History

Bancroft Hall is where all 4,600 young men and women attending the Academy live and eat their meals, making it the largest dormitory in the nation.  The bell to the left of the front entrance, known as the Gokokuji Bell, is a reproduction of the bell that Commodore Perry brought back from his expedition to Japan in 1854.  It is rung only when Navy beats Army in the annual Army vs Navy football game.  The bell on the right is from the famous warship USS Enterprise and is run when Navy defeats Army in a majority of the season's sports.
