He entered the United States Naval Academy as a midshipman in 1879 from which he was graduated in 1883 and after spending two years at sea in the North Atlantic Squadron he received the post‐860‐1943 graduate diploma and returned to civil life. In 1888 the Columbian (now George Washington) University awarded him the degree of Civil Engineering which he had earned in the course of studies there. In the summer of 1885 he joined the staff of the United States Hydrographic Office with which he was continuously associated until his retirement in 1932. He was professor of nautical science in George Washington University during 1913‐1927.

DEVELOPMENT AND PREVENTION OF MYOPIA AT THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY

The visual standards for the line of the Navy, the branch which handles the naval vessels of the United States, have always been based on the fact that it is essential for navigational, watch and gunnery officers to have normal vision and not to have to wear glasses, which may become fogged in bad weather or may even be broken or lost, with consequent serious impairment of vision. For many years the high incidence of myopia which apparently developed among midshipmen after admission to the United States Naval Academy with supposedly normal vision was a cause of serious concern to all those interested. For years every effort was made to save such men to the service by giving them extended complete rest of their eyes before reexamination of their vision, and by retaining many of them in the Naval Academy for one to three years in the hope that their

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF UNITED STATES NAVAL ENGINEERING HISTORY

On November 3, 1937, the American Newcomen Society made its annual pilgrimage to Annapolis, Maryland, to visit a historic old town where every street and building remind us of their presence long ago at the birth‐throes of a nation.The Newcomen Society of Great Britain has for many years dedicated itself to the study of engineering history in England, and its off‐shoot in this country carries on the tradition here. On both sides of the Atlantic, the rosters of membership include a most distinguished and representative group of business and professional men whose hobby it is to trace down the obscure trails of engineering development in every line.The objective of the Society's pilgrimage this year was primarily a Naval study so that the visit was made to see the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. During the visit, the Chief Engineer of the Navy, Admiral Bowen, delivered the principal address, discussing Naval engineering development over the last one hundred years. The subject matter is of so much interest to every member of the Society of Naval Engineers, and so provocative to all students of naval and marine engineering history, that it has been printed here in full with the kind permission of the Newcomen Society, and of the author—the prospective next President of this Society.
