He then proceeds to describe a disagreement between his class and the Academy superintendent over hazing. Since Nimitz does not refer to the superintendent by name, but by rank (captain), it is presumed he is referring to Captain Willard Brownson, which would likely date this letter in late 1902 or early 1903.
