Up To 36 Months to Pay I jag Bryan at 25th Phone TA 822-1541 For Sea Careers The Texas Maritime Academy was established Feb. 24, 1962 by the Board of Directors of the Texas A&M University System, by authority of Acts of the 56th Legislature, Regular Session 1959. The 57th Legislature of 1961, appropriated funds for starting operations and for the develop ment of the Texas Maritime Academy campus at Galveston. An agreement between the Gover nor of the State of Texas and the Maritime Administrator, Depart ment of Commerce, has been ex ecuted. This agreement, pursuant to the federal Maritime Academy Act of 1958, commits the federal government to provide a suitable training ship, $75,000 annual funds matching state appropria- toins, adequate funds for the annual overhaul of the training ship, and a subsistence grant of $50 per month to each student. The state on its own part agrees to provide adequate facili ties and faculty necessary to con duct a course of training for future officers of the United States Merchant Marine. The Texas Maritime Academy offers young men the oppor tunity to continue formal educa tion and, at the same time, to prepare to become licensed ship’s officers in the Merchant Marine. Upon completion of the first semester, the cadet selects one of two areas of specialization: Ma rine Engineering or Marine Transportation. Thereafter he’s known as an Engineer Cadet or as a Deck Cadet. Upon successful completion of the course of study, three ocean training cruises, and upon pass ing the United States Coast Guard license examination for a Third Mate or Third Assistant Engineer, a graduate receives a Bachelor of Science Degree in Marine Transportation or in Ma rine Engineering. Upon graduation the cadet who has the required qualifications may apply for a commission as Ensign, United States Naval Re serve. The first school year consists of nine months and the remaining three school years consist of 11 months of instruction and train ing. The year is divided into two academic semesters and one ocean training cruise. Each sea training period is a required, staff supervised, educational term in tended to insure necessary opera tional training periods and exper ience for all cadets. During the three required op erational training periods com pleted, the cadet progresses from the apprentice stage through the artificer level to the junior officer category. In addition to practical experience in ship operations, safety at sea is continuously em phasized and boat drills are con ducted in preparation for the “lifeboatmen” examination. The operational training period includes visits to four to six for eign ports. Different ports are selected each year to provide ca dets with a wide range of experi ence. Ample liberty time is pro vided in each port, affording cadets the opportunity to visit places of cultural and historic as well as maritime importance. The Maritime Academy campus is located in Galveston, and forms part of the A&M Marine Labora tory in spacious grounds of the former Fort Crocket on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The Academy building, a three story, concrete structure, provides messing and living spaces as well as classrooms and administrative offices. These accommodations are very modern and all spaces are air-conditioned. Galveston’s concrete piers and warehouses provide berthing ac commodations for 40 modern ships. A large shipyard is nearby. These shipyard facilities will help serve as a laboratory for the students. In addition, NS Savan nah, the first atomic powered merchant ship in the world, is to be regularly serviced in Galves ton. Galveston promises to be come an important center for commercial nuclear propulsion. During their freshman year, Cadets participate in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M. While on the A&M campus the cadets will wear the Corps uniform, with a special designed Maritime Aca demy patch on the shoulder. Starting with their first train ing cruise, the cadets will turn in the Corps of Cadet uniforms and will shift to midshipman type uni forms of dress blues, whites, and khaki. The primary aim of the Aca demy is to prepare young men for leadership at sea, eventually as master and chief engineers.
