Welcome to the United States Naval War College Graduation Ceremony 20 June 2008 Newport, Rhode Island
HISTORY OF THE U.S. NAVAL WAR COLLEGE Founded in Newport, Rhode Island on October 6, 1884, the Naval War College is the oldest war college in the nation, and the first military service institution in the world to be designated a war college. Commodore Stephen B. Luce was the first president and organized the War College as "a place of original research on all questions relating to war and the statesmanship connected wi th war, or the prevention of war." These foundations were built upon by Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, second president of the College, who had originally been selected by Luce to initiate the course in Naval History. Of all the men who were to influence the institution in its early years, none was to have a more profound impact. Mahan's views deeply affected such leaders as Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt and through them and others helped shape the United States' destiny at the turn of the century. Mahan's writings, published as The Illfluellce of Sel1pOlI'cr Upon HistOlY, 1660- 1783, gained him worldwide acclaim and established the Naval War College as an internationally respected institution. Functioning continuously since 1884, except for brief periods during the Spanish-American War and World War 1, the War College numbers among its graduates such distinguished naval officers as Admirals Sims, Spruance, King, Nimitz, and Halsey, in addition to many others who today are holding prominent military positions. The work begun more than one hundred years ago by Luce and Mahan continues today. As graduates we ll know, the curriculum is both demanding and rewarding. For the military professional, the unique education provided by the Nava l War College is unrivaled. In recognition of the academic rigor and ed ucational exce llence of its program, th e Naval War College was accredited in 1991 by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges to award a Master of Arts Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies.
