27 April 1979
MEMO FOR RECORD
Admiral Stockdale called me this morning. He asked that Colonel
Uicholson, myself, and others provide suggestions as to matters concerning the history, traditions, the academic goals, the disciplined
environment, and any in depth matters which he might include in his
commencement address. He is looking for significant matters of interest
to the people of The Citadel including the alumni, the guests, the
graduating class and the corps. He asked that we provide him with
any books or documents which might also provide him with a feel for
this institution, the local area, the state and our contributions to
society.
He stated that an Associated Press wire service story prepared
prior to the announcement of his new position but updated since the
announcement would be in the papers this c ing Sunday or Monday.
He has a gentleman's agreement with ~·o to give six months
notice but this may be shaded to the extent he can be relieved at
Newport on 22 August (convocation day) and arrive at The Citadel on
or about 1 September. During the intervening time he will have to
appear before disability boards and t1 plans to fulfill a connnitment to attend a high level management institute at Aspen, Colorado
during August on a grant from a foundation.
He discussed with me his intention to teach an elective course
in ethics and morality perhaps somewhat similar to what he has been
teaching at the Navy War College. I indicated that this had been
previously indicated by the Chairman of the Board and that the faculty
and staff here were excited about the prospect of his doing that. He
asked if The Citadel could support some outside assistance in this
area to include visiting or adjunct professors. I indicated that we
do have sources of available funds for guest lecturers and seminars
and that I was sure that The Citadel could support him in doing what
was needed.
I asked him about his honorary degree from The Citadel and we
discussed doctor of laws, doctor of humanities and doctor of military
science. He indicated his preference for doctor of laws.

�2 ·
Re asked as to the uniform in which he should appear for
commencement, e.g .• full dress with medals and sword, full dress
with medals without sword, etc. I told him that for the past four
years our graduation speaker had worn academic regalia but that I
would discuss the matter with General Anderson. I got the impression
that the Admiral would like to appear in full dress uniform with
medals including the Medal of Honor but without sword> but will
bow to the desires of the colle@e.
I informed him that we will have billets for him and Mrs.
Stockdale in Mark Clark Hall at commencement time. He has a
speaking engagement the evening of ll May and will have to see
if air schedules will pern~t him to carry through with that and
still arrive 1n time for our com:rnencement. If not he will cancel
the other engagement. I offered him the opportunity to use charter
air - he said he'd consider it.

CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR WINNER
NAMED TO CITADEL PRESIDENCY
CHARLESTON, S.C., April 25.--Col. William F. Prioleau
Jr., chairman of The Citadel Board of Visitors, today
announced that Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale, U.S.
Navy, has been named president of the military college by
unanimous vote of the Board.
Admiral Stockdale will
immediately request retirement from the Navy, and shortly
after ending his active duty career will succeed Maj. Gen.
Wallace E. Anderson.
General Anderson became acting president when Lt. Gen.
George M. Seignious II, U.S. Army, retired, began a leave
of absence on December 4, 1978.
When General Seignious
was confirmed on March 1, 197~ by the U.S. Senate as director
of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, General
Anderson's title changed to interim president.
General
Seignious had been president since August 1, 1974.
The 55-year old admiral, now president of the Navy
War College in Newport, R.I., graduated from the United
States Naval Academy in 1946.
Prior to entering the
Naval Academy he studied .at Monmouth College from which
he received the Distinguished Alunmus Award at the 1977
comnencement.
He was awarded the Master of Arts degree
by Stanford University in 1962.
(more)
�Citadel President
1 add
A nationally-known writer and lecturer, his material
has been widely published, and he has been the subject of
complimentary national media articles and editorials.
Many
of his public addresses and articles have been entered
into the Congressional Record.
During the twenty years following his graduation from
the Naval Academy, he served successively as a destroyerman,
carrier aviator, landing signal officer, test pilot, test
pilot school instructor, fighter pilot, graduate student,
aircraft squadron commander, and air wing commander.
Admiral Stockdale had more flight time in the
supersonic F-8 single seat fighter than any man in the
world when he led the initial strikes from a carrier
deck in the Tonkin Gulf against North Vietnam in 1964.
Shot down and captured over a year later during his second
combat tour in Vietnam, he spent most of his 7½ years of
imprisonment in solitary confinement.
