IHUS, the Literature of the Sea has enabled the mariner to share his wonderful stories and proud tradition with the entire world. These many writings have themselves become an integral part of the tradition of the sea. Many a seafarer has been enticed into his ancient profession by the siren call of the sea ' s literature. Many a cadet chose his future career as a ship ' s officer when he was but a lad completely captivated by one of those many alluring and adventur- ous novels of the sea. Having had a taste of the tradition of the sea, the young cadet enters his new life with a desire to become a living, vital part of that tradition. However, only by sailing, living, and struggling over the sea time and time again does man develop the techniques of her mastery. In recognition of this reality, the United States Merchant Marine Academy introduces cadets to the sea — to her glories, her habits, and her perils. Through intensive study in his classrooms and aboard ship during his third class year, the cadet learns the necessary talents to cope with the sea ' s every peculiarity and gains that practical knowledge so vital to his profession. Yet, the Academy is more than a vehicle for the education of the finest ships ' offi- cers in the world. It is the symbol and spirit of young America. It is the manifestation of adventure and the love of far away places. It is the teacher of the loyalty and honor and pride that has made the United States the greatest sea power in the world. It has become part of the graduate. No matter where the fortunes of fate lead him, in his heart he will carry forever pride in the Academy and its teachings.
