History of the Office of the Superintendent
The plan of the Naval School at Fort Severn, Annapolis, Maryland, approved by the Navy Department August 28, 1846, provided that a Superintendent of the school be appointed by the Secretary of the Navy from a list of officers of a rank not higher than commander. The Superintendent was to have responsibility for the general management of the institution, including overseeing the course of study, professors, and other personnel connected with the Academy. He could appoint and remove all persons employed at the Academy except those for whose appointment or discharge special provision was made by the laws or regulations of the Navy or the Academy. He had general charge of the buildings, grounds, and ships belonging to the Academy. The Superintendent also formulated the code of rules and regulations for the internal government of the school to be submitted to the Secretary of the Navy for approval. After 1867, officers were assigned by the Navy Department to the Academy to serve as assistants or aides to the Superintendent. The Office of the Superintendent as described in the 1846 plan remained relatively unchanged throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Officers of ranks higher than commander, however, have served in the position.

Description of Contents
This series contains subject indices for Entry 39. On February 13, 1922, a new filing system was initiated for the Academy that divided all correspondence into five series: personnel, candidate, midshipmen, subjective, and contract. Only two series were maintained in the Superintendent's files: subjective and contract; and only the subjective series is indexed in this entry. It is primarily concerned with the overall administration of the Academy, as well as the Academy's relations with other academic institutions, businesses, newspapers, magazines, professional and learned societies, and private individuals.
In order to identify the correspondence relating to the various departments and branches of the Academy, each department and branch, along with the Superintendent's office, was assigned a principal number (e.g. 26) and jacket number (e.g. 2-1). Together these numbers make up the subject file number (e.g. 26-2-1). These numbers also appear on each item of referenced correspondence in Entry 39. In addition, a separate communication number was given to each item of correspondence coming into the Superintendent's office, and the same number usually appeared on the copy of the letter sent in reply. Communication numbers were assigned seriatim for each calendar year. Even after the adoption of the Navy Filing Manual system at the Academy, this system of local reference numbers was continued.
Each card contains the name/subject title, a brief synopsis of each referenced document, as well as each document's communication number, date, and subject file number.
