History of the Office of the Superintendent
The plan of the Naval School at Fort Severn, Annapolis, Maryland, approved by the Navy Department August 28, 1846, provided that a Superintendent of the school be appointed by the Secretary of the Navy from a list of officers of a rank not higher than commander. The Superintendent was to have responsibility for the general management of the institution, including overseeing the course of study, professors, and other personnel connected with the Academy. He could appoint and remove all persons employed at the Academy except those for whose appointment or discharge special provision was made by the laws or regulations of the Navy or the Academy. He had general charge of the buildings, grounds, and ships belonging to the Academy. The Superintendent also formulated the code of rules and regulations for the internal government of the school to be submitted to the Secretary of the Navy for approval. After 1867, officers were assigned by the Navy Department to the Academy to serve as assistants or aides to the Superintendent. The Office of the Superintendent as described in the 1846 plan remained relatively unchanged throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Officers of ranks higher than commander, however, have served in the position.
This entry begins during the Superintendence of Commander William T. Sampson (1886-1890). Sampson's Administration was marked by a revival in Naval Academy athletics, severe persecution of hazing offenses, the introduction of the "aptitude for the service" grade designed to measure a cadet's potential as a Naval Officer, and the establishment of modern studies in electricity and metallurgy. Regarding the latter, Sampson strongly emphasized the general technical aspects of the Academy's curriculum, particularly work in machine shops, and established the tradition of inviting distinguished scientists to lecture. Near the end of his tour, Sampson influenced Congress to reestablish a plan for the specialized instruction course for engineers. The effort resulted in a system, effective in 1889, wherein first classmen divided into line and engineer sections, with distinct curricula prescribed to each. The series extends through the administrations of superintendents Captain Robert L. Phythian (1890-1894), Captain Philip H. Cooper (1894-1898), Rear Admiral Fredrick V. McNair (1898-1900), and Commander Richard Wainwright (1900-1902). The series ends with the administrations of Superintendents Captain Willard H. Brownson (1902-1905), Rear Admiral James H. Sands (1905-1907) and Captain Charles J. Badger (1907-1909). The administrations of these superintendents coincided with the greatest architectural expansion of the yard buildings and grounds ever in the Academy's history. The eminent New York architect, Ernest Flagg designed and implemented the master plan, overseeing construction in the French Renaissance style the buildings which make up the Academy today: Bancroft, Macdonough, Dahlgren, Mahan, Maury, Sampson, and Isherwood Halls, the Chapel, and the Superintendent's Residence, among other quarters and buildings. Construction commenced in March 1899 with a congressional appropriation of $1,000,000, and continued throughout the opening decade of the first century. By 1902 the Academy grew to over 125 acres. The expansion not only renewed and expanded the physical plant but more than tripled the size of the classes graduating after 1904.
