Moorman, the academy’s fifth superintendent and its longest-serving head, took over in 1965 after the scandal resulted in the dismissal of several students. He challenged cadets to reestablish pride, respect and morale, a move that restored stability to the ranks, said Gen. A.P. Clark, the academy’s superintendent from 1970 to 1974. Moorman’s final year as superintendent was 1970, when he retired from the Air Force. In Sterling, Va., on Tuesday.