Despite repeated
torture and years of restraint in leg irons and handcuffs,
he maintained contact with his fellow Americans by
clandestine means, setting standards and policy for the
prisoners' organization and united resistance.
Upon his release in 1973, he was promoted to rear
admiral and assigned as the commander of the Anti-Submarine
Warfare Wing of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. ,
A Congressional Medal of Honor winner, he is the most
highly-decorated officer in the Navy, wearing 25 pers_ nal
o
combat decorations including two Distinguished Flying Crosses
ten Air Medals, the Legion of Merit, two Distinguished Service'
Medals, four Silver Stars, and two Purple Hearts.
(more)
�Citadel President
2 add
Admiral Stockdale came to the presidency of the
Naval War College in 1977 with immediate past experience
as the director of the Strategy, Plans and Policy Division
of the Chief of Naval Operations.
Admiral Stockdale designed and teaches at the
Naval War College a course "Foup.dations of Moral Obligation"
to counter what he terms "the deadening of moral
sensitivities."
His ph~losophy filled the entire
Education section of a recent issue of TIME Magazine.
The Admiral plans to teach a similar course at The Citadel.
He is president of his Naval Academy class, a Naval
Academy Foundation Trustee, and a member of Sons of the
American Revolution, Ends of the Earth Society, American
Academy of Achievement, MENSA (international society to
conduct research on people of high intelligence), and
the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.
Admiral Stockdale lives in Newport, R.I., with
his wife Sybil, who is a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College
and recipient of the M.A. degree from Stanford.
They
have four sons: James, a teaching assistant and graduate
student at Auburn University; Sidney, a high school
teacher and football coach in Colorado; Stanford, a
member of the sixth fonn of the Portsmouth Abbey School
in Rhode Island; and Taylor, a member of the fourth form
of the South Kent School in Connecticut.

THE CITADEL COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
12 MAY 1979
JAMES BOND STOCKDALE
VICE ADMIRAL, U.S. NAVY
It is with pride that I address you Citadel men -- and
with pride that I contemplate joining The Citadel family as
your President in a few months.
I know what has gone on here
for 137 years. Every Board of Visitors since 1842 has aimed
the curriculum at preparing gentlemen for honorable citizenship in the finest sense of the term. A 17th century John
Milton quotation describes The Citadel's aim -- to provide
"a complete and generous education: that which fits a man
to perform justly, skillfully and magnanimously, all the
offices of a citizen, both private and public, in peace or
war." Moreover, I know how academic excellence, order, selfrespect and rigor have been maintained through national conflicts and crises, through vacillations of popular moods,
and how more than once the line of self-discipline has been
held against a sea of permissiveness beyond these gates.
I
·,;ant to assure you graduates, you undergraduates, you alumni
and friends, that I aspire to ·follow in the footsteps of
Coward, Bond, Summerall and Clark, and those before and subsequent, maintaining the educational and moral philosophy
that has kept this school at the top -- the finest, toughest
all-male military college in America.
This past week I've been doing my evening reading in
Colonel Oliver James Bond's story of The Citadel written nearly
50 years ago.
(As most of you know, this hall behind me was
named for him. He was Class of '86, a faculty member for
22 years, then Superintendent for 23 years and after that,
Dean.)
I was fascinated by much in the book, including the
James Bond part of his name, because, of course, that is part
of my name. My genealogy study is not complete but I am
reasonably sure after reading about his ancestry in the book
History of South Carolina, and studying entries in my Bond
family bible (my mother's family name) that my great grandfather
Walter Bond and Oliver's grandfather Henry Bond were cousins
who emigrated from the family settlement in Maryland about
1810. Henry came to South Carolina, we know that from the
history. Walter went west and became a farmer.
I know that
because I own the farm he first carved out of the prairie. ·so
as I contemplate sitting at my desk inside Bond Hall, I feel
at home here at The Citadel already.
I also feel very much at home in your company for other
reasons.
You seniors have been through an intense experience
...
�with men, with classmates, you'll never forget.
You've studied
together, fought together and against one another, laughed
together, if you were like me in some of my intense experiences,
even cried together. You leave this place with more than
a diploma. You leave it with what some would call emotional
baggage, but what I call a highly ueveloped conscience.
