The Department of Naval Science was established in 1940 as the Department of Naval Science and Tactics. It operated in conjunction with a unit of the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps and was a direct result of the university's decision to aid the war effort by offering military training. Its name was changed to Department of Naval Science in 1945, and after the war it became a permanent part of the curriculum. Since 1972 the department's course offerings have been coordinated through the Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense. Records include correspondence and reports, as well as articles and clippings related to the Department of Naval Science and to the Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. Included is material relating to military training during World War II and later, to the establishment of the department as a permanent part of the curriculum, and to the restructuring of the department after the creation of the Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense as a result of student protests during the Vietnam War.
