In connection with the coming of
Secretary Daniels and his keen inter-
est in the naval training work at Yale
University, it is interesting to recall
that William Chauvenet, of the Glass
of 1S4O-incidentally the great grand
father Of William Chauvenet, Of the
Glass of 1918, who Is a second lieu
tenant in the U. s. Field Artillery
and now in France-1took the leading
part in the founding and developing
of the Naval Academy at Annapolis
William Chauvenet was born on
May "a, 1920, and died on December
10, 1870. having acquired wide
reputation during his life as a mathe-
matician and the author of standard
mathematical text books.
In 1S41 he accepted the position
Of instructor Of mathematics at the
L. S. Naval Asylum in Philadelphia,
where a course of eight months
training for midshipmen had been In
stituted two years before. Here un-
der the leadership of William Chau-
venet, the foundations of modern
naval education were securely laid.
He testified that when he took
charge the institutions equipment
consisted chiefly of "one worn-out
circle Of reflection, and a small black
board, not even fastened to the wall
but rested on the floor of the dark
haseme nt room in which informal and
irregular recitations were held"
Through his aggressive but tactful
dealing with the secretary of the
navy and certain naval officers, Chau
venet succeeded in improving condi-
tions generally and in bringing about
the establishment Of q regular and
systematic course of study.
This institution, which owed SO
much to the professor of math EN- at
ics-and later Of astronomy and nat
ural philosophy--was transferred to
Annapolis in 1S45. Before he accept

GOLDEN GATE FOLKS
LIKE Marguerite
Miss SkirYin As Popular There
AS in New Britain

A recent issue of the Los Angeles
Daily Times prints an interesting
story regarding Miss Marguerite Skin
vim, who will be remem bered as the
leading lady of the Lyceum players
back in the days of T. L. Lynch's
closing days as manager Of that play
house. While a resident of this city,
Miss Skirvin made a host Of friends
on and off the stage.
OF her the Daily Times says
AT last-a real, live, lovely heiress
has joined our film colony! Her
stage name is Edna Earle. and at
present she is working at Universal,
under the direction of Ida May Park
But of course, it's her real name
that counts, and that Is Marguerite
Skirvin, and her papa's name Is we'll
known to Bradstreet, being William
Skirvin, capitalist, mine owner, and
proprietor Of various oil wells in
Oklahoma, as we'll as of string of
hotels throughout the East. Her
brother, William Sdrvin, Jr.. holds
a prominent government position in
Washington, D. G.
Miss Earle has been beautiful
mystery to the West, ever since she
came here a couple Of weeks ago.
Everybody knew she was very lovely
to look at that she had her own car
and beautiful clothes, and that she
had worked in pictures In New York.
Also some of them dinly remembered
having seen her somewhere before
and then suddenly remembered 1t way
on the stage in Henry Savage's tx
cuse Me- which was the first engage
ment she ever got.
"But nobody could tell just who
she was She had no trouble In get
ting a position at Universal because
she really had accomplished a great
deal for so young a girl-she's only 20
now-and SO deserved to get an en-
gagement by reason OF her talents
and beauty.
But now the mystery is all ex-
planned. One day, out in Oklahoma
City, lovely Marguerite Skirvin, just
out Of college, decided she was tired
Of everything she was doing--that she
wanted to work. But Pepper Skir-
vim couldn't see 1t that way at all. So
she told him she was going to Pitts
burgh to visit her brother. But she
didn't go to Pittsburgh. Instead she
went to New York-and got an en-
gagement in Excuse Me" the mo-
ment she poked her pretty head in at
Henry Savage's office door.
and then she changed her name.
Who would want to go on the stage
and play romantic heroines with a
name like Skirvin, anyhow? Clara
Kimball Young had once played a
role named Edna Earle. Just the
thing! Miss Young was Miss Skir-
/, WINS ideal. Then she got picture
engagement.
( "By and by Pepper Skirvin some
how found that Marguerite wasn't
merely attending tea riots and shop
ping bees in New York. Maybe he
saw her on the screen; anyhow he
forgave her.
"Seriously Miss Edna Earle Is one
of the most beautiful actresses on tho
screen today, as we'll as one OF tho
most talented. She has made sue
cess of which even Pepper Skirv1n
can be proud"
