Naval Academy’s 1968 grads fund restoration of Chapel doors donated by 1868 class

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The doors are 22 feet tall and about 8 feet wide. One bears life-like etchings of personified science contemplating tools of war. On another, a mother teaches her son how to fight.
A gift from the Class of 1868, the Naval Academy Chapel doors are bronze-cast monoliths, towering above midshipmen, newlyweds and tourists who pass through.
For its 50-year anniversary, the Class of 1968 funded restoration of the doors, linking their legacy to the midshipmen who graduated a century before them.
