As we complete our Centennial year celebrations, I want to call attention to a part of our campus that has been quietly emerging as a major contributor to the Naval War College mission-the Center for Continuing Education, or, as we call it, CCE. \u27\u2

One of the exciting aspects of this centennial year for me has been the publication of the Centennial History of the Naval War College . In reading the history, I was particularly intrigued by the international influence that has persisted throughout the hi story of the War College. This influence was for ma li zed in 1956 with the establishment of the Naval Command College (NCC). As you may know, this senior level college was the inspiration of Admiral Arleigh Burke. His vision extended to human terms when he said, When a man reaches the end of his active career in the service, he finds that the greatest asset that he takes with him for a lifetime of work in his service, is his friends. Men whom he knows, respects, admires-and above all-men he can trust. And that 1s the genesis of the Naval Command College, which since its creation has graduated eight hundred twenty-nine senior officers from 63 countries

In the last issue of the Review I commented on the pace of activity since my arrival at the college last October. The months of May and June, while particularly hectic, were also particularly rewarding

This year the Naval War College is 100 years old. It is appropriate to reflect on the role and effect of the college as we begin our second century of service to the Navy-where it has been, where it is today and where it is headed. In the hundred years since its founding, the perceived relevance of the War College to current maritime problems and thought has varied considerably, but one theme has been constant

In November Admiral James D. Watkins hosted the Seventh International Seapower Symposium (ISS) at the Naval War College. This biannual event was attended by naval leaders from 49 nations and included 22 CNOs or Chiefs of Naval Staff, and 51 other officers specifically designated by the Chiefs of Navy

Someone asked me recently if I missed the Battle Force job in the Mediterranean. The truthful answer is that the pace and the exciteÂment in Newport haven\u27t given me much opportunity to dwell on what I might be missing elsewhere. The Naval War College is the center of important new Navy initiatives and there is a lot going on

A great source of the strength of the Naval War College (NWC) program is in its faculty. It is an unusual faculty in several ways. First, because it teaches both levels of advanced professional military education-the College of Naval Warfare and the College of Naval Command and Staff-colocated in Newport as component units of the Naval War College. That enables us to use our faculty in a most efficient manner, because of the economics of using them twice rather than only once at the senior level. Second, because it contains a heavy inter-service emphasis. Of 52 military faculty, 34 are Navy, 6 are Army, 5 are Air Force, 6 are Marine Corps and 1 is Coast Guard

This past summer in Newport was certainly not typical of the summers experienced in most other graduate institutions. Immediately after our June class graduated, we commenced Global War Game \u2783. It was the fifth game in a series and it attracted a good deal of interest