It's
almost impossible to graduate from an institution like this
without it~ You've undergone an .irreversible process which
will never again allow you the comfort of self-satisfaction
while being glib or shallow. You will likely forever carry
the burdens, and they are burdens, of loyalty, commitment,
passion and idealism.
You have undergone an education of the
sort people refer to when they say that education is what's
left over after you've forgotten all the facts you learned.
And that which is left over, that conscience, that sentiment,
is indispensable to that capability for which the graduates of
this institution are known. And that capability is leadership.
Cool, glib, cerebral, detached guys can get by in positions
of authority until the pressure is on; But when the crunch
develops, whetner in the courtroom, at the negotiating table,
in the operating room, or on the battlefield, people cling
to those they know they can trust -- those who are not detached,
but involved -- those who have consciences, those who can repent, those who do not dodge unpleasantness, yes, those who
can mete out just punishment and look their charges in the
eye as they do it. When the chips are down, the man with
the heart, not the soft heart, not the bleeding heart -- but the Old
Testament heart -- the hard heart -- comes into his own, and
that's what education in a structured, disciplined environment
is all about.
But don't forget, Class of '79 on your graduation day,
some of what is structured for you here in the corps of cadets
will have to be improvised on a "do it yourself" basis in
the new decision making territory which lies ahead. The Citadel
has given you a basic survival kit that will allow you to
thrive, but don't be surprised when you find that leadership
entails more than professional competence. Leadership under
pressure will often entail being a moralist, jurist, teacher,
steward and philosopher.
First the moralist.
I define the moralist as not one
who mindlessly exhorts men to be good, but one who elucidates
what the good is.
(Under the press of circumstance this
sometimes becomes unclear -- as in a prison camp, for instance.)
The disciplined life here at The Citadel has encouraged you
to be men of integrity committed to a code of conduct and from
these good habits a strength of character and resolve have
2
�grown. This is the solid foundation from which you elucidate the good, by your example, your actions and your proud
tradition. A moralist can make conscious what lies unconscious
among his followers, lifting them out of their everyday selves,
into their better selves. The German poet Goethe once said
that you limit a man's potential by appealing to what he is:
rather you must appeal to what he might be. All great men
in history have relied on some measure of ethical resolution
in their lives and it's been perfected in their work and
heritage. The Citadel's great men are no exception.
Next, there are times when you'll act as a jurist, when
the decisions you make will be based solely on your ideas
of right and wrong, your knowledge of the people who will be
affected, and your strength of conviction. There won't be
a textbook or school solution to rely on. - I'm not talking
about petty legalistic arbitrations or controls, but about
hard decisions where you'll be the one with a problem that has
seemingly endless complications -- when you'll have to think
it through on your own. As a jurist, you're writing law and
that's a weighty responsibility. When in the hot seat, you'll
need the courage to withstand the inclination to duck a problem
or hand it off: you've got to take it head on.
One word of caution: many of your laws will be unpopular.
•rha t' s OK. But they should never be unjust. Moreover, you
must never cross that fatal line of writing a law that can't
be obeyed.
(This is a great temptation under pressure -- in
prison camp we called them "CYA" directives.)
Your job as
a jurist is to guide others, not to put them in a "Catch-22"
position where they are forced to choose between conflicting
alternatives.
You must be positive and clear and not lapse
into ;\ bureaucratic welter of relativism th.-:1t will have others
;1skinq wh.1t you 1~0ally me,,n or . tryinq to rc~pond in thC' most
politically a8ccptable way.
You elucidate the good as a moralist.
You write the laws as a jurist.
Number three is being a teacher. EvGry great leader I've
known has been a great teacher, able to give those around him
a sense of perspective and to set the moral, social and
particularly the motivational climate among them. This is
not an easy task -- it takes wisdom and discipline -- you must
have the sensitivity to perceive philosophic disarray in your
charges and to put things in order. The best starting place
for any teacher is to "know yourself", as I think you seniors
µ1~obably do.
3
,.
�Here at The Citadel you've followed in the footsteps of
greatness.
I challenge you to leave those same clear footprints for future generations to follow.
In John Ruskin's
words such a process is "painful, continual, and difficult ...
to be done by kindness, by waiting, by warning, by precept,
by praise but above all by example." Teachership is indispensable to leadership.
