“Miss le hand has shown me your note, and I told her that I wanted to answer it myself. “As you know, I have been very enthusiastic about the splendid Museum at the Naval Academy, and there is no doubt in my mind that it should be extended so as to display more models and prints and paintings of the United States Navy ships. This is especially nece...
Perhaps it was more than a coincidence that the first Curator of the Naval Academy Lyceum [Museum] was also the first Chaplain of the Naval Academy. The first reference to substantiate this is contained in the following quotation, which indicates his duties as a Curator: “The Reverend Mr. Jones, Chaplain of the Naval School at Annapolis.”4He report...

Among the unique collections in the Museum are two which I began nearly five years ago, the idea coming to me when a classmate, the late Richard Wainwright, gave me a special recording made by the Victor Company in 1908 at San Francisco, when “Fighting Bob” Evans hauled down his flag and retired for age. It records his Farewell Address to the Navy....
