy, midshipmen were trained aboard shipuntil they were commissioned as ensigns.

NAVYGraduates of the Naval Academy entering the Navy have the follow-

ing 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

NICKNAMEThe official nickname for all of Navy’s athletic teams is Midshipmen.

“Mids” is an appropriate nickname, while “Middie” is inappropriate.

N-STARMembers 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 inany sport-designated Star Game.

The varsity N and corresponding N-Star were initiated during the early1890s.

SCHOOL COLORSEach class at the Naval Academy produced their own set of class col-

ors until 1892 when Navy Blue and Gold were established as the official col-ors for the entire Naval Academy.

SUMMER TRAININGSummers remain a busy and challenging time of year for midshipmen.

Their initial tenure at the Naval Academy begins around July 1 prior to thestart of the freshman year at the school with “Plebe Summer.” Instead oftaking academic classes, plebes receive military indoctrination and learnbasic seamanship and sailing.

The summer following plebe year is spent aboard various ships to gainknowledge and experience of the workings of the Navy. Included in thistime is a three-week cruise aboard either a 44-foot Naval Academy sailboator a Yard Patrol craft traveling on the East Coast.

Portions of the summer before the start of a second-class year is spentvisiting bases of both the Navy and the Marine Corps. That leads up to thenext summer when midshipmen join an operational unit of the Navy orMarine Corps for several weeks. In addition, rising firsties also begin toaccept leadership roles at either the Naval Academy for plebe summer, theNaval Academy Prep School (Newport, R.I.) or aboard a yard patrol or sail-ing cruise.

TECUMSEHTecumseh is the Native American figurehead which has been facing

Bancroft Hall since 1866.The statue originally was the figurehead of the USS Delaware and

named after Tamanend, a Delaware chief. The name was later changed toTecumseh after a Shawnee chieftain who lived from 1768-1813.

The original wooden statue was replaced after 50 years by the currentbronze version.

Tecumseh is painted prior to football games and duringCommissioning Week he is adorned with the shoulder boards of a Navyensign on one side and that of a Marine Corps second lieutenant on theother.

THE YARD“The Yard” is another name for the grounds of the Naval Academy.

Originally just 10 acres, The Yard has grown to a size of 338 acres.

In Annapolis history constantly surrounds you. It is being made in our gov-ernments, planned for in educational institutions and celebrated in our surround-ings.

In 2008 and 2009 Annapolis will celebrate a most significant anniversary –300 years of democracy. In 1708 Queen Anne of Great Britain gave Annapolis itsCity Charter, establishing a lasting representative government for some and marking the beginningof the struggle for full voting rights and emancipation for others.

This had significance far beyond the borders of our then small city. It resulted in the first last-ing democratic representative processes in Maryland and the southern colonies of Great Britain andestablished a record of “firsts.” Northern colonies had democratic processes earlier, but in thesouth officials were all appointed by the governors or other colonial officials. The election of ourfirst city council, consisting of a Mayor and Aldermen, has been unbroken down to the presentday – from Amos Garrett to Ellen Moyer.

It was also significant in that it laid bare a reality of the 18th century world; that some peo-ple were neither free nor enfranchised. This marked the beginning of the struggle for votingrights for women and people of color through the 20th century.

The city has celebrated this important milestone in the past, most recently in 1983 at the275th birthday. In 1908 a large celebration was held that included most churches and civicgroups in the city. The railroads even offered reduced fares for day excursions for those inBaltimore and Washington who wished to join in Annapolis’ celebrations. See the entire 1908booklet.

In 2008 the city will make the effort to remem-ber its history throughout the full 300 years of its his-tory, the struggles, conflicts and cultures that havecome together to make us what we are today. Wealso hope to look forward to remake our city intowhat we would like it to be in the future.

u Annapolis has more of itsoriginal 18th century structuresstanding than any other city in theUnited States.

u The city is the home to theTate House where GeorgeWashington tendered his resigna-tion as General of the ContinentalArmy following the RevolutionaryWar.

u The capital of Maryland was the country's capitalwhen the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War,was signed here. All four Maryland signers of theDeclaration of Independence had impressive homes inAnnapolis, which still stand today.

u More than 4 million people ayear visit Annapolis.

u Annapolis featured the first theater in the new world.

NAVY >> ATHLETIC DIRECTOR CHET GLADCHUKL A C R O S S E

In his six years at the Naval Academy, Director of Athletics ChetGladchuk has overseen a renaissance of Navy athletics. His admin-istrative leadership in a number of areas has helped lead the pro-gram to one of the most successful periods in school history.

