520 3 a| The United States Navy, under the watchful eye of the Secretary of the Navy, adopted a new program for the development of officers in 1915. Naval leadership, in the fleet and at the United States Naval Academy, resisted the efforts of the new Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels. Daniels, born in Washington, North Carolina, slipped a rider into the 1915 Naval Appropriations Act that allowed enlisted men to enter the Naval Academy after passing the Academy's academic and physical fitness entrance exams. Before the appropriations rider, the only way to gain entrance to the Academy was to seek appointment by the President of the United States, or by an United States Congressmen. Usually, the appointments went to the sons of powerful political friends. Those without political influence had little or no opportunity to attend the Academy. Josephus Daniels, a liberal populist, changed that by expanding admission and diversity at the Academy. He felt it necessary to bring fresh blood into the Academy and to expand education among the ranks of the enlisted. It will be the purpose of this thesis to examine the process of implementation of this new program. The implications of this program are far-reaching. It would be these graduates and those who graduated in the ensuing fifteen years who would lead the United States Navy into and during World War II. This thesis will, therefore, discuss and analyze the implementation of a new program, designed by Josephus Daniels, with the purpose of expanding education and opportunity among the enlisted men of the U. S. Navy.;

Summary	The United States Navy, under the watchful eye of the Secretary of the Navy, adopted a new program for the development of officers in 1915. Naval leadership, in the fleet and at the United States Naval Academy, resisted the efforts of the new Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels. Daniels, born in Washington, North Carolina, slipped a rider into the 1915 Naval Appropriations Act that allowed enlisted men to enter the Naval Academy after passing the Academy's academic and physical fitness entrance exams. Before the appropriations rider, the only way to gain entrance to the Academy was to seek appointment by the President of the United States, or by an United States Congressmen. Usually, the appointments went to the sons of powerful political friends. Those without political influence had little or no opportunity to attend the Academy. Josephus Daniels, a liberal populist, changed that by expanding admission and diversity at the Academy. He felt it necessary to bring fresh blood into the Academy and to expand education among the ranks of the enlisted. It will be the purpose of this thesis to examine the process of implementation of this new program. The implications of this program are far-reaching.

This thesis will, therefore, discuss and analyze the implementation of a new program, designed by Josephus Daniels, with the purpose of expanding education and opportunity among the enlisted men of the U.
