In 1912, the School was des-ignated the Postgraduate Department of the Naval Academy, and the scope of its engineering curricula was broadened to include Ordnance, Naval Con-struction and Civil Engineering. After a suspension of operations during World War I, the Postgraduate Department resumed operations in 1919; two years later it was officially des-ignated the "Naval Postgraduate School." A further extension of its curricula and the growth of its enrollment took place in the years between the two World Wars. In 1927, the General Line Course was started within the Postgraduate School to acquaint junior line officers with modern developments taking place in the Navy and to broaden their professional knowledge by means of inte-grated courses in naval science. World War II caused an increase in enrollment in the Engineering curricula from about 125 to over 600 and a tremendous expansion of activity in con-trast to the complete suspension of operations during World War I. After hostilities ceased in 1945, a program was initiated to relocate the Postgrad-uate School and improve its professional status. Between 1945 and 1948, legislation was passed establishing the School as a separate activity under its own Superintendent; creating the office of Academic Dean; granting the Super-intendent the right to award Bachelor's, Master's and Doctor's degrees; author-izing the re-establishment at Monterey, California, and purchasing the Del Monte site. The move to Monterey was conmmenced in 1948 and completed in 1951. In 1956, the Navy Management School was established as a component of the Postgraduate School. Its mission was to provide graduate education for Naval officers in the theories, philosophies and application of scientific methods of management specifically oriented to the Navy in order to advance efficiency and economy of operation afloat and ashore. In August 1960, the Management School curriculum was lengthened from a five to a ten-month course leading to a Master's degree for those who could meet the requirements for such a degree. In 1958, the General Line School was redesignated as the General Line and Naval Science School and a Bachelor of Science curriculum was offered to meet the educational and career requirements of selected officers who did not have baccalaureate degrees. Further developments in the undergraduate program resulted in recognition of the need for a Bachelor of Arts curriculum, which was subsequently inaugurated in the General Line and Naval Science School in August 1961. A major internal reorganization was approved by the Chief of Naval Personnel and became effective on 3 August 1962. The three component schools were consolidated into a single unified Postgraduote School, with aca-demic operations under the direction of a Director of Programs (military) and a Dean of Programs (civilian). The reorganization in no way changed the curricula offered, but achieved unity of policy and gave emphasis to the edu-cational programs required for the Navy. o.co.bem1c bRess The cap and gown and colorful hood so prominent in commencement ceremonies re-semble to some extent articles of dress worn by church and university dignitaries in the Middle Ages. The cap and gown indicate that the wearer is a member of a university or college. The hood shows the degree the wearer holds. The gown for the bachelor's degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed. The master's gown has closed sleeves, square at the end, the arms coming through a slit at the elbow; it may be worn open or closed. The doctor's gown has bell-shaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. Down the front the doctor's gown has a facing of velvet and three bars of the same material on each sleeve. The facing and bars may be either black or the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. The cap is worn for all degrees; the doctor may wear a golden tassel. Hoods are normally black with a colorful lining rolled outward. Bachelor's hoods are three feet long, master's three and one half feet, and doctor's four feet. For all academic purposes, including trimmings for the doctor's gown, edgings of hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows: Agriculture . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