Gladchuk’s efforts have been recognized on a national level aswell, as the Division IA Athletic Directors Association named him the2005 Bobby Dodd Athletic Director of the Year. The award is pre-sented in recognition of an athletic director’s support and commit-ment toward the successful advancement of the department, mostspecifically in the sport of football. Additionally, he was recognized bythe Secretary of the Navy for his contributions and service to theNavy and the Naval Academy with the Superior Public ServiceAward to the Department of the Navy.

Last year, the Navy football team posted a 9-4 record, won theCommander-In-Chief’s Trophy for a school-record fourth-consecu-tive year and participated in a bowl game for a record fourth-straightyear.

The football team isn't the only successful squad at the NavalAcademy, as Navy athletic teams have won better than 60 percentof their contests during Gladchuk's tenure and close to 70 percentover the last two years.

Gladchuk has been able to parlay Navy’s athletic success into anexclusive television deal with College Sports Television that has sig-nificantly increased Navy’s television exposure. CSTV, thefirst 24-hour college sports network, televises every Navyhome and select neutral site football games (excluding NotreDame and Army which will be televised nationally by CBS), aswell as other Midshipmen men's and women's athletic events,original programming and documentaries centered on the sto-ried Navy athletic program. The long-term multi-media agree-ment includes internet streaming, broadband and video-on-demand rights and high definition rights. A major part of theagreement was that all home football games would be playedon Saturday for the convenience of the Navy alumni.

Gladchuk has also added radio giants WBAL (1090 AM) inBaltimore and Washington Post Radio (1500 AM and 107.7FM) and WFED (1050 AM) in Washington D.C./NorthernVirginia to Navy’s radio network.

WBAL Radio, which is also the home of the Ravens, isMaryland's dominant and most powerful radio station. Since1925, generations of Marylanders have turned to WBALRadio for news, weather, thought-provoking discussions andsports. As Maryland's only 50,000-watt AM station, WBAL'ssignal travels substantially further than any other station in thestate.

Washington Post Radio, which is also the home of theWashington Nationals, is a 50,000-watt station that will air aminimum of 10 regular-season football games, while WFED(1050 AM) in Northern Virginia will broadcast all 12 regular-season football games.

Since being introduced as the Academy's 28th Director ofAthletics on Sept. 4, 2001, Gladchuk has hit the ground run-ning. From the hiring of Paul Johnson as head football coachto the renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium,Gladchuk has made improvements in several key areas thatwill prove more success on the athletic fields for years tocome. Recent head coaching hires such as Bill Roberts inmen’s swimming, John Morrison in women’s swimming, PaulKostacopoulos in baseball and the all-time winningestwomen’s lacrosse coach in NCAA history, Cindy Timchal, hasadvanced those programs into the national limelight.

In Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy, he has seen

35 different teams win conference titles, while 23 teams haveadvanced to NCAA postseason play.

Gladchuk has also worked tirelessly to bring back school spirit,working in conjunction with school officials to encourage midshipmento attend events for all sports. Over the past four years, an averageof 1,800 midshipmen have given up their leave time to travel toNavy’s bowl game.

Gladchuk has embraced the local community and alumni base,and is an often-requested speaker. His regular ‘Ask the AD’ columnon navysports.com is one of the most popular features on Navy’sinternet site.

Gladchuk’s biggest impact on the Academy in his first year wasthe hiring of Paul Johnson as a head football coach. Johnson cameto the Naval Academy from Georgia Southern where he posted a 62-10 (.861) record, won two-straight I-AA National Championships(1999 and 2000) and was named the Division I-AA National Coachof the Year four-consecutive times (1997-2000).

After hiring Johnson, Gladchuk set his sights on a $42 million ren-ovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium where he com-pletely refurbished the football stadium over a four-year time frame.The addition of 6,500 permanent seats on the sidelines and in theend zones, luxury boxes, dropping the field eight feet and moving thesidelines closer, two video scoreboards, a memorial plaza, upgrad-

NAVY >> NAVAL ACADEMY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONL A C R O S S E

The Naval Academy AthleticAssociation (NAAA), founded in1891 by Robert Means Thompson,is a non-profit organization whoseobjective is to “promote, support andassist in financing the athletic con-tests of the Midshipmen of theUnited States Naval Academy” inaccordance with the policy of theSuperintendent of the Academy.

