Mahan's writings, published as The Influence of Seapower Upon History,, gained him worldwide acclaim and established the Naval War College as an internationally respected institution. Mahan's views profoundly affected such leaders as Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt and through them and others helped shape the United States' destiny at the turn of the century. Of all the men who were to influence the institution in its early years, none was to have such a profound impact. Luce was the first president and organized the War College as "a place of original research on all questions relating to war and the statesmanship connected with war, or the prevention of war." These foundations were built upon by Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, second president of the college, who had originally been selected by Luce to initiate the course in Naval History.
Naval War College Founded in Newport, Rhode Island on October 6, 1884, the Naval War College is the oldest war college in the nation, and the first military service institution in the world to be designated a war college.