Another test of leadership is that you must be willing
to be a steward. By that I mean you must tend the flock,
even "wash their feet," as well as crack the whip; you have
to be compassionate and realize that all men are not products
of the same mold.
(They are not all Citadel men out there.)
There is much more to stewardship than the carrot and stick
enticements that some of the vaunted motivational experts
would prescribe. It requires knowledge and character and
heart to boost others to a tall ship and give them a star to
steer her by. The old Civil War historian Douglas Southall
Freeman described his formula for stewardship at my Naval
War College thirty years ago this month. He· said that you
had to know your stuff, to be a man and take care of your
men. There are flocks outside these grounds that will require
your attention and test your stewardship.
The final test is that you must be able to act as
philosophers in order to explain and understand the lack of
a moral economy in the universe, for many people have a great
deal of difficulty with the fact that virtue is not always
rewarded and evil punished. To handle tragedy may indeed be
the mark of an educated man; for one of the principal goals
of education is to prepare us for failure.
Stoic philosophy
is a crutch.
In Hanoi's prisons when military virtue seemed
at the point of irrelevance I wa~ comforted and strengthened
by remembering Epictetus' admonition: · "You are but an actor
in a drama of such sort as the author chooses -- if short,
then a short one; if long, then a long one.
If it be his
pleasure that you should enact a poor man, see that you act
it well; or a cripple, or a ruler, or a private citizen.
For this is your business -- to act well the given part; but
to choose it belongs to another." My part in that case was
of course that of a soldier, but the author will have parts
for you to play in every profession.
A still better inspiration in times of hopelessness is
often history. The Citadel history of 1864-1865 gives the
ultimate example of performance of duty with poise and dedication in the face of dismal prospects. The test of character
is not "hanging in" when you expect light at the end of the
tunnel, but performance of d1_ ty and persistence of example
1
when you know no light is coming. Believe me, I've been there
myself.
4
�..
Most of us rely on faith when all else fails.
Perhaps
we can all benefit from a little-known relic, a poem left
on a Virginia battlefield in 1865. A soldier had written:
I asked for strength that I miqht achieve
God made me weak that I might obey
I asked for health that I might do greater things
He gave me infirmity that I might do better things
I asked for riches that I might be happy
I was given poverty that I might be wise
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness that I might feel the need for God
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life
I was given life that I might enjoy all things
I received nothing that I asked for
All that I hoped for
And my prayer was answered.
I am most blessed.
Men of The Citadel, Class of 1979, may you all be blessed.

THE M IUTARY COLLEG E OF SOU TH CAR OLINA
CHARLESTON , S.C. 29 409
· VI CE PRESIDENT
FDR DEVE LOPME NT
July 30, 1979
(803) 792 · 7&75
RECOMMENDED APPROACH TO ADMIRAL
STOCKDALE' S INITIAL SPEAKING APPEARAl~CES
IN THE CHARLESTON AREA
Insofar as possible, the Adrrdral should restrict his off-campus
public appearances until 11 October 1979. On that date his address
to the Red Carpet Breakfast will be promoted as his public presentation to the community.
In view of the demand for him to speak to civic clubs and other
groups and the public relations value of his getting to these groups
early in his tenure, the civic club meetings normally held on campus
in the spring should be scheduled in the fall as soon as possible
after 11 October. This rationale is based on the fact that the same
talk can be given to all the civic clubs with no overlap as long as
that talk differs from the Red Carpet address. Further, it is much
less debilitating for the president to go across campus and address
a club than to be soireed into town, into strange buildings, and then
back to the office. This approach will permit the president to reach
the maximum number of civic-minded Charlestonians with minimum effort
on his part.
During the fall, out-of-town appearances should·be minimized, especially
in the case of civic clubs. The demands of the football season, the
president getting read into his position, and the local speech routine
suggest that out-of-town appearFnces should be only those he cannot
gracefully escape because of extreme pressure from important alumni,
valued friends, the governor, etc.
After the first of the year, he can with more validity speak direc:tly
about The Citadel job from a perspective that will be easily varied
from his fall talks to civic clubs.
I believe the foregoing will gain optimum public relation• effect from
civic club appearance•, preaentation1 to the coll'.llllU!lity, and related
appearances. It ahould minimize the demanda on the preeident while
gaining the foregoing advantage .