Through an intercollegiate ath-letic program, which is one of thelargest in the country, and a highly-organized intramural and club sportsprogram run by the Naval Academy,each midshipman is afforded theopportunity to compete in athleticsat a level commensurate with his orher abilities. The emphasis onphysical fitness is borne out in thefirst line of the mission of the NavalAcademy: To develop midshipmenmorally, mentally and physically.

The NAAA’s presence on thegrounds of the Naval Academy wasestablished by Public Law 75-50 ofMarch 26, 1938. Under the terms ofthat law, the Superintendent of theAcademy was authorized to acceptgifts and bequests of money fromthe Navy Athletic Association (as the NAAA was thennamed) and the Naval Institute to use that money toconstruct a building for use as a United States NavalAcademy Museum on land owned by the UnitedStates. Thus, Preble Hall was erected at the NavalAcademy. That same public law authorized theSecretary of the Navy to accept the building and touse and maintain such building as the Naval AcademyMuseum and for the administrative offices of the NavyAthletic Association and the Naval Institute. NAAAlater moved to Ricketts Hall.

NAAA funds are generated through admissionscharged for intercollegiate athletic contests, broadcastappearances by Navy teams on television and radio,from dues and gifts from members of the associationthrough corporate sponsorships and from interest oninvested funds. All revenue received by the NAAA iscommitted to the support of the Academy’s intercolle-giate athletic program.

The NAAA arranges the schedules for intercolle-giate athletics, including the 30 varsity sports (21 formen, nine for women) and nine plebe/junior varsityteams, provides coaching staffs and equipment andmaintains a central office to handle the administrativedetails of the athletic program.

The NAAA is governed by an Athletic Board ofControl composed of seven members, chaired by theCommandant of Midshipmen, and reporting to theSuperintendent of the Academy. The other membersare the President (Director of Athletics) and VicePresident of the NAAA (Deputy Director of Athletics),two members of the faculty and staff at the NavalAcademy as appointed by the Superintendent; an

Officer Representative for a varsity athletic team, whoshall be recommended by the Director of Athletics andappointed by the Commandant of Midshipmen; and theInstitutional Athletic Representative to the NCAA whoshall be appointed by the Superintendent.

All negotiations, plans, appointments and acts ofthe NAAA which affect the Naval Academy athleticprogram are subject to the review and approval of theNAAA Board of Control and the Superintendent of theNaval Academy.

The NAAA is headed by the Director of Athleticsand his staff members which include the DeputyDirector of Athletics (an active duty Naval Officer), theAssociate Directors of Athletics and Assistant Directorsof Athletics, who are responsible for the finances of theassociation, compliance with NCAA rules, promotionand publicity, operations, scheduling, admissions andacademic support of the intercollegiate athletic pro-gram.

Membership in the NAAA can be obtained byjoining our Blue & Gold Club. Currently there are6,500 alumni, naval officers and friends of Navy athlet-ics. The membership was opened to all interestedparties in the early 1980s. In 2004 it changed itsname to "The Blue & Gold". The intention and missionof this vehicle for giving remains the same, as hasbeen the case for more than 113 years - supportingthe Brigade of Midshipmen in intercollegiate athletics.

The mission is simple: We expect to win ineverything we do - on and off the field of competition.The Blue & Gold provides the supplemental resourcesnecessary to assist our coaches and midshipmen torealisticlaly pursue the highest level of success with

the contecxt of their physical challenges, We are aninstitution invested in a mission that educates futureleaders in moral, mental and physical excellence. TheBlue & Gold enables our midshipmen to pursue thehighest goals possible as members of varsity or juniorvarsity teams.

The Naval Academy Athletic Association oper-ates and maintains the Navy-Marine Corps MemorialStadium and the Naval Academy Golf Course andcoordinates the use of such other athletic facilities asAlumni Hall for basketball; Halsey Field House fortrack and field and wrestling; Lejeune Hall for swim-ming, water polo and wrestling; Macdonough Hall forgymnastics and volleyball; Bishop Stadium for base-ball; Ingram Field for track and field; the Glenn WarnerSoccer Stadium and Rip Miller field, an all-purposepractice facility used by lacrosse and football.

Since 1924, the NAAA has invested in many per-manent projects at the Naval Academy. The NAAA’sinterests relate not only to athletics, but to the overallquality of life enhancing the training and developmentof the Midshipmen
