- The U.S. Naval Postgraduate School is
located on the grounds of the old Hotel Del Monte within the
city of Monterey. The elegant old hotel opened in 1880 and in
1942 was leased to the Navy with an option to buy. The Navy used
it as a pre-flight training school for Naval air cadets throughout
the war. A curriculum of marine engineering was also added during
the war. After the war the Navy bought the hotel and its 600
acres of land and enlarged the school. In 1951 the Naval Academy's
postgraduate school moved here from Annapolis, MD. In the postwar
years the school ranked academically with the best graduate universities
in the country. Some 80% of the Navy's postgraduate students
attended the school.
